The Family/Dependency Law Mediation Clinic is open to a subset of the students who enrolled in the Mediation Clinic I course. Students will be taught the unique skills and substantive area of the law necessary to successfully mediate these important and challenging cases in the Edelman Children’s courthouse in Monterey Park. Mediations will be conducted in a co-mediation style and assisted by supervisory staff. In addition to conducting mediations, the class will also have regular class meetings, where they will debrief the mediations and discuss the challenges encountered and effective techniques and strategies to use in future mediations.
