Lawyers have a reputation for protracting disputes rather than facilitating them. If attorneys were trained as facilitators rather than perceived as impediments to the dispute-resolution process, perhaps that reputation would benefit greatly. In practice, a facilitator is a neutral dispute resolution practitioner that provides structure and process to the interactions of a group to help them participate fully and think creatively to work together better and move through a problem. Facilitation allows the group to explore issues, giving the members the space to evaluate options and find areas of consensus. If attorneys were trained as facilitators rather than perceived as impediments to the dispute-resolution process, perhaps that reputation would benefit greatly. 

This course will explore what facilitation is, and how lawyers can become facilitators for their clients to resolve their problems.
