L. Carey Center for Dispute Resolution. These courses
include:

- Negotiation
- Representing Clients in Mediation
To complement this coursework, students can apply the critical
and analytical skills learned in the classroom in real-world
contexts through supervised externships in labor and employment
law. Extern opportunities have included placements at the National
Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission and
the U.S. Department of Labor.
