The option in Dispute Resolution and Professionalism is intended for students wishing to obtain in-depth and practical experience in dispute resolution processes and professionalism, including professional ethics and written and oral advocacy.  Our program offers a particularly rich array of courses in this area.  In addition, by completing the course requirements and the Practicum Internship, most students taking this option will complete the education requirement to qualify as a mediator for the Ontario Mandatory Mediation Program. 

Should you have any questions about the option please contact the co-ordinator, Professor Marina Pavlović at [email protected].
