Mediation and Negotiation Dégustation Series

Over 90% of civil proceedings filed in the High Court of New Zealand settle before trial. So, how do lawyers settle cases? Through negotiation and mediation. Join leading Aotearoa mediator and Auckland Law School Fellow Nina Khouri for a series of lunchtime lectures designed to give you a taste of mediation and negotiation as processes for resolving civil disputes.
