Unit Description

Introduces students to the concept of ‘cultural difference’ and how this impacts on fair and equitable outcomes in the alternative dispute resolution system. Discusses the concepts of culture as being the way of life of a particular group of people and therefore encapsulates ‘difference’ in sexual preference, age, socio-economic status, as well as race and ethnicity. Explores these different cultural groups and the impact that their ‘difference’ has on fairness and justice in alternative dispute resolution and practical strategies for overcoming disadvantage within the system.
