This new edition of this popular book is much improved. It includes all of the latest developments, for example: the ABA SDR Task Force on Mediation Quality, all of the new arbitration cases to date, and the revised Rule 408, as well as new readings updating federal court ADR, mass torts (tied to the BP oil spill), and online dispute resolution. It has been streamlined considerably and reorganized to make it more user-friendly and even easier to teach. At the same time, new readings and cases have been introduced that tie the traditional materials more explicitly to ethics and the law more generally.

Today's legal profession demands that lawyers understand and engage in dialogue about basic empirical research techniques.

Hailing from diverse backgrounds, authors Lawless, Robbennolt, and Ulen bring practical experience and insight to this accessible research methods text that features: <ul>
<li> a consistent focus on basic principles and concepts, explained in an intuitive style requiring no prerequisite knowledge of math or statistics </li> <li> clear explanations geared to students new to empirical techniques <ul>
<li> optional problem sets and footnotes that will challenge more experienced students who are eager to explore specific topics in depth </li> </ul>
</li> <li> generous use of examples that show how empirical techniques are applied in a range of substantive areas </li> <li> coverage of different stages of empirical research—from formulating research questions and testable hypotheses, to data collection, sampling, coding, statistical analysis, and presenting data <ul>
<li> discussion of the connections among the different stages of empirical research </li> </ul>
</li> <li> sidebars with in-depth views of particular topics that provide flexible options for teaching </li> <li> learning-by-doing exercises at the end of each chapter </li> </ul>

The Psychology of Tort Law (Psychology and the Law, 2)

Tort law regulates most human activities: from driving a car to using consumer products to providing or receiving medical care. Injuries caused by dog bites, slips and falls, fender benders, bridge collapses, adverse reactions to a medication, bar fights, oil spills, and more all implicate the law of torts. The rules and procedures by which tort cases are resolved engage deeply-held intuitions about justice, causation, intentionality, and the obligations that we owe to one another. Tort rules and procedures also generate significant controversy—most visibly in political debates over tort reform.
The Psychology of Tort Law explores tort law through the lens of psychological science. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research and their own experiences teaching and researching tort law, Jennifer K. Robbennolt and Valerie P. Hans examine the psychological assumptions that underlie doctrinal rules. They explore how tort law influences the behavior and decision-making of potential plaintiffs and defendants, examining how doctors and patients, drivers, manufacturers and purchasers of products, property owners, and others make decisions against the backdrop of tort law. They show how the judges and jurors who decide tort claims are influenced by psychological phenomena in deciding cases. And they reveal how plaintiffs, defendants, and their attorneys resolve tort disputes in the shadow of tort law. 
Robbennolt and Hans here shed fascinating light on the tort system, and on the psychological dynamics which undergird its functioning.

Psychology for Lawyers: Understanding the Human Factors in Negotiation, Litigation, and Decision Making, Second Edition

Negotiation and Lawyers takes the latest scholarly thinking in negotiation and applies it to the various tasks that negotiators do in a way that negotiation practitioners will appreciate. Written in 2020, the book is responsive to the increased role technology plays in the negotiation process due to the recent pandemic and provides important insights into the impact of racial inequity and implicit bias in negotiation.\nNegotiation and Lawyers presents the core concepts, skills, and strategies for lawyers to succeed in the art of negotiation. We believe that anyone can improve their negotiating skills by utilizing research and psychology to inform a more intentional and strategic approach, which is what this book does―tailors negotiation theory to negotiation practice. To do this, the authors move away from the prevailing method of teaching negotiation styles; they present negotiation as a process where two fundamental tasks are taking place: the creation and claiming of value. Negotiators tend to think one task is more important than the other, and this book supports both schools of thought. No matter where one stands on this issue, improving one's ability as a negotiator requires practice in skills such as listening, framing, and perspective-taking as well as understanding how to effectively prepare for negotiation in order to make more strategic, intentional, and ethical decisions. Furthermore, negotiators must acknowledge the impact of human factors in the process―emotions, cognitive biases, identity, perceptions, racial inequity, and implicit bias along with the non-human factors such as how to negotiate using various modes of technology.\nThis book presents these topics in a succinct manner and is ideal for 2-3 credit courses or shorter, intensive programs including negotiation training programs. At just under 200 pages, readers can easily absorb the core concepts while also having plenty of opportunity for deeper exploration through unique call-out boxes interspersed throughout the text as well as the traditional reflection questions in most textbooks.
