📝 Abstract
[Summary generated by AI] In this instructional video, the author stages a near-real-time demonstration of the mediation process to give students a holistic view of its arc before analytic breakdown in later classes. Resources include two experienced volunteer co-mediators (Brad and Maddie), trained role players enacting a sibling inheritance dispute (Alice and Ella), a classroom of observers encouraged to change vantage points, and live videography (with participant waivers) to create reusable teaching footage. The methods emphasize structured observation: learners are cued to track mediator empathy, open-ended questioning, reflective listening, and summarizing; to distinguish positions from interests and feelings; and to note style differences and process transitions (opening, information-gathering, party dialogue, agreement work). The author presents the standard voluntary, neutral, three-hour model adapted here to a two-hour session with a mediator-called break and a post-session panel Q&A debrief. Pre-session co-mediator planning is highlighted (role division, trigger awareness, and summarizing assignments). Expected outcomes include improved student capacity to map mediation flow, recognize techniques in action, and compare mediator styles; a filmed case study for future instruction; and, if reached, party-generated written agreements, with the caveat that full resolution may extend beyond the observed session.
