Summer Programs

For Visiting JD Students

Visiting JD students in good standing are invited to enroll in our summer courses in dispute resolution. At no other institution of higher learning will you find such a quality educational experience that will enhance your law school resume. With courses offered online, you can study with the best minds in conflict resolution from anywhere in the country.

Get Ready for the Future of ADR

Now more than ever, our world needs empathic leaders, peacemakers, and problem solvers. While the field of dispute resolution has been in evolution for the past few years, the current COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the global conversation on conflict.

The Straus Institute has been a preeminent leader in the ADR field for over thirty years, and for the first time in our history, we are taking our comprehensive and diverse curriculum online. Our distinguished faculty and worldwide network of alumni and practitioners will equip you with essential skills to resolve timely disputes and navigate complex global challenges that lie ahead in our future.
