Understanding Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Level: 2 Credits: 4 Marking Service

Description:

Understand how legal disputes are resolved – without getting lost in the legal jargon 

Legal disputes can seem complicated, but the processes used to resolve them don’t have to be. This course will help you understand how litigation and dispute resolution processes work, who is involved, what happens at each stage, and the principles that guide them. 

What you'll learn 

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to: 

• Explain one litigation and one dispute resolution process 

• Identify the participants and key steps involved 

• Explain possible outcomes and underlying principles 

• Consider the strengths and weaknesses of different processes 

• Use relevant examples and evidence to support your explanations  

Rather than simply learning legal terminology, you’ll practise breaking down legal processes and explaining how they work in real situations. 

These skills will help you make sense of how disagreements can be handled through courts and other dispute resolution processes, and how different legal systems approach resolving disputes.
