Allen v. Allen

This file is designed to develop the out-of-court representational skills of present and future divorce lawyers. It focuses on the case of Allen v. Allen and the divorce lawyer’s role in representing a client in the negotiation and mediation of the Allen’s divorce dispute. This file stresses the link between counseling a client, negotiation on behalf of a client, and representing a client at the mediation session. This counseling, negotiation, and mediation representation file is a companion to a trial case file and a depositions case file with the same name and family. The trial file and depositions file focus on advocacy skills in divorce disputes that cannot be resolved through mediation or negotiation.
