Andrew Goodman's Effective Mediation Advocacy Student Edition established itself as the leading work for students in this specialist and increasingly important area. This second edition of the Student Edition has been updated to take in with the Churchill case, the Singapore Convention 2019, the impact of Brexit and the pandemic, updated rules for the major student mediation advocacy and negotiation competitions and other recent developments. It is essential reading for students seeking to develop skills in representing parties at mediation, and to improve their competition skills. With forewords by the Rt Hon Lord Dyson and Irena Vanenkova, former executive director of the International Mediation Institute, and with appendices covering the SCMA Mediation Advocacy Standards and Competencies, and the IMI's own practical tools for mediator selection and case management, this work is both an authoritative guide and a practical skills manual for students from many backgrounds.

"It provides the clearest possible grounding in the skills and practice of mediation, and the role of the advocate throughout the mediation process. It is compendious in scope and thoroughly practical in its advice. It should be seen to be the pre-eminent guide to practitioners who wish to develop and hone the specialist skills required of effective mediation advocates." Lord Dyson, Foreword

As the sector has developed, so this ground-breaking work has been expanded to cover recent authorities and new ideas and to take in the assistance practitioners can obtain from such organisations as SCMA, and IMI who have endorsed the work.
