   The submission date for this assessment is Friday 3rd May 2024. Your assessment must be

   extensions is available here: Mitigation | Student hubs | University of Exeter.
   Your assessment must be submitted electronically, via the ELE module page. Please read any
   university guidance on submitting assessments via ELE in advance, to allow for any problems
   you may encounter when submitting and ensure your work is submitted on time. You are
   advised to submit your work at least 3 hours in advance of the deadline to allow time to
   deal with any problems that arise when submitting. If technical problems prevent you from
   submitting on time because you have not left a reasonable amount of time to submit you will
   NOT be granted an extension. This will have significant consequences for your grade. It is your
   responsibility to ensure that the correct document is uploaded before the submission deadline.
   If you have difficulties submitting, please contact the Law Office. More information on submitting
   your assessments can be found on the Law School ELE Gateway.

3. Word Limit
   The word limit for this assessment is: 2,500 words. (Where there are word limits or equivalent
   for different elements of the portfolio, these are indicated in section 7.)
   A mark penalty will be applied if you exceed this total word limit by more than 10%. For further
   details please see the document ‘Law School Assessment Word Count Guidance’, available on
   the Law School ELE Gateway. (Exceeding the word count for individual elements of the
   portfolio, where limits or guidance are given, will be taken into account in marking but will not
   result in a word count penalty unless the total assessment word count is also exceeded.)
   The number of words used must be stated accurately on the front of your submission.
   Inaccuracy in stating the number of words used may be considered as intentionally misleading
   and result in University disciplinary proceedings.
   The word limit for this assessment does not include citations and references contained within
   footnotes and does not include your bibliography. For further guidance please see the
   document ‘Law School Assessment Word Count Guidance’, available on the Law School ELE
   Gateway. It is your responsibility to ensure you understand and follow the word limit rules
   applying to this assessment.
   In a portfolio assessment, different requirements may apply to one or more elements of the
   portfolio. It is your responsibility to check (see section 7, and with your module convenor) if
   different requirements as to word counts/limits apply to different elements of your portfolio.

   Unless informed otherwise in writing by your module convenor you must:

• Use 12 point Arial typeface and double spacing
• Use OSCOLA referencing for citations
• Include a bibliography, prepared following OSCOLA, including all sources consulted
  when preparing your answer (whether or not also contained within footnotes).
  In a portfolio assessment, different requirements may apply to different elements of the
  portfolio. It is your responsibility to check (see section 7, and with your module convenor) if
  different requirements as to presentation and referencing apply to different elements of your
  portfolio.

3. Assessment title/task
   This assessment will enable you to demonstrate your learning journey through understanding
   the role of ADR (mediation) in the justice system to being able to apply mediation skills
   effectively, as a mediator in a dispute.
   Your portfolio assessment must include the following elements:
   Element 1 of the portfolio (1,000 words):
   Explain the policy impact on mediators following the decision in Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil
   Council [2023] EWCA Civ 1416.
   Element 2 of the portfolio (1,000 words):
   Answer all parts:
   (a) Write out the opening statement for the mediator in the ExeBrew case.
   (b) Explain why this is the basis for a high quality mediation.
   (c) How would the statement differ if it was a restorative justice victim-offender mediation?
   Element 3 of the portfolio (500 words):
   A settlement has been reached in the ExeBrew case!
   Critically analyse the settlement agreement provided, using the EU Code of Conduct for
   Mediators and CEDR Model Settlement Agreement to explain whether this settlement
   agreement is fit for purpose and whether any amendments to the ExeBrew text should be
   made.
   You are very strongly advised to include all required elements of the portfolio, and to check with
   the module convenor if you are unsure of requirements. Failure to include one or more of any
   required elements of the portfolio will be taken into account in the mark awarded and is likely to
   have a significant impact on the final grade for this assessment.
