   NORTHERN IRELAND MEDIATORS TO ATTEND LAW CLASS THURSDAY


Three visitors from Northern Ireland will visit The 
Ohio State University College of Law on Thursday, April 2, 
to discuss alternative mediation techniques with law 
students.  They will speak in Professor Nancy H. Rogers' 
Mediation Practicum class, which is held from 10 a.m. to 
noon in 25l Drinko Hall, 55 W. 12th Ave.  After class, they 
will have lunch with the students.

The three are a part of a group of six, who are in Ohio 
for three weeks and in Columbus for only three days.  They 
are here to learn more about conflict resolution management.  
In Ireland, they work in mediation efforts with police, 
local government, and community groups.

Members of the media are invited to attend the class. 
The speakers will be available for interviews for a few 
minutes following their time with the students.
