Academic Profile
Marilyn Scott graduated as one of the first UTS Master of Laws students majoring in Dispute Resolution. She later joined the Faculty in 1995 as the Director of the Centre for Dispute Resolution. In this position, Marilyn pioneered the Faculty's distinctive dispute resolution program.
Her qualifications as a lawyer, arbitrator, practicing mediator and negotiation strategist bring practical experience to her teaching. Marilyn has been a Visiting Scholar at the Strauss Institute, Pepperdine University, California and has been trained in Mediation and Negotiation at Harvard Law School, Boston to the Advanced level.
Marilyn is currently a Vice-President of Collaborative Professionals (NSW) Inc, a not-for-profit organization promoting the new developing Collaborative Practice. The first training in Collaborative Practice by an Australian university was presented in the Faculty's Professional Development program under her guidance. Marilyn has also held membership of both the NSW Law Society ADR Committee and the Arbitration Liaison Committee over many years and is a member of the Society's panel of mediators.
