I. Introduction 

This workplace dispute simulation of the hypothetical Smith vs Lawrence case involves a federal agency employee who complains to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission about discrimination. The case was negotiated live during ADR Cyberweek 2001 by a class of law students of Professor Janis Sarra in the Faculty of Law at the University of British Columbia. Since there was insufficient time to complete the simulation during ADR Cyberweek, other players, as identified above, were recruited to complete the exercise.
