Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

At the end of the course students will be able to do the following:
• analyze a problem both in terms of questions of fact and law
• identify goals, interests, and alternatives to a negotiated agreement,
develop criteria that would make a negotiated agreement legitimate, analyze the parties' relationship with a view to defining a communication strategy, explore levels of commitment and authority
• devise a negotiation strategy
• give oral presentations of legal and other arguments in a concise and convincing manner

Prüfungsstoff

The course offered makes use of traditional learning methods as well as new training techniques (role plays developed by the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School). As negotiation is a skill developed through appropriate and purposeful practice, there will be little lecture in this course. The instructor will be active in observing and evaluating the process of learning and will provide feedback in the form of correctives (comments and demonstration) to help students improve.
