Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Course Description
This course offers a practice-oriented introduction to the basic principles of mediation from a user's perspective. It is addressed to aspiring legal professionals wishing to develop and train their problem-solving and negotiation skills. The course is designed to help students to advance their intuition in order to structure negotiation processes and to develop their own basic negotiation toolkit.

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' relationships 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.
