Examination topics
The course is built around a series of negotiation exercises. When negotiating, you should try your hardest to get the best possible outcome for yourself or your group. You are not graded on the outcomes of your negotiations, but rather on the quality of your preparation prior to the negotiation and your participation in post-negotiation discussions. The reason you are not graded on your outcomes is to encourage you to experiment with different strategies and techniques.
Your participation in class discussion will be evaluated on the quality of your contributions and insights. After each negotiation exercise, a debriefing session will include sharing information about results, sharing information about strategies attempted, and sharing reactions to the process. Quality comments possess one or more of the following properties:
· Offer a different, unique, but relevant, perspective based on analysis and theory.
· Contribute to moving the discussion and analysis forward.
· Build upon the comments of your classmates.
· Link relevant concepts to current events or past class discussions.2. Written Essay
You will be asked to write a short paper (not longer than app. 5 pages) after the course. You will receive further information on the required content of the paper during the course.

Negotiation is the art and science of securing agreements between two or more interdependent parties who are both seeking to maximize their outcomes. It is a way of getting what you want from others through communication. This course provides you with the opportunity to develop your negotiation skills in a series of simulations and debriefings that engage a variety of negotiation processes in the contexts of deal making and dispute resolution. Each simulation has been chosen to highlight central concepts that underlie negotiation strategy. The course is designed to address a broad spectrum of negotiation problems that are faced by lawyers, managers and other professionals. It is also designed to complement the knowledge learned in other courses during your studies. A basic premise of this course is that while lawyers needs analytical skills to develop optimal solutions to problems, a broad array of negotiation skills is needed for these solutions to be accepted and implemented. Successful completion of this course will enable you to recognize, understand, and analyze essential concepts in negotiations.
The course is built around a series of negotiation exercises, which will be conducted in English. We will be negotiating on both days. While the class officially meets at scheduled course times, you may be asked to prepare outside class for certain negotiation exercises. We will debrief every negotiation in class.
