Negotiation Intensive and Moot Court

Negotiation Intensive and Moot Court - Professors Yorra and Muirhead

• Course Number: LAW-732
• Course Type: Experiential
• Credits: 2-3
• Enrollment Limit: Determined by the Registrar
• Description: Negotiation is a core skill for every lawyer, and this course gives students the chance to learn through practical experience. Throughout the semester, you’ll study negotiation strategies, practice them in realistic simulations, and critique both your own work and the work of your peers. These simulations use shared fact patterns and confidential client information to recreate the dynamics of real legal negotiations.

This is an intensive, hands-on course that meets once a week for a three-hour session. It culminates in the School Negotiation Competition-an all-day event in which participation is required. Because of the course’s structure, students may not add or drop the class after the deadline, and attendance is mandatory unless excused.

After the School Competition, a small group of students (typically two to six) will be selected to represent the law school at the Regional ABA Negotiation Competition in early November, with the opportunity to earn an additional credit hour. Teams that advance to the National Competition in late January or early February may earn another credit hour in the spring.
