This course will help you improve your negotiations with clients, partners, associates, paralegals, judges, classmates, professors, friends, and family members. Also, this course will teach you how to listen more effectively, respond to difficult tactics, identify ethical boundaries, and deal with complex, multi‐party negotiations. In other words, it will help you improve the kinds of conversations you have every single day.
Students will learn a structured approach to negotiation that can guide the way you measure negotiating success, prepare for a negotiation, conduct a negotiation, and review a negotiation. This particular approach is called "integrative," "principled," or "interests-based" negotiation, and it grew out of the work developed at the Harvard Program on Negotiation. Integrative negotiation focuses on maximizing value and strengthening relationships.
Since negotiation is something you learn by doing, we will engage in interactive negotiation simulations throughout the course. These role plays are designed to enhance your skills, demonstrate concepts, and provide you with opportunities to experiment with various negotiation techniques. As a result, we will move back and forth between theory and practice, applying lessons from theory to our negotiation practice, and drawing lessons from our experience to critique theory. We will examine a variety of contexts and problems that create a need for negotiation and raise questions about what it means to negotiate well.
Class will meet on four Friday afternoons and four Saturdays: February 4th & 5th, February 18th & 19th, March 11th & 12th, and April 8th & 9th. Full attendance at all dates is required. Any enrolled students who are not present at the start of the first day of class will be dropped from the course.
