LAW-2012: Negotiating and Resolving Complex Disputes

This course focuses on the more complicated aspects of negotiation and dispute resolution, particularly those disputes involving multiple parties and difficult, intractable conflict. Picking up where the Negotiation and ADR courses end, this course will utilize a single, complex simulated conflict. Students will role play various players within the conflict, negotiating with one another toward resolution of the dispute. Group discussions and lectures will be interspersed providing a mix of hands-on application with ongoing support and feedback. The course will include skills in defusing difficult conflict, navigating multiple stakeholder negotiations, and working through impasse and other barriers to resolution.
