Negotiation Competition 2008

Negotiation skills are in great demand in the legal arena, and the American Bar Association sponsors a national competition to encourage law students to nurture these skills. Two teams of two students each participate in a simulated negotiation session based on a hypothetical fact pattern. A panel of judges scores the teams, and winners go on to compete on regional and national levels.

Each participant (not each team) must complete the application form.

Information Sheet and Application

Deadline for entry is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 3rd. Application forms must be placed in the envelope on the door of room 632 or email to lawcomp@bu.edu by 5:00 p.m. sharp.

Competition rounds will take place on Saturday, October 18th . Each negotiation session will yield one winning team and that team will proceed to the next round of the Competition on Monday, October 20th.

Professor Bob Burdick will teach a special session on Negotiation Skills on Saturday, October 4th. First year competitors must attend this session!

Directors: Benjamin Boudreaux, Benjamin Price, and John Yarwood
