Boston College Law School
The goal of this course is to teach you to think about negotiation as an opportunity to solve a problem that exists, or create new value where there is none, or try to make a bad situation a bit better. I hope to enhance your ability to think creatively and synthetically as well as analytically. You will also learn that planning is essential and can sometimes make up for your status as a new legal negotiator. The skills you will learn include analysis, persuasion, creativity, listening, interviewing, counseling, question framing, and the use of law and legal principle. We will also explore the moral and ethical issues implicated in negotiation--honesty, integrity, character, reputation and personal identity
