ABA Negotiation Competition
The ABA Law Student Division Negotiation Competition provides a means for law students to practice and improve their negotiating skills. The competition simulates legal negotiations in which law students, acting as lawyers, negotiate a series of legal problems. The simulations consist of a common set of facts known by all participants and confidential information known only to the participants representing a particular side. All of the simulations deal with the same general topic, but the negotiation situation varies with each round and level of the competition. Two teams of two students will be selected to compete. All students portray lawyers throughout the competition.
Students must have taken, or be concurrently enrolled in, a negotiation course* to compete in this completion.
Credits
Students earn two credits in the fall semester. Students must be available to meet weekly for practices beginning in September. Additional practice sessions will be added as required nearer the competition. Continued practices may occur during spring semester as needed for the national finals.
