Gee Wind v. SpinPower 

Marjorie Corman Aaron 

This fairly simple two-party simulation is intended to teach effective distributive negotiation strategies and behaviors. Simulation run time is 20- 30 minutes plus debrief. While the fact pattern describes potential litigation and legal claims, entanglement in any hypothetical litigation is not the most important element in establishing a reasonable settlement. GEE-Wind’s attorney drafted a complaint against SpinPower for $200 million, claiming slander, tortious interference with contractual relations, tortious interference with an advantageous business relationship, and stealing trade secrets.
