ABOUT THIS EVENT
ABA Practical Skills Competitions offer students an opportunity to hone the skills that students will use as a practitioner through intra-school, regional, and national competitions. Students will meet with fellow law students and legal practitioners from around the nation.
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.
