The Negotiation Moot Court presents an inter-law school competition. The objective of the competition is mainly focused on the ability of its participants to use negotiation skills and strategies to successfully negotiate a settlement that best meets the needs of each party. The competition simulates real negotiations in which law students act as real lawyers and negotiate legal problems.
The Negotiation Moot Court Team consists of two teams with two members in each. The members of the team work together with the scope of evaluation of each other’s negotiation styles, arguments, legal strategy and preparation level for the participation in the Regional Competition. The Regional Competition takes place in first half of November and is followed by the National Competition held in February. The teams are trained by the students of the School of Law, who took participation in the competition of the previous year. They can also serve on the board of the Negotiation Moot Court. Team members must be ABA student members.
Working in teams the participants are not allowed to use any substantive information or lead a research. All needed information is provided in the library where the students can also watch the videos of previous rounds from already past negotiations.
