Jonathan M. Hyman, John Kettle, Paul L. Tractenberg, Rutgers University, Newark Merging Contracts and Negotiation Classes for Teaching Both Our presentation describes a method of joining Contracts and Negotiation classes for a negotiation exercise. The joint exercise is intended to enhance the Contracts students’ understanding of selected substantive topics in Contracts and to provide them with an introduction to negotiation and contract drafting. The exercise requires the Negotiations students to identify and convey to the Contracts students key negotiation ideas, to coach the Contracts students through the negotiation, and then to engage in some reflective critique of the students they coached. The exercise uses only two classroom sessions, and can be easily adapted whenever Contracts classes and Negotiation classes are being offered during the same semester. Ideally, the presentation at the conference would ask participants to go through a simple version of the same exercise, before the classroom presentation, and would then use the presentation period to demonstrate how we review the negotiations and their results, once the students have completed them. Attached is a one page description of the exercise [not on website]. At the conference, additional materials would include the instructions and the simulated problem we used, and the assignments given to the Negotiations class students. We used a computer to project in front of the class and discuss several of the agreements that were reached in the exercise, and would use the same method at the conference.
