Our annual interactive clinic will be hosted in person on Friday, September 13 with CTL Director Rachel Milner Gillers. We host graduate students across degree programs where students learn a framework for negotiation analysis and hone skills through a series of fast-paced exercises and simulations. Additionally, students have the opportunity through the clinic to learn and apply a framework useful in contexts from salary negotiations to nuclear arms treaties.

Applications are due Friday, September 6 at 10:00 pm.
