Our annual interactive clinic will be hosted in person on Friday, September 26 with CTL Director Rachel Milner Gillers.

 In this highly interactive clinic, students learn practical skills to create and claim more value when negotiating while strengthening relationships. Through dynamic simulations and exercises, participants will develop strategies for both one-on-one and multiparty negotiations. Whether you are looking to sharpen salary negotiation skills or dreaming of negotiating international peace accords, this clinic will help you think more analytically and improve performance at all stages of negotiation.

Applications are due Tuesday, September 16 at 10:00 pm.
