Negotiations Team Makes Impressive Showing at Nationals
Christopher Hughes '07 and Micah Nilsson '07 made an impressive showing at the American Bar Association's Law Student Negotiation Competition held on February 10-11, 2007, in Miami, Florida. The Davis team, which had quickly advanced to the national competition after placing third in regionals, finished 13th nationally.
Of the 220 teams that competed in regional competitions throughout the nation, only 24 were chosen to compete in the national finals in this highly regarded legal competition. Professor Donna Shestowsky, the team's coach, said that many of the other coaches commented on how amazing it was that UC Davis made it to nationals so quickly. "Our team did a terrific job," she said. "I saw all of their rounds. [They] really made a name for our school."
The ABA Negotiation Competition is a nationwide event sponsored by the American Bar Association's Law Student Division. The competition promotes greater interest among law students in legal negotiation and provides a means for them 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 the 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.
Congratulations!
