Negotiation Clinic Introduction 谈判诊所课程介绍
Background背景
One of the key skills for a lawyer is the ability to negotiate. Litigation lawyers resolve more disputes through negotiation than through going to court. Commercial lawyers need to negotiate when arranging a business deal, seeking venture capital or preparing an IPO. Family lawyers, government lawyers, in-house counsel – no matter what your specialty, you need to be able to negotiate well to succeed. But very few lawyers have been given special negotiation training.
For the past 30 years, Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School have been developing a course on negotiation to teach future lawyers and business executives the skills of negotiation. These courses have become some of the most importance and popular courses at the Law and Business Schools. From next semester, former Harvard Program on Negotiation fellow Andrew Lee will introduce the latest international negotiation theory and skills combined with Chinese legal situations to PKU students.
谈判技巧是律师的一项重要能力，诉讼律师通过谈判解决的争端要比出庭解决得多，商业律师在准备交易、和风险投资沟通、以及准备公司上市文件时都需要运用谈判，无论你的专业方向是家庭法、政府法规、或者机构法律顾问，你都需要以优秀的谈判能力来取得成功。然而只有非常少数的律师接受过特别的谈判训练。
在过去30年里，哈佛大学法学院和商学院研究和发展出一套适用于未来律师和职业经理人的谈判技巧课程,该课程已成为法学院和商学院最受欢迎和最具影响力的课程之一。下学期开始，哈佛大学谈判项目研究学者李伟明先生将结合最新的国际谈判理论技巧与中国司法实践，通过谈判诊所将谈判课程介绍给北京大学法学院学生。
