Program on Negotiation

Christo and Jeanne-Claude—the artists whose notable projects include “The Gates” in New York City’s Central Park—received the Great Negotiator Award from HLS’s Program on Negotiation.

Last weekend, a team of students representing Harvard Law School took first place in The Negotiation Challenge in Leipzig, Germany. This year's Harvard Negotiators team was represented by Rene A. Pfromm LL.M. '08, Stefan Neata '08 and Jessica Price '08. Their win marks the second year in a row HLS has won the competition.

In Nepal, lawyers helped restore the rule of law. But not without paying a price.

A quarter-century after "Getting to Yes," Harvard's Program on Negotiation is refining the art and sharing it with the world.

Last spring, Erica Fox started the Harvard Negotiation Insight Initiative at HLS's Program on Negotiation to explore "what mindfulness and the great wisdom traditions have to teach us in the negotiation and dispute resolution field."

In his new book, Professor Robert Mnookin '68 urges lawyers to negotiate with the aim of solving problems without resorting to hard-bargaining tactics.
