Segment 1: 60 minutes		Finding Common Ground Negotiations become stuck when neither side is willing to consider options which address the needs of all. In this section lawyers learn ways to increase cooperation and build rapport toward meeting mutual objectives.

Segment 2: 60 minutes		Brainstorming for Mutual Gain When negotiations reach a standstill, we often abandon attempts to approach the situation with a fresh perspective. Instead, we tend to become entrenched in the virtues of our side’s positions and principles. This section models an approach to developing proposals that will minimize defensive responses and increase foundations for achieving more of our clients’ objectives.
