The Dispute Resolution Institute’s negotiation teaching materials are designed to support teaching courses and workshops involving negotiation, drafting and revising, transactional lawyering, and dispute resolution. The simulations include both transactional and dispute resolution scenarios specifically designed for law students, lawyers, business executives, community members, and youth (junior and senior high school students). The simulations include a wide variety of subject matter, complexity and activities. Each simulation includes teaching materials with instructions, learning objectives and suggestions for some debrief and discussion points.
The teaching materials are available for use by instructors at no charge. Instructors may copy or modify the simulation materials to suit their classroom and teaching needs, so long as materials retain their copyright notice and attribution.
The simulation overviews can be downloaded directly. Additional materials accompanying each simulation are available upon request by contacting Jim Hilbert by email.
