2015 1L Negotiations Competition

Posted By Elaine Owen, Sep 27, 2015

On September 26, 2015, the King Hall Negotiations Team hosted the Fourth Annual 1L Negotiation Competition at the UC Davis School of Law. This year's event celebrated record participation levels, with 30 teams competing.

Students negotiated in teams of two. The teams were evaluated by members of KHNT, all of whom are second-year and third-year law students. Following two preliminary rounds, the four highest-scoring teams advanced to the third and final round. Selecting finalists proved difficult, as many skilled negotiators participated in this year's competition. Prior to the competition, students participated in a series of workshops and simulations geared towards helping them learn how to prepare for a negotiation.

The King Hall Negotiations Team congratulates the two winning teams, Adam Brownrout  '18 & Karen Leung '18 and Anton Swain-Gil '18 & Malcolm Brudigan '18, as well as finalists Rebecca Friedemann '18 & Bianca Rodriguez '18 and Paolo Hermoso '18 & Greg Gonzalez '18.

The Negotiations Honors Board commends the entire Negotiations Team for its efforts administering this competition. Under the leadership of President Sam Mandell '16, Internal Competitions Chair Matthew Stokes '16, and Research Chair Bill Foster '17, the team planned a truly memorable event. KHNT extends its sincerest appreciation to Professor Donna Shestowsky, faculty advisor, for her steadfast commitment to the Negotiations Team. KHNT also thanks the dean's office for generously funding this event, and extends gratitude to all competitors for making the competition a memorable, didactic experience.
