The University of the Sunshine Coast Law Associations’ Annual Negotiation Competition
2024 dates to be announced soon!
Summary
The University of the Sunshine Coasts’ Negotiation Competition provides students with an opportunity to focus on their practical legal skills.
The competition involves two teams, each consisting of two solicitors, discussing a dispute until they reach a settlement that if successful, mutually benefits both parties. Some facts may be revealed to both teams, although some facts may also be kept a secret from the opposing team. Both teams are provided with individual instructions from their clients explaining their preferred outcome that the team should aim to achieve. Teams will then be provided will valuable feedback from the judges.
Negotiation is a fundamental skill for those in the legal profession, and this competition will provide students with valuable, real world experience. Students are also able to build relationships, and network with some experienced practitioners.
