About the Program
The Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Program promotes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and managing the competition for scarce resources in legal, business, and interpersonal contexts. The Program's broad mission includes the study of private and public transactions and disputes in domestic and international arenas. Housed in the School of Law, the program brings together a community of scholars and students from a variety of fields across UCLA and throughout southern California with overlapping scholarly, teaching, and practice interests.
Inaugural Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Colloquium
In the 2010 Spring Semester, the Program will present its inaugural Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Colloquium, featuring leading scholars in the field from around the nation. The Colloquia is open all UCLA faculty and students, alumna, and members of the community. CLE credit will be available for members of the California Bar. All meetings of the Colloquia will be held on Thursday afternoons from 3:05-4:45 in room 1314 of the Law Building. Light snacks will be served.
