Course

will meet Wednesday-Thursday, May 7-8, 2008 at UC Berkeley's
Clark Kerr Conference Center. The course is intended for professionals

In Course
One, we show you how a process of face-to-face negotiation can augment
traditional policy making with creative agreements that are better informed
and more stable. During the training, participants learn the elements
of mutual gains bargaining, apply them in a series of simulated disputes,
and reflect on the application of these tools to everyday work situations.

receive a certificate of completion and MCLE credits (if applicable).
