For the final stage of a simulation in my negotiation course, one group of students negotiated with a video hookup to a student who had to be out of town.

You can … Continue reading Green on Race and ADR
Jim Coben was shocked, shocked that I didn’t mention multi-stage simulations (MSS) at the Legal Educators’ Colloquium Resource Share. (I was dutifully following instructions to focus on new stuff.)
