The University of Law in York, which incorporates the College of Law, will welcome the UK’s toughest student negotiators this weekend as it plays host to the finals of the national Negotiation Competition.
Twelve teams from law schools around the country will battle it out in a contest to measure their negotiation skills, at the Bishopthorpe Road centre on Saturday.
The winner will have the chance to represent England and Wales in The International Negotiation Competition at the Chapman University School of Law in Orange, California in July. The twelve teams successfully beat off competition in a series of regional heats in February.
Paul Aber, director of The University of Law in York, said: “It is very important in today’s global market that would-be lawyers have the know-how and skill-set to negotiate effectively across contexts, cultures and national boundaries.”
