The Canadian national negotiation competition was founded in 2017 to promote dispute resolution skills education in law schools, build networks across Canadian law schools, and serve as a qualifier for the International Negotiation Competition. Effective negotiation skills are foundational to good lawyering. This moot is designed to promote negotiation education among law students. In any year in which this moot is offered by the Schulich School of Law, we will send one team of two students to the competition. Students will showcase their negotiation skills in a variety of simulated settings. The simulations typically involve both transactional and dispute negotiation situations. Teams are assessed not only on the outcomes they attain for their clients, but also on a series of criteria designed to reflect good, ethical representation in a negotiation context. The Canadian competition is hosted by a Canadian law school on a Friday and Saturday in February or March of each year. If the Schulich team qualifies, and funding permits, the students will represent Canada in the international competition, held in June of each year at varied international locations. Note: Students may only take one competitive moot during their degree.

NOTE: Students may only take 1 competitive moot during their JD.
