Research for real life

Immediately after our summer associates arrive, our summer program coordinators give an informal seminar over lunch on research techniques. Topics covered include how to get started on an assignment, where to find information, what to cover, what not to forget, communicating with the assigning attorney, following up, and more.

Negotiation skills

We offer a negotiation skills seminar each summer taught by Lynn Cohn. Lynn is a professor of negotiations at Northwestern University School of Law, one of the top ranked negotiation programs in the country. She is a licensed mediator and conducts negotiation consulting and mediations on a national and international basis. Lynn's workshop for our summer associates includes instruction, mock negotiations, and a question and answer period. We end the day with Wildman Harrold partners performing a mock negotiation using the same contract negotiation problem the summer associates worked on earlier in the day.
