The Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution presents a Peace in the Desert lecture featuring Daniel Schorr, Senior News Analyst for National Public Radio.

October 4, 2008 The Mediators of Southern Nevada, along with the Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution, held a judicial forum to introduce candidates running for family and civil/criminal court seats. Unfortunately, an equipment failure caused us to lose the last third of the Civil/Criminal Court candidates.

Professor John Lande, Director of the LL.M. Program in Dispute Resolution at the University of Missouri School of Law, spoke about how lawyers can get better results for their clients by using negotiation agreements. He explained how planned negotiations differ from typical ad hoc negotiations and listed advantages of planned negotiations for clients and lawyers. He described possible features in written negotiation agreements such as provisions regarding phased exchange of information, use of joint experts, and use of third-party neutrals.
