Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program

The Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program (HNMCP) is the nation’s first legal clinic focusing on dispute systems design and conflict management. HNMCP was founded in 2006 by Professor Robert Bordone to take Harvard Law School students from pedagogy to practice in the fields of negotiation, dispute resolution, and conflict management.

We train a new generation of lawyers with the skills – in negotiation, mediation, facilitated dialogue, stakeholder assessment, dispute systems evaluation and design, conflict analysis, and curriculum development – necessary to help their clients manage their negotiations and disputes efficiently and creatively.
