Arbitration & Mediation

But since then I have read the wonderfully refreshing Improvisational Negotiation by Jeff Krivis and talked to him about the connections between jazz and mediation. And when someone like Jeff says this is the next frontier for mediators, you better listen up... So I wasn't surprised to hear music coming from Jeff's classroom at Pepperdine where he was teaching Improvisational Mediation recently - but I was alarmed to hear he had smuggled a whole jazz band in there!'

Well now you can see it - musicians and students learning negotiation techniques by trained jazz musicians at Pepperdine Law School. But I'm back to where I was - I just don't get the connection!
