American University

American University is establishing the Program on Legislative Negotiation as a joint endeavor of the Washington College of Law and the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies. The program is designed to help overcome legislative gridlock and has four immediate objectives: (a) to provide negotiation training for legislative members and staff, (b) to train students and professionals through experiential learning programs, (c) to facilitate and apply research on effective legislative negotiation, and (d) to build a community of scholars, journalists, policymakers, and others who share these goals. Support for this program enables American University to serve as a hub for this effort.
