Abstract
How important is legal authority to the negotiation process? Scholars have discussed this issue and law students argue about it in negotiations classes. A survey of practicing lawyers reveals that law is very important to preparation for negotiation, but less so as a determinant of negotiated outcomes. Factors such as financial constraints, bargaining power, and negotiating skill seem to drive negotiated results in practice more than legal authority.
