= International Negotiation Competition = The International Negotiation Competition (INC) is the oldest and most renowned competition focusing on international legal negotiation for law students from all over the world.

The INC for Law Students is a competition in which a team of two law students representing a party/client negotiates either an international transaction or the resolution of an international dispute with an opposing team of two law students.

History of INC
In 1998, two American law schools, Creighton University and Pepperdine University, sponsored the first annual International Negotiation Competition. The inaugural competition was hosted by Pepperdine and modelled on the existing Negotiation Competition sponsored by the American Bar Association Law Student Division. Following the success of the Louis M. Brown International Client Consultation Competition, the International Negotiation Competition develops negotiation skills in the context of international transactions and disputes. The countries represented at the inaugural competition were Australia, Canada, England, and the United States. The Australian team from University of Sydney was the first winner of the traveling plaque presented by the Practicing Law Institute of New York City. Since then the competition has become truly international, with teams regularly competing from Australia, Canada, Denmark, England and Wales, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Puerto Rico, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland and the USA.

Goals of the INC
The goals of the International Negotiation Competition for Law Students are to, primarily, promote greater interest among law students in legal negotiation. Being it the only competition dealing with the field of Negotiation, it provides a means for law students to practice and improve their negotiating skills in cross-border transactions and disputes. The International level of the INC enables law students to meet law students and lawyers from other countries; moreover, it helps law students become aware of and experience the special aspects of international legal negotiations, including the enhanced difficulties of cross-cultural communication as well as the potential differences in negotiating styles, ethical limitations, social norms, and business practices.

Organization
The International Negotiation Competition for Law Students is organized, sponsored, and administered by the International Negotiation Competition Executive Committee.
