About this episode: In Episode 137 of the Study Legal English Podcast, I interview Barrie J. Roberts, author of “The Getting to Yes Guide for ESL Students and Professionals: Principled Negotiation for Non-Native Speakers of English.” Barrie shares insights from her unique career transition from a public interest lawyer to an ESL instructor and mediator. We discuss her book, which acts as a guide for non-native English speakers to use when reading “Getting to Yes” by Roger Fisher, William L. Ury , Bruce Patton. The discussion also covers the essence of principled negotiation, the importance of understanding negotiation terms in context, difficult words such as “settle for” and “BATNA” and practical tips for using her book effectively alongside the seminal work “Getting to Yes.”

About this episode:
Ken Adams, the leading authority on contract drafting language, tells us about his A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting now in its 5th edition.
Ken tells us about some key additions to this book, including information about the words ‘material’, ‘consequential damages’, and ‘including’. I also share my opinion as to why every legal English learner who deals with contracts should get a copy of this book.
