Abstract
This paper endeavours to provide a framework for common patterns of behaviour and
persuasion, observed anecdotally in high conflict negotiations in civil and family
disputes, often including legal representatives. It sets out:
• Some introductory boundaries to the topic of ‘persuasion’
• A composite model of a persuasive lawyer – negotiator
• Basic negotiation patterns
• The task of creating doubt about rights, goals and power
• Cialdini’s sales levers
• Persuasion and pause
• A glimpse at deception of others during negotiation
• A glimpse at deception of self and ‘decision traps’
• Persuasion via ‘intangibles’ – procedural skill and emotional awareness.
