He outlines his professional journey, beginning with his entry into law practice in 1977, a clerkship, a junior associate role, and his first civil jury trial in 1978, followed by over two decades of litigation experience. After earning a master’s degree in peacemaking and conflict studies, he transitioned to full‑time mediation in 2000, mediating thousands of cases worldwide.

I'm Doug Noll. I'm the creator and publisher of Negotiation Mastery for the Legal Pro. It's the only online course designed for lawyers by lawyers that teaches legal negotiation. I entered the practice of law in 1977, spent a year clerking in a judicial clerkship, and then went into private practice as a junior associate in a small firm in September 1978. I tried my first civil jury trial in November of 1978 And after that, won big and lost big for over 22 years. Through a series of circumstances that changed my life, I went back to school and obtained my master's degree in peacemaking and conflict studies and left the practice of law in 2000 to open up a full-time mediation practice. Since 2000, I have mediated thousands of cases around the world. I am a fellow of the International Academy of Mediators, a fellow of the American College of Civil Trial Mediators, I'm one of the few American mediators certified under the International Mediation Institute standards for mediators. I'm on numerous panels. I've been consistently voted as one of the best lawyers in America since 2005. I'm a Northern California Super Lawyer. I'm AV-rated, and the list goes on and on and on. So, all of that is nice, but what's really important is that over the last 33 years I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in negotiation. And I'm passing all of that information on to you in this course, Negotiation Mastery for the Legal Pro. I really wish somebody had told me all the secrets that I reveal in this online course back when I was a lawyer in the, in the late 1970s. So if you're looking to really develop case-winning strategies that will up your game in your negotiations and your mediations, check out the course.
