Roger Fisher (professor)

Roger Fisher (1922-2012) was a professor at Harvard Law School. Fisher was renowned for his work in negotiation, and authored (with William Ury, and later, others) the seminal book Getting to Yes. Professor Fisher was active in the Harvard Negotiation Project founded in 1979, which specializes in the "principled negotiation" style described in the book. Until his retirement in 1993 (?), Professor Fisher helped run a week-long course (Harvard Negotiation Workshop). The 5-day, intensive workshop of around 40 people consisted of attorneys, law students, people from the business world, and lay persons.
