The interest in Abraham Lincoln sparked by the recent release of Spielberg’s film prompts a reminder of Tom Stipanowich’s recent article, in the ABA’s\u00a0Dispute Resolution<\/em> magazine, on Lincoln as a counsellor and negotiator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stipanowich continues to work on a larger project addressing this topic.\u00a0 In the meanwhile, his shorter article may be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
