Register Open for the 2021 Representation in Mediation Competition!

[AdvocacyInstitute]

Register now for UB Law School’s Representation in Mediation Competition. This year’s competition will be held in person or virtually on Saturday, November 20th.

Participation is limited to 2L and 3L students, but 1Ls are encouraged to volunteer to help run the Competition. If any 1Ls are interested, please contact the ADR Society Student Officers listed below.

As an increasing number of civil legal cases are referred to mediation, it is vital that the lawyer accompanying his or her client to the mediation table has the knowledge and skill-set necessary to maximize a client’s results in this context. If the Competition is held virtually, most real-world mediations are currently occurring virtually, and our Competition will be great practice for future lawyers to hone their attorney advocacy skills in a virtual setting. The interaction between lawyer and client and the use of interest-based problem solving is the focus of the Representation in Mediation Competition.
