Register NOW for the 2022 Representation in Mediation Competition

Post by AdvocacyInstitute »

Register now for the UB School of Law Representation in Mediation Competition. This year’s competition will be held in-person on Saturday, November 19th from 8 am - 5:30 pm.

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.

Because an increasing number of civil legal cases are referred to mediation by the courts, or mediation is agreed to by both sides of a legal dispute, it is vital that the lawyer accompanying his or her client to the mediation table has the knowledge and skill-set necessary to maximize the client’s results in this context. This Competition is great practice for future lawyers to hone their attorney advocacy and negotiation skills in a mediation setting. The interaction between lawyer and client and the use of interest-based problem solving is the focus of the Representation in Mediation Competition.
