LAST CHANCE! Register TODAY for the Representation in Mediation Competition

[AdvocacyInstitute]

TIME IS RUNNING OUT! REGISTER BY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15 FOR THE 2020 VIRTUAL REPRESENTATION IN MEDIATION COMPETITION!

This year’s competition will be held virtually on Saturday, November 21st.

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 Co-Presidents 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. As most real-world mediations are currently occurring virtually, the virtual nature of our Competition this year 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.
