InterNational Academy of Dispute Resolution Law School Tournament

The International Law School Mediation Tournament, sponsored annually by the International Academy of Dispute Resolution (INADR), is a prestigious event held each spring in Chicago, IL. It provides law students with a valuable opportunity to learn diverse mediation techniques and practices through friendly competition with peers from various cultural backgrounds.

Each team of three students participates in three preliminary rounds, assuming roles as mediators, advocates, and clients. Mediators collaborate in pairs, often with students from different schools, promoting cooperation in reaching resolutions rather than fostering competition. Judges evaluate based on teamwork with co-mediators, effective listening skills, the ability to assist advocates and clients in assessing their cases, maintaining professionalism, and guiding parties toward mediated resolutions.
