About the Event
Outofcourt presents a three-day training session on Mediation. This training session aims to provide law students to learn mediation through simulated exercises and mock sessions.
As a country whose judicial system is clogged with a staggering number of cases, we are reaching a breaking point where the judicial system will fail to deliver. It has now become imperative to find alternative means and mechanisms to provide relief. This is acknowledged by the Supreme Court. The law students today need to be future/career ready. ADR is seeing a huge growth today.
The Law colleges in India are also becoming proactive in incorporating mediation Moot Courts and Arbitration cells in the campuses to introduce to the students these concepts which are essential for all lawyers.
In the recent past, there has been increasing in the popularity of Negotiation and Mediation like the UNCITRAL Working group discussion on coming up with an international treaty like the New York Convention and the Singapore Convention for the enforcement of mediated settlement agreements, and the discussions on the use of mediation in resolving international investment disputes.
Mediation is, rapidly, becoming the first choice of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism in courts in India. It is also becoming popular as a means of resolving commercial and civil disputes.
The positive thrust from the Supreme Court in recognising its effectiveness has only cemented its position as a quick, practical and economical means of conflict resolution.
It is important for law students to get exposed to Mediation, and hence, this training is an effort from Outofcourt to get the budding lawyers to learn this thoroughly.
