Alternative Dispute Resolution
Mission Statement
The Alternative Dispute Resolution and Client Counseling Board focuses its efforts on the development of skills necessary to resolve disputes before trial. This technique often costs only a small fraction of the trial process and also often avoids or reduces the potentially devastating relationship destruction that frequents typical courtroom resolution.
The Board is comprised of both second-and third-year law students. The Board conducts mock negotiations for the Negotiation classes, as well as mentoring Negotiations students in the early portion of the course.
The Board hosts an intramural negotiation competition each spring as well as the Regional ABA Negotiation Competition every two or three years. The Board sends teams to compete in the Regional ABA Negotiation Competition each fall and other available competitions in the spring.
