Conflict & Alternative Dispute Resolution

ADR event is an extracurricular activity in which Business and Law students participate in simulated out-of-court conflict and dispute resolution proceedings.  The event promotes methods of settling conflicts,
such as: mediation, arbitration, and conciliation, outside of
traditional courtroom litigation.

"Participation in an international dispute resolution program
not only builds the student’s individual skills,
but also prepares to work synergistically in the real world
where collaboration between business and legal professionals
is paramount in obtaining optimal results for all stakeholders."
