A Few Words About the 23rd INADR International Law School Mediation Tournament
This international mediation competition is held annually and is aimed at law students. In recent years, it has attracted a growing number of participating teams from law schools around the world. This year, we are particularly proud that our team will be the only Greek team participating in the tournament.
The competition provides law students with the opportunity to learn a variety of mediation techniques while also developing and practising their negotiation skills in a spirit of friendly competition alongside fellow students from across the globe.
While traditional legal education primarily focuses on litigation and courtroom advocacy, competitions such as this enable students to explore alternative methods of dispute resolution. Awards are presented to the top-performing teams in each category.
