Congratulations Dispute Resolution Triathlon Winners

The Hugh Carey Center for Dispute Resolution at St. John’s hosted the third annual Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon in Manhattan this weekend. Twenty-four student teams from law schools around the country participated in the competition, which requires them to negotiate, then mediate, then arbitrate a realistic securities dispute. FINRA neutrals serve as mediators, arbitrators, and judges.

This year, Florida International took first place in the Negotiation round and William & Mary took first in Mediation. Texas Wesleyan won the Advocate’s Choice award, given to the team that the other teams vote as demonstrating the most effectiveness and professionalism. Pace was the big winner, though, taking first in Arbitration and winning the overall Championship.

Congratulations to all the teams that competed. Next year’s competition will be held on October 13-14, 2012. We look forward to seeing you there.
