From Richard Lord:
The American College of Civil Trial Mediators announces its 2022 American Journal of Mediation National Dispute Resolution Writing Competition. There is a $5,000 first prize and a $2,000 second prize.
Subject matter focus for entries can embrace the full range of the alternative dispute resolution field – consensus-based dispute resolution (e.g., negotiation, mediation), adjudicative processes (e.g., early neutral evaluation, binding or non-binding arbitration and private judging), or mixed processes (e.g., arb-med, med-arb, high low arbitration, baseball arbitration). Papers can also focus on ADR process design, practice techniques, specific case studies, related legislation, and ethical dilemmas and standards for dispute resolution professionals.
The competition is open to all North American JD and LLM law students enrolled as of December 15, 2021. Entries are due no later than June 15, 2022.
