AAA’s Diverse Student ADR Summit

Posting at the request of Tracy Frisch, Division VP, AAA

A career in ADR can take many paths, and hearing directly from professionals working across the field can help law students better understand the opportunities available to them.

The 2026 Diverse Student ADR Summit is designed to provide law students with a roadmap for exploring pathways to a successful career in ADR. Through conversations with experienced arbitrators, mediators, litigators, in-house counsel, and other ADR professionals, students will hear firsthand about their career journeys, experiences, and perspectives on the field.

Help us connect law students with the Summit by sharing the program flyer with students in your network and encouraging them to apply by October 5. Please feel free to forward or post the flyer through your law school, organization, or professional networks.

For additional information about the program and application process, please refer to the FAQ. Questions may also be directed to AAAStudentADRSummit@adr.org.

Thank you for helping us spread the word.

Kind regards,

Ingeuneal Gray
AAA Vice President of Inclusion and Engagement
