Capturing Moments: Highlights from the 2nd International Mediation Competition 2022
Hon'ble Mr. Justice Devan Ramachandran
Judge, High Court of Kerala
“The best thing about ADR is that there is a direct client to client interaction and, hence there is no bitterness with any solution that you finally enter. Nevertheless, despite how fair and reasonable a judge might feel, every judgment leaves in more than one case a sense of bitterness that causes them to appeal and probably appeal an additional time. IMC-V-2021 has also been an eye-opener because, among judges, there was a doubt as to whether the High Court could implement its Mediation program in an online mode. You told me today that it’s possible. So, even if we have adversities like covid, it cannot bog us down, and we can still have mediation sessions. I will take the initiative of telling my chief justice that we can still go on with the mediation at the High Court and district courts in an online mode.“
-Hon’ble Mr. Justice Devan Ramachandran during his Valedictory Address at IMC-V-2021
Prof. (Dr.) Bryan Clark
Patron International Mediation Competition (IMC-V-2023
“I was delighted to be involved in the first and second editions of the International Mediation Competition organised by Lex Erudites. It was a fantastic event supported by an eminent group of international judges drawn from academia, the legal and mediation profession and judiciary and involved a large number of Indian-based and international teams. There was some great mediation and negotiation activity on show from the student competitors. Mediation competitions are an excellent way to learn more about negotiation and dispute resolution, a chance to gain from the experience of international judges and meet peers from different jurisdictions and most of all are fun! I would urge all law students to think about getting involved in the upcoming 3rd edition of this competition in November.“
