Representation in Mediation Team

1 unit

Enrollment limit: 10. Students do not enroll themselves for this class. Tryouts are in November - December and the teams are selected by January 1. Students try out individually and the composite team is selected by the coaches. Team members prepare three fact patterns for mediation. Each team member will play the role of client and attorney. For credit, each student must submit 16 pages of research and analysis on the competition topics and process. Teams meet with coaches on a weekly basis from the start of the spring semester, with intense coaching and mooting sessions in January and February. The Regional Competition is usually held in late February or early March. If WULAW teams are successful at the Regional Competition, they will compete in the late Spring (usually mid-April) at the National Competition held in concert with the ABA- Alternative Dispute Resolution Annual Conference. (1 credit is posted to the spring semester). 1 unit
