3rd RGNUL Sports & Entertainment Law Mediation Competition, 2021
ABOUT THE COMPETITION
​
The 3rd Edition of the Competition, held despite these turbulent times, is a testament to CADR’ s commitment to the objectives of the Mediation Competition. Though being unable to host professionals and students from across India physically, the Competition, which will be held virtually, will aim to provide to participants exposure to the challenges and methods which professionals have adopted during the Pandemic, and imbibe skills unto them which will enable them to mediate in a world which has been brought closer together and which is unburdened with physical boundaries.
The Competition seeks to make the process of Mediation more vibrant and attractive to the fraternity of law students across India. Sports and Entertainment Law has been selected for this competition as it is an appealing and ever-growing field which will allow for a multidimensional approach given the fact that the interests of clients are often multi-fold in these situations. The competition aims to provide a platform that reflects the ever-growing expectation of clients to utilize other cost-effective alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to trial and to showcase the multifarious fields that can be effectively dealt with via mediation.
