About The Organization

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee (ADRC) was constituted to promote interest in ADR methodologies given its relevance to the legal profession. The committee was established in 2018 as an initiative to provide a platform for ADR enthusiasts from across the world to interact with the NMIMS student body to facilitate knowledge and growth in this emerging field.

About The Opportunity

The NMIMS 4th Annual Mediation Competition 2025, Navi Mumbai is tentatively set to take place on 16^th March (online rounds) and 5^th April (offline rounds) in a hybrid mode. We are very enthusiastic to announce the competition since we received a great response from the students for our previous editions that took place with students from private and government law schools across the country. This event will provide the students with an opportunity to experience, learn, and put their knowledge to practice in a healthy competition and environment with consistent guidance and support from the committee. Since the inception of this committee, we have been moving forward with our goal to foster the development of ADR among the students.

The structure of the competition spans across 2-3 days commencing with inaugurals, workshops, preliminary rounds, quarter-finals, semifinals, and the finals followed by the valedictory ceremony. The students are met with various propositions and confidential information before the rounds for them to mitigate and construct well thought strategies. Such propositions are drafted by recognized advocates and firms.
