Competition Dates: 23 July 2023 - 30 July 2023
Mediate Wise - Hosted at Universidade de Lisboa
· The Mediate Wise International Mediation Competition (“The MWMC” or “the Competition”) is an annual competition of teams representing law schools throughout the world. Up to twenty-four teams may compete in the MWMC.
· The language of The MWMC is English.
· The MWMC is intended to create and foster an environment for students to learn and develop their skills in mediation and to appreciate how to use them both as counsel and as mediator.
· The MWMC is a multi-faceted educational programme including both instruction and a competition through which students can demonstrate their mastery of the various skills used in mediation.
· The MWMC is organized by Mediate Wise. It will be held at the Universidade de Lisboa, in Lisbon, Portugal.
Eligibility to Participate in The MWMC
Teams may be made up of student participants from
universities, law schools, law firms, Inns of Court or barristers’
chambers. Each participating
organisation may enter only one team.
All members of a team must be registered at the same school, law firm or
chambers. No participant who is or has
been licensed to practice law is eligible to participate except with the
express permission of a Director of MWMC.
Participants who are students at bar preparation institutions who are
simultaneously working in a law office must request an individual determination
as to their eligibility to participate in the competition. No participant who has accreditation as a
mediator may compete. If there is any
doubt as to what might constitute “accreditation as a mediator” then the
participant must request a determination as to their eligibility to participate
in the competition. Eligibility in all
cases is determined as of 9th May 2023.
Structure of The MWMC
The Competition consists of three tiers: first, a training
course amounting to the equivalent of two days; second, the Counsel competition
(four days), and third, the Mediator competition (three days), both running
concurrently. Each team must participate
in all three tiers and compete for both awards, one as Best Mediation Counsel
Team and one as Best Mediator. In all
sessions, students take turns being evaluated and playing the roles of the
disputing parties.
