Dispute Resolution Surges Forward at Marquette
As reported by the university yesterday, I am delighted to announce that the Dispute Resolution Program at Marquette continues to receive national acclaim. With over ten years of dispute resolution programming and curricula at the Law School, we continue to grow by leaps and bounds. In any given year, we have close to 150 students in our various dispute resolution classes and clinics. Two years ago, we created the Client Skills Board, a board mirroring the traditional Moot Court Board, that oversees law student participation in the non-moot-court competitions, including the ABA Client Counseling Competition, ABA Negotiation Competition, ABA Representation in Mediation Competition, and the invitational ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition held in Paris. Marquette students can now participate in two different intramurals (in negotiation and in mediation advocacy) to be selected for one of the two teams representing the Law School at the regional ABA competitions. In addition to our past history of winning teams in mediation competitions, in the last two years we won the regional competitions in the ABA Client Counseling Competition.
