online dispute resolution

Dear Colleagues,

I want to draw your attention to the possibility to observe from the 
ease of your computer the online dispute resolution international 
moot court competitions in mediation and arbitration in which law 
students around the world are competing as neutrals or advocates.

In this third International Competition for Online Dispute Resolution 
(ICODR 2004), students are being evaluated by professionals coming 
from around the world.

For access to the arbitration rooms (arbitration running from 
February 6 through March 31) or mediation rooms (mediation round 1 
running from February 23-30 and Round 2 from March 3-7), please go to 
https://www.westworkspace.com/ICODR2003 and type in username: 
observer2004 and password: observer2004.  If prompted, select browser 
only.

The online arbitration and mediation competitions are being run on 
the West Workspace Erooms Technology platform.  The Hong Kong 
International Arbitration Centre, the International Chamber of 
Commerce International Court of Arbitration, the London Court of 
International Arbitration, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the 
Hague, and the Arbitration and Mediation Centre of the World 
Intellectual Property Organization are allowing the appointment of 
the student neutrals to be done in their names.  The competition is 
being conducted under the UNCITRAL Rules of Arbitration.

The Harvard Program on Negotiation has kindly provided problems for 
the mediation competition.

In addition there are online negotiation competitions for law 
students and an open competition.  Seven different technologies are 
available in that area see 
(http://www.enegotiation.org/2004/training.html).

For further information, please go to the ICODR 2004 portal at

The ICODR 2004 competitions are sponsored by Center for Information 
Technology and Dispute Resolution of the University of Massachusetts, 
Hamline University School of Law, and the University of Toledo 
College of Law.
