Hi all, Me again. I just sent a note to emphasize the new component of the online law student completions (volunteer evaluators are needed) which will be plain old fashioned litigation albeit online. The competitions will take place early in 2005 not 2004 as I, just a moment ago, mistakenly typed. Thanks, John John DeBruyn, Denver CO USA -----Original Message----- From: John DeBruyn [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 4:38 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [NetLawyers] ICODR 2005 Announcement Hi all, The international inter-collegiate law student competitions in online arbitration, mediation, and negotiation will take place early in 2004 with a new track: litigation. this year, plain old fashioned court-centered litigation but with a twist as the teams, plaintiff and defendant, will interact with a third student team taking on the role of court/judge. If you are interested in participating as an evaluator please email Ben (Professor Ben Davis) at [email protected] and you might CC me so that I can stay of top of the interest shown here in Network-Lawyers for online dispute resolution and support of the student competitions. There is more stuff on the 2005 completions at: http://www.odr.info/icodr2005.php The links in the announcement, appended way down below, washed out. But the announcement is still useful. A good summary of the several programs involved. Please let Ben, Alan Gaintenby [email protected], or myself, [email protected] know if you have a place where a poster could be posted to promote this undertaking to law students and/or faculty.

To participate, law students need only have 1) access to the internet through a browser and 2) permission of a faculty member. The competitions are free of charge. This year we will again have online negotiation, mediation, and arbitration competitions. As a new development we will also hold a prototype online litigation competition. ICODR Registration (schools and evaluators) ICODR 2005 Negotiation Competition Rules and Schedule ICODR 2005 Mediation Competition Rules and Schedule ICODR 2005 Arbitration Competition Rules and Schedule ICODR 2005 Prototype Litigation Competition Rules and Schedule The Process: Over the past three years we have held online negotiation, mediation, and arbitration competitions between teams from law schools around the world. Law students have opportunities to role play as advocates for claimants and respondents as well as neutrals in each of the competitions. Hypothetical cases used have been designed by law professors or been provided by the Harvard Program on Negotiation. Distinguished professionals from around the world have participated as evaluators. Through ICODR 2004 ten technologies have been graciously provided free of charge including Online Resolution, West Workspace/Erooms Technology, Squaretrade.com, and several in the eNegotiation group (SimpleNS, MeetingOne, WebNS, The Negotiating Room, and Negoisst, Inspire, Family_Winner, and SmartSettle). The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, the International Chamber of Commerce International Court of Arbitration, the Arbitration and Mediation Centre of the World Intellectual Property Organization, the London Court of International Arbitration, the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague, and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association have permitted us over the past years to make reference to them when students are appointed neutrals in the arbitration competition - to help the realism of the experience. To participate law students express interest through faculty members (i.e. coaches), in each competition team(s) are assigned roles and given hypotheticals to prepare, and then the students participate anonymously by accessing a platform in cyberspace for conducting conflict management. Student roles in 2005 will be as advocate for their client in the negotiation competition, as advocate for their client or as mediator in the mediation competition, as advocate for their client or arbitrator in the arbitration competition, and as advocate for their client or judge in the prototype litigation competition. Evaluators have access to the rooms in which the students are acting and can read what the students submit to evaluate the effectiveness of each student team. The most effective teams in each role in each competition are recognized. Schedules and other information: Hypotheticals are scheduled to be handed out in early January 2005. The Online Negotiation competition will be held in two rounds in February and March 2005. Round 1 (February 20-27), Round 2(March 2- 5), Results posted April 15. The Online Mediation competition will be held in two rounds in February 2005. Round 1 (February 6-13), Round 2(February 16-20), Results posted April 15. The Online Arbitration competition will be held in one round over two months in February and March 2005. Round: February 1 - March 31, Results posted May 15. Advocates will participate as Claimant in one room and Respondent in another room. To the extent possible student arbitrators will serve in two rooms and - depending on numbers - in arbitral tribunals of 3 members. The prototype Online Litigation competition will be held over two months in February through April 2005. Round: February 15 - April 15, Results posted May 15. Advocates will participate as Plaintiff/Claimant in one room and Defendant/Respondent in another room. To the extent possible student judges will serve in two rooms.
