 OVERVIEW 01
The National Law Institute University, Bhopal is one of the premier legal institutions in India
and has consistently been ranked among the top 5 National Law Universities in the country
since its inception in 1997.

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Cell, established in 2007 is the oldest ADR Committee in
Asia, and has been hosting Asia's oldest as well as India's largest Mediation Tournament, 'The
NLIU INADR International Mediation Tournament', since 2012. The last eleven editions of the
Annual Mediation Tournament have been extremely successful owing to the exodus of
participation every year from Universities from the United States, Australia, Singapore, and
parts of Europe, other than all the National Law Universities and premier private law schools of
the country as well as, proficient judging by Chicago based mediators, our affiliation with The
InterNational Academy of Dispute Resolution (INADR) and esteemed organisations such as
yours. This year, the ADRC looks forward to hosting the twelfth edition of its Annual
Mediation Tournament from 22nd March to 24th March, 2024 which will see participation of
law students from across the globe.

The Tournament shall involve 3 participants from each participating team, viz. the Client, the
Counsel and Mediator. The Tournament shall span over three preliminary rounds, with each
participant playing all the three roles at least once, following which the teams shall qualify into
two Advanced Rounds, the Semi Finals and the Finals.

NLIU ADRC works with a team consisting of over 60 members. The media team in particular
can be of great benefit to the London School of Mediation (LSM). Our social media presence is
spread out over various platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube etc. These
platforms, especially during the months of the tournament, garner the attention of thousands of
avid followers and others via posts and stories that are constantly updated. Our collaborative
partners will be given a dedicated post, thereby attracting a plethora of students towards using
the courses London School of Mediation has to offer as an additional educational platform. The
London School of Mediation logo will be present on all tournament related material which will
further aid the reach of the platform among students from legal institutions all over the world.
A letter of Intent/Appreciation will be given to the London School of Mediation upon its
collaboration with NLIU ADRC.
