Advocate Maximus: Ratan K. Singh Arbitration-Mediation Competition’Advocate Maximus’ by The PACT [Dec 7-10, Delhi]: Registrations Open
The PACT conceptualized Advocate Maximus to promote the understanding of different kinds of dispute resolution scenarios that involve the interplay between arbitration and mediation, with simultaneous and sequential use of mediation and arbitration.
The competition model first starts with an arbitration session based on the Moot Problem. Arbitration counsels from each team argue the case, which may consist of issues relating to procedure, jurisdiction, and substance.
After the arbitration session, the same arbitration counsels change hats and become mediation counsels (or other members of the team come in as mediation counsels) to mediate the same Moot Problem. In every mediation session (i.e., preliminary rounds, followed by the advanced rounds), the mediation counsels deal with a new set of confidential information that the counsels receive after the arbitration session is over.
