Our objective is to encourage students to think out of the box and grow as Consensual Dispute Resolution enthusiasts. The competition we envision is significantly different from other essay competitions as it aims to be fun and inspiring for both the writers and the readers. Before you get to the rules, here’s a few things you should know:
** We are looking for inspiring entries that are fun to read, out of the box, unique and relatable.
** Anything from a personal anecdote to a short fiction story would work if it provides a fresh pair of eyes to the reader.
** We like you to be as creative, original and candid as possible.
** There are some things that annoy us – eg spelling errors and bad formatting/presentation.
** Plagiarism is a strict no-go.

What to write about?

Our theme is pretty broad, to leave you ultimate possible space for creativity:
“Negotiation skills for lawyers“

Some thoughts to get you inspired, but by no means exclusive:
What made you interested in negotiation? How do you think it can change the way we “lawyer”? How have you used it to become a better law student? What do you see our future look like? What is your negotiator superpower? How can it inspire other people? Or help them? Are we living in the past? Or is this the future? How should we define success as legal negotiators? Again, let your thoughts flow!
