Who can apply?

Announcement of finalists

Please note that application for 2013 has closed.

The Competition is open to university students from law schools and business schools.

Only one team per university is admitted to participate in the Competition.

A team must consist of at least two and a maximum of four students. In each mediation session two team members actively compete against two team members from another team.

The role of the Counsel must be taken by a law student, whereas the role of the Client can be played by a business school student. Accordingly, at least one student in each team needs to be a law student.

Additionally, each team can be accompanied by one coach (for example, a professor). No additional team members (students or coaches) will be admitted as participants.

Please note that pursuant to the Competition Rules, students who have already participated in the ICC Mediation Competition are prohibited to compete again.

Please make sure you have carefully read and understood the exact eligibility criteria according to the Rules prior to applying for the Competition.

Costs

Competition Rules

The registration fee per Team is calculated with reference to the number of students participating in the Team. Teams composed of two students contribute € 500, composed of three students € 650 and Teams composed of four students € 800. The Coach joins the Team without additional charges.

Full payment of the registration fee prior to arrival at the Competition is mandatory. Teams which do not proceed with the payment of the registration fee will not be admitted to the Competition.

ICC is regrettably not in a position to cover costs for travel and hotel accommodation. Therefore each team is responsible for its own expenses.
