Who can apply?
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 will be 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.
ICC will accept around 66 universities to participate in the 2013 Competition.
Universities can apply online from 23 July to 21 October 2012. To account for different school schedules around the world, there will be two application periods.
The first application period will run from 23 July 2012 until 24 August 2012.
The second application period will run from 3 September 2012 until 21 October 2012.
During each application period, the Organizing Committee will accept a maximum of 33 universities. In each application period 15 places are reserved for universities that have not yet participated in the Competition and 18 places are reserved for universities who have previously participated in the event. Should places for one category not be filled at the end of each application period, the remaining places will be offered to applicants from the other category. Universities that have not participated during the two last Competitions, will be considered as not having previously participated in the Competition.
We draw the applicants’ special attention to the Competition Rules. You must make sure your university meets all the requirements set by the 2013 Competition Rules before you apply. Please be mindful of the fact that by submitting an application to participate in the Competition you are indicating to the Organizing Committee that you read and understood the Competition Rules.
Costs
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.
