Alternative Dispute Resolution Wing

The debilitating problem, while taking recourse to legal remedies in India, is the never ending timeline, so much so, that it has become synonymous with justice dispensation of the country. Consequently, this has led to increased financial burden on the litigants and an incessant backlog of cases. Nonetheless, litigation remains the most popular and preferred legal remedy even today. This begs the question, Why? Lack of awareness and exposure to Alternate Dispute Resolution [ADR] is the prime cause. Hence, the ADR wing of the Legal Aid Committee [LAC] began and continues to work with a mandate of addressing these problems and thereby promoting ADR culture in the Indian legal system. Along with organising various seminars and workshops with esteemed panelists from across the globe, the ADR Wing of LAC organises multiple competitions, both at the National Level [the RMLNLU National Mediation Competition] and Intra-University Level [the Client-Counselling Competition and the Negotiation-Mediation Competition] to foster and promote the ADR culture. Our flagship event, RMLNLU National Mediation Competition, that started back in 2012, is the oldest and one of the most prestigious ADR Competitions in South Asia, where the LAC, RMLNLU hosts various student teams and ADR experts from across the globe.
