The Arbitration Competition is open to all Georgetown Law students, with the exception of 1Ls and 1Es. Participants will compete in an arbitration-style format, with the final round to be judged by arbitrators from the Washington DC area. The top 5-8 competitors (depending on the needs of Barristers' Council) will qualify for membership in the ADR Division of Barristers' Council, and will have the opportunity to compete in at least one arbitration competition during their time on the team. Qualifiers are also eligible to compete in Negotiation or Mediation-style interschool competitions as part of the ADR Division. Questions about the competition may be directed to Mike Crenshaw, Director of the Arbitration Competition, at michaelkcrenshaw@gmail.com, or to Victor Liang, Director of the ADR Division, at victorsliang@gmail.com.
