The competition aims at providing an opportunity to law students of select top universities across the globe to practice and improve their negotiation skills. It provides a platform for students to compete in a truly diverse and an international environment. The competition is carefully structured to simulate legal negotiations particularly for those students who aspire to be international lawyers.

Students participating in the competition will assume the roles of international lawyers in negotiating a series of legal problems. The problems will be based on real life examples and will comprise a common set of facts known to all participants and confidential information known only to the participants representing a particular side.

Each team will consist of two students, who must be enrolled in a full time degree (undergraduate or postgraduate) as at September 1 2016. Only one team per university will be allowed. The competition will begin 15 June 2016 (release of the problem), with the finals being 11 September 2016 and held in Delhi, India.

The competition aims at providing an opportunity to law students of select top universities across the globe to practice and improve their negotiation skills.

The problems will be based on real life examples and will comprise a common set of facts known to all participants and confidential information known only to the participants representing a particular side.

The CU LGBTI program, the LGBTI Alliance, is the mechanism through which the firm seeks to ensure that it has a culture of inclusion.

Domestic violence features heavily in the media every week, with at least 1 in 3 women across the world facing domestic violence in their lifetime.

The LSS has organised an informative seminar to educate you of these matters.

Time: 1.00pm

Location: E6, 23 College Walk (Building 60 – Engineering), Monash Clayton Campus

Proposed reforms to the law intend to make it unlawful to share, or threaten to share, private sexual material.

Our speakers will discuss such reforms and invite you to consider legal amendments.

Date: Wednesday 6 April 2016

Time: 5.30pm registration for a 6.00pm start
