DIVERSE STUDENT ADR SUMMIT:
ROADMAP TO A CAREER IN ADR
November 9-10, 2024

THE DIVERSE STUDENT ADR SUMMIT: As part of our ongoing commitment, the AAA is hosting an ADR Summit for law students to provide an in-depth understanding of what it really takes to become a successful arbitrator and/or mediator.

Presenters will include experienced ADR professionals, litigators, and in-house counsel from various backgrounds who will outline a successful career path as an arbitrator or mediator and discuss how to avoid potential pitfalls along the way. Attendees will learn the importance of focusing on a specific industry, networking, connecting with mentors, gaining relevant experience, and building a good reputation in the field.

The program is open to 2nd and 3rd-year law students who identify as members of groups historically underrepresented in the ADR field.
