NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, is delighted to announce the Fox & Mandal—NALSAR Mediation Tournament 5.0<\/span>, scheduled to be held from 6th February 2026 to 8th February 2026<\/span> at the NALSAR campus. Organised in collaboration with Fox & Mandal, one of India’s oldest and most respected full-service law firms (est. 1896), the tournament reflects NALSAR’s continued commitment to fostering excellence in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).<\/p>\n

Over the years, the Fox & Mandal—NALSAR Mediation Tournament has evolved into a premier ADR event, drawing participation from leading national and international law schools. Known for its thoughtfully designed structure, emphasis on real-time conflict resolution, and dynamic judging panels, the tournament encourages participants to engage deeply with strategy, communication, negotiation, and the principles underlying effective mediation. It serves as a platform that not only enhances technical proficiency but also cultivates collaborative problem-solving and emotional intelligence — indispensable skills for future legal professionals.<\/p>\n

This year’s edition features a Strategy Paper Qualifier Round, followed by three Preliminary Rounds, Semi-Finals, and the Final Round on campus. Participants will also attend a Training Session and Panel Discussion, underscoring the event’s academic and professional depth. Accommodation, meals, and the NALSAR Social Night are included in the on-campus experience, reinforcing the tournament’s vision of creating an engaging, inclusive, and enriching environment for all ADR enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
