Campus Community Invited to Law School's Negotiations Competition
The 2022 Negotiations Competition will take place on April 8.
The U of A School of Law and the Board of Advocates will host the final round of the 2022 Negotiations Competition at 9 a.m. in the E.J. Ball Courtroom on April 8.
The campus community is invited to attend the event in-person or view it online.
A total of 18 teams and many solo competitors participated in the intra-school competition, and the final two teams will compete in the final round.
The students will advocate for their mock clients during negotiations for the creation of a business contract. They will be judged by the Hon. Shawn Womack (J.D. '96), Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court; the Hon. Cindy Thyer (J.D. '95), Circuit Judge for Fourth Division of the 2nd Judicial District; and Dequeshia Prude, managing partner at Prude Legacy Law Group.
About the School of Law: The law school offers a competitive J.D. as well as an advanced LL.M. program, which are taught by nationally recognized faculty. The school offers unique opportunities for students to participate in pro bono work, externships, live client clinics, competitions, and food and agriculture initiatives. The school strives to identify, discuss, and challenge issues of race, color, ethnicity, and the impact(s) they have on students, faculty, and staff members in an effort to achieve a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community. From admitting the Six Pioneers who were the first African American students to attend law school in the South without a court order to graduating governors, judges, prosecutors, and faculty who went on to become President of the United States and Secretary of State, the law school has a rich history and culture.
