Law School - Fourth Annual Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon

October 14, 2012 8:00 AM
St. John's University | Manhattan Campus

The Hugh L. Carey Center for Dispute Resolution and the
Dispute Resolution Society are pleased to host the:

Fourth Annual Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon

The Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon is a joint initiative of theCarey Center and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). For two days, student teams from law schools around the country meet to test their advocacy skills in the negotiation, mediation and arbitration of a securities dispute.

The Triathlon is not a competition of physical endurance, but of dispute resolution competence. Students play the roles of attorneys and clients, with some teams in the role of investor and others in the role of broker-dealer. Members of FINRA’s roster of experienced neutrals serve as mediators, arbitrators and judges, critiquing the student teams and offering the students an invaluable real-life experience. By challenging students to negotiate, mediate, and arbitrate in a single competition, this one-of-a-kind event gives students an opportunity to hone their advocacy skills in a realistic and comprehensive securities dispute experience.
