Bilingual Dispute Resolution Competition

The Bilingual Dispute Resolution Competition is a first-of-its-kind negotiation competition where student

negotiators compete in English in the first preliminary round and in Spanish in the second preliminary round. In the

final round, one team member competes in English, and the other team member competes in Spanish; that is also a

requirement for the opposing team. This competition is currently in its pilot phase, and the first competition fielded

teams from the Law Center, Universidad La Salle (Mexico City) and Universidad Anáhuac México (Mexico City).
