Dear Colleague:
Pace Law School, located at 78 North Broadway, White Plains, NY, will host an ABA Law Student Division Regional Arbitration Competition on November 16-17, 2013. We would like to invite you to participate as an arbitrator judge for the competition, which simulates a realistic arbitration hearing. The Competition will be held at the Law School.
This competition provides law students with legal training in arbitration and promotes excellence in arbitration advocacy. Participating students prepare and present an arbitration case and are involved in opening statements, witness examinations, exhibit introductions, evidentiary presentations, and summations. Last year's arbitration judges told the competition organizers that they really enjoyed working with the students. They appreciated the opportunity to give back to the profession. We offer CLE credits for those who qualify. One of the most valuable components of this great learning opportunity for students is receiving feedback from practicing bar members and arbitrators.
The rounds will be held Saturday and Sunday, November 16th and 17th.
Round 1 – Saturday, November 16th (8:30 am to 12:00 pm)
Round 2 – Saturday, November 16th (1:30 pm to 5:00 pm)
Semifinal Round –Sunday, November 17th (8:30 am to 12:00 pm)
Final Round – Sunday, November 17th (1:30 pm to 5:00 pm)
If you are willing to serve as a judge, please provide your information on the attached form.. If you have any colleagues who may be interested in participating as volunteer judges, please forward this message to them and ask them to complete the form.
We will provide the case file and competition rules to you a couple of weeks prior to the competition. Reviewing these materials is the only preparation required of you.
Please contact me or my assistant, Loretta Musial, directly at 914-422-4227 or lmusial@law.pace.edu or lfasulo@law.pace.edu if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Louis Fasulo
