SKMMIMNC 6.0 (International Mediation and Negotiation Competition)

I participated as a mediator in the 6th edition of SKMMIMNC (Sir K.M. Munshi International Mediation and Negotiation Competition) hosted by Lloyd Law College, India. This prestigious international competition brings together law students from across the globe to apply alternative dispute resolution principles in simulated scenarios.

Competition Structure:

The competition consisted of several rounds of simulated mediation sessions where participants rotated through roles of mediators, attorneys, and clients. As a mediator, my role was to facilitate productive communication between parties and guide them toward mutually beneficial resolutions.

Key Skills Applied:

• Active listening and effective questioning techniques
• Conflict de-escalation and emotion management
• Interest-based negotiation facilitation
• Creative problem-solving and option generation
• Mediation process management and ethical considerations

Value of Experience:

Participating in SKMMIMNC 6.0 provided invaluable practical experience in mediation techniques and alternative dispute resolution processes. Working through complex, realistic scenarios helped develop skills that are directly applicable to legal practice and dispute resolution in professional settings.
