Consider this a friendly reminder that the registration deadline for the ABA’s Representation in Mediation Competition is quickly arriving – January 31, 2009.  Entry forms are online and a list of regional host schools is accessible from the competition’s home page at http://www.abanet.org/dispute/mediationcomp.html.   Competition problems will be released the first week of February.  Additionally, for those who would like to see what the competition looks like, a new DVD available of last year’s regional final at Hastings College of Law is available for purchase as well.

As someone who has coached teams in this competition for years, I recommend participating to everyone.  The competition is both challenging and fun.
