Students and young professionals today have far greater access to learning in ADR, yet they seldom get to hear first-hand how a career in the field actually takes shape. Through #YoungGADRCareerTalks, we bring together professionals from institutions, academia and practice to share how they began, the choices that shaped their paths, and practical guidance for those starting out. The webinar is meant for students, young practitioners, young ADR members and anyone who wants to start a career in ADR.

𝐀 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨. India’s ADR community has been built by many people and institutions. Judges who championed mediation and arbitration from the bench. Practitioners who showed, case after case, what effective dispute resolution looks like. Institutions that gave the field its structure and credibility. Teachers who trained generations of students to think differently about conflict. 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? Arbitration is widely used to resolve commercial disputes. But what do the people who actually use it think? 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟭 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟬 in-house counsel in a recent survey said they would use arbitration for all their disputes. Most would use it only for some disputes, and their reasons are worth reading closely. Among in-house counsel who would use arbitration selectively, the biggest concerns were: 𝟳𝟯%: high and unpredictable costs 𝟲𝟬%: long and uncertain duration 𝟱𝟰%: lack of arbitrator accountability Cost. Time. Accountability. These are not concerns about anything outside the process. They are about how arbitration itself works for the people using it. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼.
