Mediation Team Wins Title in World TournamentAn undergraduate student mediation team from The University of Texas at Dallas recently won an international title and is preparing for a competition against law school students from around the world. The three-student team won the advocate-client division of the International Intercollegiate Mediation Tournament held virtually in the fall. Tony Seagroves, a local attorney who serves as coach of the UT Dallas mediation and mock trial teams, said the key for success in a mediation tournament is to be open minded and willing to negotiate in good faith. “Ultimately, they should become better speakers and listeners, while developing the ability to see things from both sides.”The performance earned the team a spot in the International Law School Mediation Tournament, which will be held virtually March 2-5. Although the UT Dallas team will be one of only two non-law-school teams at the competition, Siddiqui said she is excited to participate.
