Introduction
Mediation has evolved as one of the most popular form of dispute resolutions for the simple reasons that it does not see a dispute through the lens of an examiner but rather seeks to resolve it by inculcating a change in the parties to the dispute using the tool of positivity.
This simple yet least found element in any dispute resolution process makes the procedure of mediation so attractively familiar and easy for any party to adopt once the acceptability of the unconventional methodology adopted grows strong. Even though there have been various forms of ADR techniques that are present for resolving disputes but when one looks at the most popular model mediation is the winner and has some extra edges over the other most popular method of ADR i.e. arbitration.
In the words of Justice Bobde (CJI as he was then), compulsory pre-litigation mediation should be made compulsory so that it increases efficiency and reduces the pendency of cases thereby allowing justice for all.
These words are a strong resonance of the feeling and opinion of a vast section of the legal community who strongly believe that just as we have adopted various good practices of the west its now time that we also try to adopt their dispute resolution process and Indianise the same so that we get the best possible result and concept of true justice does not elude anybody.
In order to realise these dreams its equally important to have such trained people who can truly carry out the process in a knowledgeable and effective manner. Thus, when Justice Bobde (CJI as he was then) wrote a letter to the Bar Council of India in this matter, it decided to issue an instruction to all the Universities across India vide a letter whereby they were told to incorporate a compulsory practical course on Mediation and Conciliation in the legal curriculum.
This FDP is an effort to disseminate the nuances of Mediation by providing you hands-on training sessions and lectures on the various aspects of the subject which will be delivered by a number of legal luminaries and experts who are well known personalities in the area of Mediation Law and its practice.
