Details of the Organization

Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL), Punjab, was established by the State Legislature of Punjab by passing the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab Act, 2006 (Punjab Act No. 12 of 2006). The Act incorporated a University of Law of national stature in the State of Punjab with the key objective of evolving and imparting comprehensive legal education, including distance and continuing legal education at all levels, to achieve excellence.

The institution’s endeavour is to serve society through reforms in legal services by way of preparing professionally competent lawyers, inquisitive researchers, able administrators, conscientious judicial officers, and above all, socially responsible citizens, who shall be whole-heartedly and continuously engaged in the process of nation-building.

Details of the MUN/Debate/Competition

To further its avowed aim, CADR has been organising the RGNUL Sports and Entertainment Law Mediation Competition (SEMC) since 2019 and the RGNUL National Negotiation Competition since 2021. The NegComp is one of India's premier competitions in the field of negotiation, pitting the best budding ADR enthusiasts against one another. Despite the turbulent times brought by COVID-19, the novel edition of the competition was organised in 2021, however, in a virtual setup. The second and third editions of the competition were organised at the lushful campus of RGNUL, which saw the participation of more than twenty-four (24) universities from all across India. Being one of the two flagship competitions organised by CADR, we have been blessed with some of the best organisations in the industry ranging from the Singapore International Mediation Institute (SIMI), the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, Pepperdine School of Law, Mediator Network to the Centre for Advanced Mediation Practice (CAMP), Justice Kuldip Prakash Bhandari Foundation, Chandigarh, Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution Team (PACT), Krida Legal and Markanda Advocates as our past collaborators.

The 4th NegComp will be held in online mode. There shall be multiple preliminary rounds followed by quarter-final rounds, semi-final rounds, and the final round. Universities interested in sending more than 1 team are requested to express their intention by reaching out to the undersigned. The allocation of the second slot is contingent on the availability of the total number of slots available with the Centre. It should be noted that the allocation of slots to any university will be a decision made solely by CADR-RGNUL, and shall be final and binding. The two-member Negotiating Team will comprise a client and a counsel who will mandatorily have to play both roles during preliminary rounds.

Eligibility

Any student enrolled in Undergraduate Law degree programme in any University recognised by the Bar Council of India as on 1st January 2024, is eligible to participate. Each participating team shall consist of a Negotiating Pair (i.e., a client and a counsel). The composition of the team will not be permitted to change once the same has been entered and submitted through the final registration form unless approved by the Organising Committee.
