We are delighted to announce that our founder Ms. Ananya Agrawal has been shortlisted to speak at the Justice X ceremony of the Indian Mediation Week 2020.

Indian Mediation Week is a pan-India mediation awareness campaign run by SAMA. SAMA aims to provide a platform for law students to present innovative solutions to challenges faced in the dispute resolution space of India. The 2020 edition focuses on tackling burnout in the legal field in India. Ms. Ananya Agrawal (@nanyaa30) is proud to be identified as one of the participants who successfully presented their solutions to the problems faced in the dispute resolution sphere today. As part of the rigorous selection process, SAMA invited responses from law students to “pick a problem faced in dispute resolution in India and come up with an innovative solution to solve for the same”.
ECI’s response was drafted by Ananya Agarwal and (@sauby_007) Saurabh Gupta, two of our founding editors and core members.

The issues that ECI identified include a lack of professionalisation in mediation; lack of resources, information and access to ADR mechanisms; lack of inward innovation at the grassroots level; gap between the ADR-related skills required and those imparted through Indian legal education, amongst others.

We would like to thank SAMA for this eminent opportunity.

We feel privilege to have such resourceful personalities on board who have found opportunities to represent the country and the youth at large.
