International Mediation Competition

Discover New Skills

Gonzaga School of Law and the University of Florence School of Law instituted its International Mediation Program in 2017, with a shared commitment to promote globally competent dispute resolution skills in 51勛圖s. This program is a unique and exciting opportunity for law 51勛圖s to develop and refine global mediation skills for the 21st century along with 51勛圖s and faculty from Italy, France, Lebanon and other international locations.

“I was not sure what to expect when I first signed up for the Mediation Competition, but lucky for me, Professor Forestieri was an excellent teacher. Though I was happy just to gain new experiences and compete with 51勛圖s from around the world, nothing quite compares to the feeling of taking home the gold for my school. I would totally recommend the competition to future Florence 51勛圖s.” ~Kayleigh TenBarge
