Lloyd Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre (LADRC)
Lloyd Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre (LADRC)
I had learnt the true practice of law. I had learnt to find out the better side of human nature, and to enter men's hearts. I realized that the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties given as under. The lesson was so indelibly burnt unto me that the large part of my time, during the twenty years of my practice as a lawyer, was occupied in bringing about private compromises of hundreds of cases. I lost nothing, thereby not even money, certainly not my soul.
M.K. Gandhi
Disputes are an unavoidable part of any relationship or organisation. However, where there is dispute there must also be a mechanism for resolution of these disputes. Disputes can be resolved either through litigation i.e. in court of law or through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Mechanism.India is a litigating country where it becomes expensive, time consuming and full of complexities. On the other hand, ADR is a system whereby disputants resolve their disputes with minimum outside help.
Lloyd Law College has initiated to establish an ADR Centre (LADR), which shall be the student committee entrusted with the responsibility of administering ADR activities. This centre is coming up with the vision to develop and train students with another ways to access justice and enhance the knowledge and practical skills of ADR system and subjects related thereto. LADR will be functioned as an integral part of the institution. The function of LADR is envisioned at ensuring through teaching and training to provide assistance in removing the primary hurdle of getting internships with top Law Firms in India and abroad and participating in various national and international competitions.
The mandate of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Board encompasses the promotion and conduction of a wide array of dispute resolution mechanisms, relevant to today’s legal scenario. These include Arbitration, Mediation, Negotiation and Client Counselling. ADR as a real life career opportunity in India is challenging, being a relatively new field of legal dispute resolution. To kindle the gradually increasing interest among the Lloyadians and outside, this Centre will further conduct various programmes and competitions to spread awareness, incentivize and recognize talent in this nascent field.
In furtherance of our objective of facilitating a conductive environment for the advancement of interest amongst students, LADR will conduct College Selection Rounds for becoming members for LADR. However, the internal selection rounds determine students who would represent the LLC at various prestigious competitions. One of our major objectives is to promote ADR as a credible alternative in the legal system to traditional forms of litigation and its corollary simulation activities. Towards this end, we encourage current students to get acquainted with newer forms of dispute resolution, which are profoundly relevant and necessary, given today’s legal scenario. Workshops and orientations will be regularly organized for both incoming batches and external participants. Further training in ADR is imparted through the use of various seminar and credit courses on arbitration law and other similar areas.
