Are you looking to further your career in arbitration and mediation but don’t know where to start? This online certificate course by Lawctopus could be the perfect place to start.
Why this Course on ADR
Here’s what Akanksha Mishra, Head of Lawctopus Law School, who was closely involved in developing this course, has to say:
When I was in law school, I was very passionate about arbitration and mediation, and I wanted to build my career in this field. However, upon entering the practical field, I realized that my basic knowledge of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act and mediation principles was not enough for me to understand the procedures before tribunals and courts.
In fact, I did not know anything about the essential documents involved in these proceedings, and I struggled a lot in my career.
At this point, I realized that possessing a foundational and practical understanding of arbitration and mediation procedures, as well as drafts, is crucial before entering the real world.
Hence, to spare you from undergoing similar challenges and significantly expedite your career advancement, Lawctopus Law School has designed a comprehensive course on ‘Alternative Dispute Resolution: Arbitration and Mediation’.
The course covers all arbitration procedures and delves into the intricate details of drafting essential documents such as Statements of Claim, Statements of Defence, Awards, Applications for interim relief, Applications for the appointment of arbitrators, Applications for setting aside arbitral awards, Mediation Agreements, etc.
I urge you not to miss this invaluable opportunity to gain practical insights before embarking on internships or entering the job market.Hurry up and register!

On June 18, 2024, the National Testing Agency (NTA) held the UGC-NET June 2024 Examination in OMR (pen and paper) mode across various cities in India in two shifts.
The next day, on June 19, 2024, the University Grants Commission (UGC) received information from the National Cyber Crime Threat Analytics Unit of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs. This information suggested potential integrity issues with the examination.
In response, the Ministry of Education, Government of India, has decided to cancel the UGC-NET June 2024 Examination to uphold the highest standards of transparency and integrity. A new examination will be scheduled, with details to be provided later. Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will thoroughly investigate the matter.
Candidates affected by this cancellation are advised to stay updated through official announcements from the NTA and UGC regarding the new examination dates and further instructions. The authorities are committed to ensuring a fair and transparent process for all examinees.
