Principia School Annual Mediation Tournament π
On November 15-16, 2024, Principia School held its 5th Annual National High School Mediation Tournament. This tournament provides students with a hands-on understanding of mediation and the role it plays in the practice of law and in everyday life. Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, participants practiced their mediation skills in friendly competition. Over three preliminary rounds and one final round, students performed the role of mediator, advocate, and client at least once each. The tournament format was designed by the International Academy of Dispute Resolution (INADR.org). Shout out to our own Kristin Watt for organizing this local event.
