Inter-Varsity Mooting
The International Commercial Mediation Competition, organised by the International Chamber of Commerce, is the University
of Bristol’s internal mediation competition, typically held between
the end of November and the beginning of December. This is a very
good opportunity to get involved with an emerging and promising
area of Alternative Dispute Resolution, not only in the commercial
world but also in an array of other areas.
The winning team from the internal competition will be given
the opportunity to represent the University of Bristol at the National
UK Mediation Skills Competition 2013, generally held in London in
mid-January.
The position of Mediation Co-ordinator is elected in October,
alongside the UBLC executive committee positions. An email calling
for applicants to compete in the internal competition will be sent out
to all UBLC members in early November. Applications will require a
CV and responses to a few questions regarding reasons for interest.
For more information, please contact Aristotle Glyky ([email protected]), Mediation Co-ordinator
of the UBLC 2012/13 or Dan Bishop ([email protected]),
President of the UBLC 2013/14.

Chambers (ESU) Mooting Competition, the Oxford University Press
(OUP) Mooting Competition, and the Inner Temple Inter-Varsity
Moot Competition. Competition is fierce given that most participants have already won or excelled in competitions hosted by their
own universities, but this makes the experience all the more exciting.
Whereas in the UBLC competition you are judged individually,
competitors in the national competitions are judged as a team. This
means that good teamwork is absolutely crucial to your success as
a national mooter. Inter-varsity mooting is admittedly a large time
commitment (moots can take anything from half a day to F
