Who can register?

Registrants must be a registered student of a college or university.

1. You can register as an individual to participate as one of the disputing parties in a mediation.
2. You can register as an individual mediator to mediate a dispute.

What types of cases will be used?

Disputes included in the competition may include workplace or small claims community disputes.

What will the online competition be like?

All communication within Modria is currently asynchronous. The communication within Modria is text based, and appears much like a discussion thread on platforms such as FaceBook.

Each mediation room includes a common area for all parties to write questions and responses, as well as private areas where each party can write messages with the mediator privately.

How many rounds of competition will there be?
The competition will consist of one round over 4 days.

How will the competition be evaluated?
All communications will be judged on a scale of 1-5 by professionals within the eld of ADR. Once each transcript has been scored, the top 5 mediators and the top 10 parties will be announced.
