Glasgow law students succeed at International Mediation Competition in Brazil
Three diploma students from the University of Glasgow – Flora Henry, Shaun Sweeney and Aidan Wallace – took part in the International Mediation Competition run by the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR) in São Paulo, Brazil from 11 to 13 April.
Shaun and Aidan played counsel and client respectively and won the top negotiation prize, following a live-streamed final round. Aidan also won third place for Best Client, while Flora placed among the top four mediators.
Pepperdine University’s Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution awarded partial tuition scholarships to Shaun and Aidan, while the Institute for Certification and Training of Lusophone Mediators (ICFML) gave full tuition scholarships to its 2024 International Negotiation and Mediation (English-speaking) summer program to all three students.
