National Law University, Delhi (NLU Delhi) and Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) are pleased to invite you to the second edition of the NLU-HSF International Negotiation Competition (INC) to be held on 11-13 September 2015 in Delhi. The competition aims at providing an opportunity to law students of top universities across the globe to practice and improve their negotiation skills. The competition is carefully structured to simulate legal negotiations particularly for those students who aspire to be international lawyers. Students participating in the competition will assume the roles of international lawyers in negotiating a series of legal problems. The problems will be based on real life examples and will comprise a common set of facts known to all participants and confidential information known only to the participants representing a particular side. INC is an invitation only competition.
Structure of the competition: 25-30 teams from across the globe will participate in the competition. There will be two preliminary rounds. Four teams will advance to the semi-finals, which will be knock-out rounds. The final round will take place between the winners of the two semi-finals. Each round will consist of a 60 or 90 minute negotiation session, which may be extended at the discretion of the judges, to make it akin to a real life experience. Team composition: Each team will consist of two students. Eligible students: All students who are enrolled in a full-time law degree (undergraduate or post-graduate) as on 1 September 2015 will be eligible to participate. University representation: Only one team per University will be allowed to participate in the competition.
