Securities Dispute Resolution: Negotiation, Mediation and Arbitration

The Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon is a joint initiative of St. John's University's Center for Dispute Resolution and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). For two days, student teams from law schools around the country meet to test their advocacy skills in the negotiation, mediation and arbitration of a securities dispute.

Students play the roles of attorneys and clients, with some teams in the role of investor and others in the role of broker-dealer. Members of FINRA’s roster of experienced neutrals serve as mediators, arbitrators and judges, critiquing the student teams. Teams are composed of three students, and the competition takes place over two days.
