BPP beats the world

BPP won four out of five awards at the International Academy of Dispute Resolution competition held last month.  With 36 teams taking part at the annual event, including 23 from the US and six from the UK, BPP enjoyed the biggest success.

The teams had to compete against each other in three real life mediation scenarios including a life insurance dispute,  an out of court settlement following a car accident, and a disagreement between a franchising company and one of its franchisees.

BPP won joint first prize for Outstanding New International Mediation Programme, and won awards in the categories for Best International Law School, Attorney/Client Division and Overall Best Mediation Team.

Peter Crisp, Chief Executive, BPP Law School said: “Our team of three students put in a tremendous effort before and during the competition, and this phenomenal success is down to their hard work and talent; not to mention the support of their coach, BVC lecturer Rahim Shamji whose drive, enthusiasm and determination have in no small way contributed to this great result.   Well done to students Ali Nouraei, Camilla Whitehouse and David Collins – this is a fantastic achievement, and puts us firmly on the international platform.”
