From conciliation applications in Germany, the use of mediation for companies under judicial reorganization in Brazil, the recent INADR International Law Student Mediation Tournament at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, to transformative teaching in Shanghai, the broad coverage of topics continues on the Kluwer Mediation Blog. Why not have a look at the summary of the April posts below…

In What Would You Do With … A River At The Table?, drawing on the recent granting of full legal personality to the Whanganui River in New Zealand, Ian Macduff considers the granting of legal rights and moral status to the environment.

In Cooperation with a Competitor, Charlie Irvine explores the challenge faced by young mediators in the recent INADR International Law Student Mediation Tournament at the University of Strathclyde: not only do students act as mediator, advocate and client, but they must co-mediate with a student from another team. In simple terms, the students are being asked to cooperate with a competitor. Charlie identifies the fascinating implications of such cooperation with competitors.
