For over ten years, CEDR has been sponsoring and organising the annual National Student Negotiation Competition, in collaboration with the University of Law.
The competition pits pairs of law students from across universities in England, Scotland and Wales against each other to negotiate a series of challenging fictional scenarios.
There are initial regional finals of the competition and then those winners progress to the national finals. The winning team travels to an international championship. CEDR offer the winners of the regional finals a one-day negotiation skills training course, giving them even more tools to use as they compete in the final.
During the heats, teams will be ranked on their performance by professional lawyers, businesspeople and academics, as well as being scored in eight categories.

CEDR will again be providing all entered students with access to webinars in the skills of negotiation. These are designed to give all students, whatever their level of experience, the opportunity to hone their skills in advance of the competition.
CEDR will also be offering a free day’s training session in negotiation for the competition finalists to allow them to develop advanced skills. We will also offer further support to the winning team to prepare them for the International Competition.
