The U of A School of Law and the Board of Advocates will host the final round of the 2022 Negotiations Competition at 9 a.m. in the E.J. Ball Courtroom on April 8.

The campus community is invited to attend the event in-person or view it online.

A total of 18 teams and many solo competitors participated in the intra-school competition, and the final two teams will compete in the final round.

The students will advocate for their mock clients during negotiations for the creation of a business contract. They will be judged by the Hon. Shawn Womack (J.D. '96), Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court; the Hon. Cindy Thyer (J.D. '95), Circuit Judge for Fourth Division of the 2nd Judicial District; and Dequeshia Prude, managing partner at Prude Legacy Law Group.
