“Inauguration of “NLUO Mediation Cell”: India’s first Institutional-run Mediation Cell.”
10 Aug 2022
The Centre for Mediation and Negotiation (CMN), NLUO is delighted to announce that the Centre is all prepared to start the NLUO Mediation Cell, which is the first of its kind in India. The NLUO Mediation Cell at the National Law University Odisha will be inaugurated by Hon’ble Dr. Justice S. Muralidhar, Chancellor, NLUO & Chief Justice, High Court of Orissa on 15th August 2022 in the presence of Prof. Ved Kumari, Vice-Chancellor, NLUO and Prof. (Dr.) Yogesh Pratap Singh, Registrar, NLUO.
The NLUO Mediation Cell is the first institutional-run mediation cell in India to provide live-mediation services (both private and court-referred mediation). With this initiative, NLUO is striving hard to achieve the constitutional goal of access to justice and free legal aid. NLUO, with the establishment of NLUO Mediation Cell, is also not far from achieving the SDG 16 under UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030, i.e., Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
The NLUO Mediation Cell would be handling multifarious legal disputes including family, matrimonial, property, land and consumer disputes through mediation with the help of faculties-cum-trained mediators, and is looking forward to collaborate with other centres at NLUO and other organisations around. CMN acknowledges the efforts of the Legal Aid Society and the Pro-Bono Club for organising CMN’s first joint outreach drive to create awareness about the resolution of disputes through mediation amongst the masses.
At the beginning, the Cell will focus on people from nearby places and will gradually extend to the whole state and provide free mediation services both physically and virtually through Online Dispute Resolution (ODR).
