“Disputes which do not involve the interpretation of law should be solved by adopting a strategic negotiation process to avoid the delay caused due to the litigation process,” High Court of Karnataka judge E.S. Indiresh said.
He was inaugurating KLE Law Academy’s 3rd National Negotiation Competition organised by KLE Society’s G.K. Law College in Hubballi on Saturday. A total of 22 teams from different colleges across the country are participating in the two-day national level event.
Elaborating on the importance of Constitutional values, Justice Indiresh emphasised the need for resolving disputes by adopting alternative methods like arbitration, mediation and negotiation. He called on the law students to study Constitutional history and follow eminent advocates’ professional attitudes to succeed.
Dean Faculty of Law, Registrar (Evaluation) and Director, KSLU’s Law School of Karnataka State Law University Ratna R. Bharamgoudar, emphasised the need for equipping oneself with various skills apart from working hard and showing commitment and patience to succeed in professional life.
