A Year of Competition Successes for Chapman Law

    As we near the end of this academic year, we like to reflect back on Chapman’s overall performance in the 2012-2013 academic competitions. We are happy to report that this year has been our most exciting yet! For the first time in our history, we took first place at a Mediation Tournament hosted by the International Academy of Dispute Resolution (INADR) in Dublin, Ireland among other great successes. Thank you to the students and faculty members who worked so hard to make this academic year an especially strong one for Chapman Law!
