Alternative Dispute Resolution Honor Society

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Honor Society (ADRHS) is a student-run organization geared towards fostering an interest in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) at the Washington College of Law. ADRHS is comprised of several competition teams. The Competition Teams are open to a select number of WCL students, as the students serve as ambassadors for the law school in competitions around the United States and the world. All competing members must first be selected during the Spring Qualifying Tournament and then they are placed into teams according to their backgrounds and interests. International competition team members have to be selected through an additional screening process. For more information, please send an email to wcladrhs@gmail.com.

Not only is ITILS one of the most successful and engaged student groups here at WCL, but its members have gone on to create waves in the trade community here in D.C. and abroad.  For more information, please send an email to intl.trade.wcl@gmail.com.
