Supreme Court Justice Insights on Gen Z's Mediation Trends
According to Supreme Court Justice N Kotiswar Singh, Generation Z lawyers demonstrate a greater openness to mediation than their predecessors, reflecting a shift in how legal education is approached. Justice Singh noted that during discussions with interns, many expressed that mediation was treated as a secondary topic in law schools.
This observation calls for an increased emphasis on teaching mediation as a core component of legal training, ensuring that young lawyers are equipped to utilize this alternative dispute resolution method advantageously.
For legal educators and practitioners, fostering a culture of mediation in legal education and practice could facilitate a more collaborative and solutions-oriented approach to conflict resolution in law.
