# Christ University opens registrations for 7th CMAC 2027 with SIAC 2026-11-10T13:01:30+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Final registrations are open for the 7th CHRIST Mediation-Arbitration Competition (CMAC), 2027, supported by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and organised by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Board, School of Law, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru. The competition, to be held from 8 to 10 January 2027 at the Central Campus, follows the Med-Arb format, integrating mediation and arbitration. It is open to national and international law students, with teams of three members each. Cross-institutional teams are allowed, and multiple teams from the same institution can participate. Registrations close on 15 November. The event also includes the Bangalore Dispute Resolution Conclave, a two-day conference with panel discussions, for registered participants. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The seventh CMAC positions itself as a flagship student event with backing from SIAC, and the partner list spans international firms and arbitration bodies. The open eligibility for cross-institutional and multiple teams per institution likely widens the pool beyond single-university entries. The closing registration date of 15 November is the immediate deadline, leaving a short window for teams to finalise their rosters. The competition’s Med-Arb format, where the mediator also drafts the arbitral award, is the distinctive feature that will test adaptability. The associated Bangalore Dispute Resolution Conclave adds a professional development layer for participants. With the event set for January 2027, the next step is registrations closing on 15 November. ## Coverage - scconline.com Straight announcement of competition details with no editorial slant.
