The Story in Brief
Sama will host a roundtable on building the next generation of dispute resolution professionals in Bengaluru on August 20, 2026. The event will bring together deans, alternative dispute resolution professors and law school faculty from Karnataka and neighbouring states. It will run from 5 pm to 7:30 pm at Sama’s Indiranagar office, with dinner and networking after the main session. Attendance is free, and registration is required by August 19, according to LiveLaw.
The programme includes a keynote by Vahura Senior Consultant Shahzar Hussain on changing legal hiring trends. Discussions will cover practice readiness, legal technology, mediation, online dispute resolution, internships and ADR clinics. Sama will also preview the 10th edition of Indian Mediation Week and its Student Ambassador Programme.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story here is that legal technology and mediation will replace traditional litigation careers. That is as overstated as treating another networking event as a jobs guarantee. The roundtable can be useful if law schools turn discussion into internships, skills training and measurable placements. Sama’s own figures, cited by LiveLaw, are large, but participation in an event is not proof of career outcomes. The useful test is how many students gain sustained roles after the partnerships announced here.
