The Story in Brief
Sama, an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform, is hosting a free roundtable on August 20 for law deans and ADR professors in Bengaluru. The event will discuss how legal hiring is evolving and how law schools can prepare students for careers in mediation, ODR, and legal tech. Shahzar Hussain, senior consultant at legal recruitment firm Vahura, will deliver the keynote.
Since 2019, Sama has processed over 2 crore disputes and resolved more than 34 lakh cases, with an average resolution time of 45 days. The roundtable will also preview Indian Mediation Week 2026 and the Student Ambassador Programme. Registration is free and open until August 19.
The Indian Opinion
The roundtable promises to bridge law schools and the booming dispute resolution industry. But too often such gatherings remain Bengaluru-centric and fail to reach smaller law colleges in tier-2 cities where students have little exposure to mediation careers. Vahura's hiring data will be useful only if it leads to concrete curriculum changes. The real test: will participating law schools introduce mandatory ADR internships after this event?
