The Atlanta Bar Association Dispute Resolution Section has a long history of sponsoring the Edward J. Henning Memorial Award. This prestigious cash award is presented to an outstanding ADR student at each of Georgia’s five ABA-accredited law schools: Emory, Georgia, Mercer, Georgia State, and John Marshall. The award serves as a tribute to Ed Henning, a key figure in the mediation landscape of Georgia. Karthik Jayaraman has been named the recipient of this honor for Georgia State College of Law.
Reflecting on his academic journey, Karthik shared, “I completed my undergraduate degree in Engineering from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in India and went on to earn a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Wales, UK. After graduation from law school, I plan to stay in Georgia and practice Family Law, with a focus on child custody and domestic abuse cases.”
Karthik emphasized the significance of mediation in the legal realm, particularly within family law. He stated, “Mediation plays a crucial role in the legal process, especially in family law. It provides a more compassionate, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to litigation, which can be financially and emotionally draining for families already in distress. In cases involving child custody and domestic abuse, mediation allows for a more private and controlled environment where sensitive issues can be addressed with care. It empowers individuals to have a say in the resolution of their disputes and often leads to outcomes that are more satisfactory and sustainable for all parties involved.”
