The modules
While the first module provides an in-depth introduction to the fundamental features and the law of international arbitration, the following three modules cover practical issues on the basis of a mock arbitration case.
Every module day, one or two renowned international guest speakers are invited to share their experiences and insights with a limited group of participants (approx. 20 persons). The unique blend of in-depth theory with a large range of practical tips and interactive drafting and pleading exercises, ensures an all-round preparation for a career as arbitrator and/or counsel.
After the four-module training, participants will have acquired knowledge and valuable insights into how arbitration is conducted by counsel and arbitrators.
