Participants will have the rare opportunity to learn firsthand from them and to develop helpful contacts with arbitration practitioners from around the world. The course will consist of presentations and interactive discussions using mock cases designed to hone participants' understanding of critical theoretical concepts while also emphasizing many practical aspects involved in conducting an international arbitration.The purpose of this course is to provide training with respect to serving as an arbitrator. Completion of the course will not result in students being awarded any type of certification or accreditation by ICC in terms of their fitness to serve as international arbitrators.Who should attendThis advanced level training is designed primarily for practitioners who have a significant experience in international commercial arbitration as counsel, but who have little or no experience as arbitrators. Arbitrators wishing to reinforce their knowledge may also participate.
