Arbitration Workshop

Catalog description

The first part is the drafting of arbitral clauses in a variety of circumstantial settings (maritime, labor, commercial, consumer, and employment) in regard to CPR best practices standards and addressing the authority of the arbitrators and the configuration of the arbitral procedure. This process would take several sessions. The second branch would be to view and then construct an arbitration pursuant to one or several of the arbitral clauses. This would require the conduct and architecture of an arbitral trial along with the protocol for its management, both with the arbitrators and the parties. This would take some time as well. Third, the students would be asked to participate in a statutory drafting workshop that reflects their experiences in the two previous branches. They would be asked to evaluate the UNCITRAL Model Law and several national laws of arbitration and arrive at a new and better model law.
