Because the court adjudication cannot decide and resolve all disputes, this course aims to introduce other possible dispute resolutions such as Arbitration, Medication, Composition, etc. It will provide an opportunity to seek ideal models for resolving disputes other than court adjudication.

With increasing flows of foreign direct investment in the region, settlement of disputes arising from such investments made with state owned corporations is becoming frequent. Such arbitration is provided for in the contract but increasingly, the investment treaties provide for recourse to such arbitration. A distinct body of case law has developed as a result of a multiplicity of such arbitrations in recent times. The aim of this course is to study the developments that have taken place in the area. It deals with the types of arbitration clauses used in the contracts, court supervision and assistance of such arbitration, the law that is applied in settling disputes, the nature of the award and the problems associated with the enforcement of the award.

Visiting Prof Carrie Menkel-Meadow

This course explores the role and scope of ADR in contrast to traditional litigation and examines the various ADR models used worldwide, in both its binding and non-binding forms.

The focus is on domestic rather than international arbitration and voluntary arbitration rather than arbitration compelled by statute. After a view of the content and relationship of the federal and state arbitration statutes, the course deals with the functional differences between arbitration and litigation, the drafting of arbitration clauses, the enforcement of agreements to arbitrate, the arbitration process, and the scope and limits of judicial review of arbitrator’s awards. At the completion of the course, students will have a firm grasp of the benefits and detriments of arbitration so that they can make sound decisions about whether to agree to arbitration instead of traditional litigation. They also will have an understanding of the tactics and strategy involved in arbitrating disputes successfully. This course is designed for students who will engage in transactional lawyering (drafting contracts, for example) as well as for those who will represent clients before arbitrators.

Arbitration has become the most important means of resolving disputes related to sports, due to its flexibility, timeliness and cost-efficiency, and because membership in the vast majority of international sports federation requires athletes to agree to arbitrate certain types of disputes, including doping offenses. Switzerland is the temple of international sports law and arbitration. The country hosts most major international sports federations and organizations, including the International Olympic Committee, the World Anti-Doping Agency (European Office), the International Federation of Association Football and the International Cycling Union. The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), located in Lausanne, acts as the world’s highest sports tribunal for various disputes between athletes and sports federations. CAS also administers commercial arbitrations in sports matters and sets out a specific arbitration procedure for the Olympic Games. Students taking Sports Arbitration are introduced to these different procedures and have the opportunity to discuss their specificity, including their impact on the rights of athletes.

Before the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States (the ICSID Convention), alleged violations of investment contracts or treaties by foreign States could only be raised by investors in the home courts of those foreign States, or by the investor’s own government in the context of diplomatic protection. These methods raised concerns about the neutrality of the home courts of the host state and about the predictability that the investor’s government would extend diplomatic protection to their nationals’ claims. As a response, and in order to promote international investment, the ICSID Convention introduced a system where investors could directly initiate arbitration proceedings before ICSID, the World Bank’s International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes, regardless of their own government’s support, avoiding national courts. There are now over 2’400 bilateral investment treaties in existence and, in recent years, the number of investment disputes has risen dramatically. ICSID is the international arbitration mechanism par excellence in this field. Acquaintance with the regime and case law of ICSID arbitration has now become indispensable for anyone seeking to have a full picture of arbitration.

Since China has become a member of the WTO, its political and economic regimes have undergone tremendous changes. For instance, it has moved away from a planned economy towards a more liberal market-based and western structure. Dispute resolution is slowly changing as well, though it still remains influenced by millennium old traditions that differ from the approach to dispute resolution practiced in the West. Confucianism, which promotes a spirit of consensus often considered at odds with the very notion of arbitration, still has an important bearing on the way disputes are resolved in Asia. In China, arbitration is also marked by certain significant but largely ignored idiosyncrasies, such as the prohibition of ad hoc arbitration and of foreign arbitration institutions. In addition, only about half of the awards rendered are effectively enforced. Students taking Arbitration in China will have the opportunity to receive insight into the Chinese law and practice of arbitration. Students will be introduced to the workings of some of the most significant Chinese arbitration institutions, such as the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) and the Beijing Arbitration Commission (BAC). Students will further discover recent evolutions and

Het vak arbitragerecht is een nadere kennismaking met het recht en de praktijk van de arbitrage. De nationale arbitrage wordt behandeld aan de hand van het vierde boek van het Wetboek van Burgerlijke Rechtsvordering, de jurisprudentie en arbitragereglementen zoals het Arbitrage Reglement van het Nederlands Arbitrage Instituut. Bij de behandeling van de internationale arbitrage komen naast het Verdrag van New York van 1958 ondermeer aan de orde de Uncitral Model Law en verschillende arbitragereglementen, zoals de Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, de Uncitral Arbitration Rules en de London Court of International Arbitration Rules.

In Western society, law students are led to believe that in-court adjudication is the regular and normal method for settling disputes. This conception, however, is far from the truth. Apart from the fact that many disputes do not lend themselves to authoritative yes-or-no decisions, disputants may experience a series of problems when they choose to assert their rights in court, such as costs, delays, proof proceedings, uncertainty and unpredictability. Where bilateral negotiations are deadlocked and the resourcefulness of a third party is sought, other methods of dispute settlement than adjudication are therefore increasingly considered by disputants, particularly in areas such as construction, employment and family disputes.Conciliation, mediation, Med.Arb., and mini trial (executive tribunal) all belong to the ADR-family. These methods tend to focus on the parties’ real interests and their future relationships. Possible legal problems relating to ADR are discussed such as the compatibility of ADR with the Right of Access to a Court, and the legal status of mediated settlements. In addition, national and European developments on court-annexed mediation shall be highlighted. In this context, the outcomes of the Dutch national mediation project shall be

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the contemporary practice of international commercial arbitration and the core internationally applicable instruments, rather than individual national legislation. It also aims through practical exercises to allow students to develop skills in drafting arbitral clauses and in dealing with procedural issues that arise in arbitration.

content

The course will focus on arbitration, the preferred method of dispute resolution in international trade. Attention will be given to major arbitral institutions and their rules of procedure, as well as ad hoc arbitration; the arbitration agreement with respect to drafting as well as its formal and substantive validity; the State as a party to arbitration; applicable procedural and substantive law; and the supporting and supervisory role of the national courts, taking into account, in particular, the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards

The objective of this course is to make students familiar with the principles underlying the Vienna Sales Convention, in particular in the context of international arbitral proceedings. Furthermore the course aims at familiarizing the students with the most salient features of the resolution of commercial disputes through (international) arbitration.

Presented with a highly complex set of facts students need to be able to identify clear-cut legal questions. They need to perform extensive research on these legal questions, analyse and prioritise the available resources, present their findings to the supervisors and the other members of the Team and process them into the written memorial. Participation in the Vis Moot trains students in formulating their arguments succinctly, cogently, and in a well-structured manner. The pleadings require students to develop and improve their oral skills. During both the written and the oral phase the Team members need to work closely together. The developing of team spirit and acquiring the ability to work in a team is definitely one of the aims of the Moot Court.

Having followed this course, students should have a thorough understanding of the main procedural aspects of investor-State arbitration. In particular, they should be aware of the controversial aspects relating jurisdiction and admissibility, as well as the law governing the procedure, the merits of the dispute, and the enforceability of awards. Students should also be able to synthesize (and thereby critically analyze) the often divergent arbitral jurisprudence as to the relevant issues treated.

The Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) offers the first Europe-based Postgraduate Distance Learning Diploma in International Commercial Arbitration with online support. Teaching operates via an interactive online platform and the circulation of CDs and other tangible media. The online diploma is aimed, in particular, at practising lawyers, barristers, solicitors, in-house lawyers who cannot attend classes in London. Some students have no law background but have arbitration experience, typically engineers, surveyors or accountants. The diploma course attracts annually some 25 students worldwide.

The Diploma is taught by leading experts in the area and covers International and Comparative Commercial Arbitration.projects, investment and intellectual property transactions has been accompanied, over the last four decades by the widened use of arbitration to settle disputes, so greatly expanding its scope from the more traditional sectors such as shipping, commodities and insurance. Arbitration is now well established as the preferred method of international dispute resolution as it provides the neutrality and flexibility commercial parties seek. In the last ten years more than 5,000 arbitration cases were recorded annually in London alone. This module examines the jurisprudential basis and practices of international commercial arbitration, covering both historical evolution and current developments. Over the years, the module has attracted a wide range of students from civil, common and Islamic law backgrounds from more than 90 jurisdictions across the world. This spread of experience and background has contributed to a lively interchange of contributions from the class to enhance the international and comparative approach to the topic; at the same time the growing globalisation and harmonisation receives due emphasis. A consistent comparative law is taken studying the subject in all major legal systems.

In the first term, the module will examine in detail the nature of international construction contracts which may be taken as typical of many complex long-term commercial contracts. It will look particularly at the processes by which they come into being - e.g. the procurement methods of the World Bank and those derived from European Directives on Public Works. The law applicable to construction contracts and to related arbitration agreements will also be discussed. The seminars will continue with an analysis of typical construction contracts, the parties to them (and in particular the role of the Engineer and the Contractor), their structure, and the types of disputes that arise under them. For this purpose reference will be made to typical forms of construction contracts eg the FIDIC Conditions.

The module provides a practical insight into fundamental principles, from an international perspective, by reference to the principal conventions and model laws, and the current approaches to this field in different jurisdictions. In the second term you move on to investment treaty arbitration and other forms of substantive protection that may be available to investors. Topics on this part of the module include the investment dispute resolution facility of the ICSID Convention, and the substantive and procedural protections that may be available to investors under bilateral (BIT) or multilateral (e.g. NAFTA) investment treaties.

All students will attend both parts of the module. The basic format entails one two-hour lecture per week, with a number of ‘cross-over’ seminars over the two terms in which the interplay between these two areas of international arbitration is explored.

This course, which is divided into three main parts, is designed to provide an overview of domestic and international arbitration as a means of settling commercial disputes. The first part of the course examines the theory and institutional structure of arbitration and the legal framework within which arbitral disputes are resolved. In the second part of the course, there is a review of the law and practice of international arbitration, with special reference to international arbitrations with an English seat and to the role of the court in providing assistance for the arbitrator and in reviewing arbitration awards. Comparative analyses will be made of arbitration law and practice in significant centres of international arbitration (for example, USA, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland and France). Both institutional and ad hoc arbitrations will be considered and the significant international rules (e.g. ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL) will be extensively reviewed. The principles and practices of international commercial arbitration with Governments and State-owned entities is the subject of the final part of the course.

The principal focus of the course is upon methods of resolving disputes other than by adjudication. The course brings together theory and observation of practice. It is divided into two parts: following an examination of the history of the "informal justice" movement and contemporary debates surrounding it, the focus of the first part of the course is on the general features of negotiation and mediation and on the contemporary transformation of court processes. In the second half the course examines alternatives to adjudication in particular subject areas (including commercial, family and international dispute resolution), as well as giving students some opportunity for regional specialization. The course is designed to complement the option on Commercial Arbitration.

International disputes that cannot be otherwise resolved are customarily referred to national courts and arbitration. National courts may assume jurisdiction over international disputes and a global network of arbitration organizations and international institutions exist to address references to arbitration. The module examines the judicial and arbitration structures which exist to resolve international disputes, the special international law that has been developed and the associated questions of the private international law.

International arbitration is the established method of determining disputes between international commercial businesses. This module examines the legal theory and practice, and the nature and operation, of international commercial arbitration, and the most important international legal instruments in the area: the New York Convention and the UNCITRAL Model Law.

The course on International Dispute Settlement is concerned with the peaceful settlement of disputes involving the application of international law, including inter-State disputes, and disputes between States and individuals or corporations.

One part of the course is concerned with the study of a range of institutions concerned with dispute settlement such as arbitral tribunals, the International Court of Justice, and more specialised bodies such as the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, the World Trade Organisation, and other institutions handling economic and political disputes. The institutions selected for study vary from year to year.

The second part of the course provides an outline of the principles of procedural law that operate in international tribunals, including international commercial arbitration tribunals. This part of the course involves the study of issues such as jurisdiction and admissibility, the determination of law governing procedure and the law governing the merits of a case, remedies, the recognition and enforcement of judgments and awards, and the review of judgments and awards.

International arbitration is the preferred method of resolving commercial disputes. Disputes relating to international trade, foreign investments, insurance and reinsurance, and construction are generally resolved by arbitration as are disputes under a charterparty, a bill of lading or a ship sale agreement. Arbitration agreements often refer to arbitration under a specified set of arbitration rules. Some arbitration rules are of general application in the commercial field, such as the AAA, ICC, and LCIA rules. Others may apply to specific sectors, such as the various sets of ARIAS rules (insurance and reinsurance), the LMAA rules (maritime arbitration other than salvage claims under Lloyd's open form), the GAFTA rules (trade of grain and feed), the FOSFA rules (trade of oilseeds, oils and fats) and the Lloyd’s rules (salvage claims).

This module focuses on the law of international commercial arbitration from a comparative perspective, with particular focus on the law of England and the UNCITRAL Model Law. The module also addresses a number of key practical/procedural issues in arbitration, again from a comparative perspective. The module deals with the following topics: the juridical nature of arbitration; the regulatory framework for arbitration; the arbitration agreement; the extent of an arbitral tribunal’s authority; choice of law in arbitration, including the law governing the arbitration agreement, the law governing the substance of the dispute, and the law governing the arbitration procedure; the appointment, challenge and status of arbitrators; the supervisory jurisdiction of state courts; confidentiality; provisional and conservatory measures; judicial review of awards; recognition and enforcement of awards; special features of arbitrations with governments and state-owned entities; and conflicts between investment treaty arbitration and contractual arbitration.

discourses is invaluable as a subject matter of academic enquiry. In addition, such knowledge enables lawyers and others to be more resourceful and effective in their legal problem solving.

The module begins with an examination of the growing concern in social science and jurisprudential writing with the nature and significance of disputes, and considers the manner in which traditional approaches have been ‘rediscovered’ and utilised in the refurbishment of civil justice through first the ‘access to justice’ movement and then the ‘ADR’ movement.

The module also examines the manner in which disputes are characterised, the diverse views located in the debates that surround disputes, the causes of disputes, and the resolution of disputes. It introduces the major theoretical approaches to disputes and their resolution, and surveys the decision making processes used in response to disputes.

The module explores the various processes of decision-making relied on in attempts to resolve disputes, examining in particular negotiation and mediation, with a brief review of various types of mixed processes, and considers these

Course covers international commercial arbitration. Topics include the basic framework of international arbitration; the substantive aspects of the international arbitration agreement; the arbitral process itself; the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards under the New York Convention. The course will expose the contexts in which international commercial disputants carry out conflict resolution between them and how international commercial arbitration fits into the emerging and ever changing transnational schemes of private dispute resolution.

Given the internationalization of the business world, disputes, with increasing frequency, involve parties from different parts of the globe. The intent of this course, therefore, is to provide GGU students with an introduction to international commercial arbitration currently and foreseeably the dominant vehicle by which transnational commercial disputes are resolved. The course will provide a basic understanding of the legal underpinnings of arbitration as well as the key issues surrounding the assemblage of an arbitration agreement; the conduct of an arbitral proceeding and the enforcement issues confronting a successful commercial disputant.

The course focuses on the practical and procedural aspects of litigating and arbitrating transnational business and trade disputes. In addition, other forms of international dispute resolution, such as mediation and electronic commerce dispute resolution, are examined. Special attention is given to issues regarding personal jurisdiction, service of process and gathering evidence abroad, conflicts of laws, arbitration procedures, clause drafting, mediation, participant codes of conduct, and award and judgment enforcement.

This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the theory and practice of international commercial arbitration, the preferred method of dispute resolution in international trade and commerce. It will familiarize students with the framework of international treaties and federal and state laws that undergird the international arbitral system and explore U.S. jurisprudence on the respective roles of courts and arbitral tribunals in resolving disputes subject to international arbitration. In addition, the course will analyze alternatives in drafting international arbitration clauses, including the applicable arbitration rules, the significance of the agreed-upon place of arbitration, the number of arbitrators, and the method of their selection. The course will also impart a practical, in-depth understanding of each of the principal stages of arbitration, including the enforcement of the arbitration agreement; initiation of the arbitral proceedings; the availability of provisional remedies; the conduct of the arbitration from the pleading stage through discovery and briefing to the hearing; the arbitral tribunal's preparation of the award; and the judicial enforcement proceedings that conclude the process.

Topics covered in this course include: authority of arbitrators; the arbitration agreement's effect on third parties; selection of the arbitrator and conduct of the proceedings; judicial review of arbitration awards; arbitrators' remedies; the award and the courts; collateral estoppel, res judicata and waiver; mandatory arbitration; and a discussion of the kinds of arbitration, including labor, commercial, medical malpractice and others.

This class focuses on the historically important role of arbitration in the field of labor and employment law. In the first third of the course, students will review several key cases and articles dealing with basic arbitration principles in the union and non-union employment settings, including the continuing debate over compelling arbitration of statutory discrimination claims. Legal principles arising under the Federal Arbitration Act and the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, will be considered.

For the balance of the course, students will be assigned practice and simulation exercises similar to those used in professional legal education programs developed by the instructors for advocates and for those being trained as arbitrators. In the final session of the course, students will work in teams to prepare and present a mock arbitration case before a professional arbitrator. The final grade is based on the series of assignments throughout the semester. There is no prerequisite for the seminar. Some students might find past or current study of courses such as Labor Law, Employment Law, and Evidence to be helpful, but they are not required. The class will be limited to 20 students.

This course provides students with the fundamental legal and jurisdictional underpinnings of the international commercial arbitration system of dispute resolution, the procedural mechanisms for conducting international commercial arbitrations, the domestic judicial tools to compel parties to arbitrate commercial disputes rather than proceed in domestic courts, and the enforcement of international commercial arbitration awards in domestic courts. This course also provides students with an introduction to the comparative law aspects of international commercial arbitration both for the procedural and the substantive matters in dispute.

The course will be conducted through a combination of readings from the textbook, lecture, and supplemental materials, including a mock case. The mock case is designed to require the analysis and application of the rules of law and procedure that are addressed in the lectures and the textbook while exploring the practical jurisdictional and procedural issues that arise when litigating matters across borders and legal systems. This course is taught by Professor Dasteel, who is an advocate and arbitrator in both international and

Arbitration has become an important aspect of legal practice in such disparate fields as securities regulation, commercial law, employment law, family law, labor law, medical malpractice, construction law, insurance and international private law. Although arbitration is the product of an agreement between two contracting parties, arbitration is framed by complex set of legal rules that define its use. The Federal Arbitration Act and other laws determine when arbitration agreements can be enforced, which types of defenses can be raised to them, what types of remedies an arbitrator can award and how much judicial review a party can obtain. This course presents a comprehensive treatment of the legal issues involved in the use of arbitration, both private and court-ordered. It will give the student a thorough understanding of arbitration law, and provide a solid foundation for legal practice whether in alternative dispute resolution tribunals or in the civil justice system.

Alternate Dispute Resolution and Arbitration are continuing as the preferred method of settling disputes in international business transactions. This is due to the fact that neither party is typically prepared to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the other party. It is also explained by the fact commercial arbitration is a speedy and smooth, as well as relatively inexpensive, way of resolving disputes. The general purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the fundamentals of international commercial arbitration.

An introduction to the theory and practice of binding and non-binding judicial arbitration under state and federal law and rules of court. Students will participate as advocates in mock arbitration hearings, analogous to court bench trials. (Seniors only: Limited enrollment)

A course combining study of the Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) with participation in the International Commercial Arbitration Moot (ICAM) program. The first third of the course is devoted to study of the CISG, at the end of which students will take an examination on the Convention. During the balance of the term, students participate in brief writing and oral arguments based on the ICAM problem for the year. The grade in the course will be determined by the grade on the CISG exam, the brief, and the oral argument. The best oralists, as selected by the professors, become members of the ICAM team and travel to Vienna in the spring to represent the College of Law. That team will prepare the Claimant’s and Respondent’s brief to be submitted to the competition. In doing so, it will rely on the briefs already prepared by the class. Because of the possibility of selection to the ICAM team, this course is open only to students who will be enrolled in both the fall and spring semesters.

Objective: The promotion of international commercial arbitration as an alternative to litigation began in Latin America in the early 1990s as a response to the crisis in the judicial systems, globalization, and Latin America's increasing openness to foreign investment and infrastructure projects. Since then, many Latin American countries have enacted new or revised laws to encourage the use of international commercial arbitration. Some but not all of these statutes are based upon the Model Law of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). In addition, most Latin American countries have ratified important international treaties, such as the United Nations Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention), and the Inter-American Convention on International Commercial Arbitration (Panama Convention), and the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of other States (Washington Convention). This scenario has provided a pro-arbitral habitat in the region. However, despite the movement towards the modernization by national legislatures, and the rapid development of international arbitration during the last decade, some challenges and

This course has prerequisite of Lawyering Skills I and II, Contracts I and II, Torts, Property, Criminal Law, Civil Procedure I, and Constitutional Law I. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the arbitration process and practical procedural aspects. The goal is to build students' skill sets and competency with practical legal training advantageous in any legal setting. This course is designed to guide students through current and established arbitration procedures, practices, arbitration clauses, powers and responsibilities of the arbitrator and the roles of arbitrating parties. Other topics that will be explored are the use of arbitration in different formats, mediums, and in various areas of law. The class involves interactive exercises and mock arbitration proceedings. A working understanding of trial advocacy and the essential lawyering skills of interviewing and counseling (I/C) of clients will be helpful.

This is a one credit course taught sometimes in one of the summer programs. In this course, students will learn how international commercial arbitration works. In most international contracts, the parties agree that all disputes will be resolved by arbitration. This private dispute mechanism provides a number of advantages over litigation. One of the most important advantages is that by agreeing to arbitrate, a party avoids ending up in the other party's court system. An arbitration award is also more easily enforced in a foreign jurisdiction than a court judgment, because of an international treaty known as the New York Convention. Students will learn about the various laws and rules governing international arbitration, as well as specific, practical knowledge about arbitrating, such as how to draft an arbitration clause, how to choose an arbitral institution, how to select arbitrators, the ethical rules that apply to arbitrators, the bases for challenging arbitrators, the conduct of the arbitral hearing, rules governing admission of evidence, availability of interim measures, the grounds for vacating an award, and the means of enforcing an award.

Moot Arbitration Competition. Sponsored by Pace Law School, the Vis Moot is based on a problem governed by the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). In the spring, an oral competition is held in two different venues, Vienna and Hong Kong. Recently, Loyola has been able to send a different team of students to each of the venues. The course includes about three weeks of study of the CISG, as well as approximately three weeks of study of international commercial arbitration, including basic laws and rules, how to draft an arbitration clause, how to choose an arbitrator, and how to participate in an arbitration as an advocate and as an arbitrator.

While the first half of the semester is spent learning about the CISG and arbitration, the second half is spent putting that knowledge into practice. When the problem on which the Moot Competition is based comes on line in October, students work collaboratively to draft Claimants' and Respondents' memoranda. The Claimant's memorandum is due in early December, and the Respondent's memorandum is due in late January. Students also present an oral argument before arbitrators from Chicago law firms, at the

This seminar gives students a basic foundation in the mechanics of international commercial arbitration and an understanding of the tactical choices that frequently confront international arbitration practitioners. With the emergence of the global economy and the explosive growth of cross-border transactions and multinational joint ventures, international arbitration has become the leading mechanism for resolution of international commercial disputes. With parties increasingly unwilling to accept the risks of litigation in the local courts of their foreign business partners, international arbitration agreements are now a mainstay of cross-border commercial transactions. Topics include the crafting of effective international arbitration agreements, the relative advantages and disadvantages of ad hoc UNCITRAL-style arbitration and institutional arbitration (ICC, AAA, etc.), the rules of procedure that govern international arbitration, the difficult procedural issues that commonly arise in international arbitration (such as the availability and extent of discovery, the consolidation of parties and claims, etc.), procedural and substantive issues applicable to investor-state arbitration, the effective presentation of evidence, and the enforcement of international arbitral awards.

Arbitration is a widely practiced, sometimes mandatory form of resolving disagreement over disputed facts and issues. This course examines the substantive law of arbitration as well as its role in modern conflict resolution in the context of various settings in which it is used. A conceptual framework and explanatory theories for the analysis of issues frequently encountered in arbitration will be studied. Statutory and contractual grounds for arbitration will be considered in a number of areas, such as labor relations, employment, consumer and commercial transactions. The specific subjects covered will include the decision to use arbitration; the role of lawyers in arbitration; judicial enforcement of arbitration agreements and arbitration awards; contractual issues and defenses; federal preemption; arbitrability and separability; remedies; the relationship between arbitration and litigation, on the one hand, and mediation and other non-adversary forms of dispute resolution, on the other.The growing use of arbitration in resolving disputes requires application of unique presentation skills and an understanding of procedures relating to enforcement by the courts. This course is designed to develop advocacy skills necessary to effectively participate in arbitration and related court proceedings through the use of problems and exercises simulating common arbitration scenarios in which students participate as lawyers, arbitrators and parties. Students will learn to advise clients on various aspects of arbitration, and will have the opportunity to draft an arbitration agreement, a petition to compel arbitration, a prehearing arbitration booklet with legal authorities and supporting exhibits, and pleadings necessary for judicial review (confirmation, modification and/or vacation of an arbitration award).

The old maxim “where business goes, disputes soon follow” has renewed vitality in an age of globalization. As cross-border commerce follows American business abroad, and offshore foreign investment flows into the U.S., the potential for clashes in the business expectations of the parties increases, particularly as the economy softens. Dispute resolution thus becomes an almost inescapable component of today’s private international commercial dispute process. The focus of the course will be on international arbitration, from inception in the contractual drafting through the mechanics of the dispute resolution process to the enforcement stage, with some consideration of other alternative dispute resolution techniques. The original case studies and related materials are largely drawn from actual practice. This course is designed for corporate attorneys as well as litigators.

This course explores the key legal and practical issues encountered when resolving disputes through domestic and international arbitration. Arbitration is a private means of dispute resolution where the parties agree to follow private dispute-settlement procedures and to be bound by the decision of an arbitrator of their choice, whose decision in a final award has the same legal force as a court judgement. The arbitration field is an exciting and growing area of practice. Arbitration is often favored in international disputes because each of the involved parties does not want to find itself facing a dispute in the foreign courts of the other party's country. This course intends to convey a thorough understanding of the law and practice of arbitration - including practical, doctrinal and policy aspects. There will be critical review and discussion of relevant treaties, statutes, rules, institutions, national and international cases, and awards, while considering the more global question concerning the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration as a method of dispute resolution. The course focuses on advocacy skills, and there are numerous (required) opportunities during the class to role-play in mock arbitration scenes.

The course uses an interactive workshop format and it is divided into two closely interrelated modules.

The first module will provide students with the necessary doctrinal background in relation to key arbitration topics, such as validity and interpretation of arbitration agreements, the notion of arbitrability, the importance of the place of arbitration, the role and mandate of arbitrators, the challenge and enforcement of arbitral awards. It also looks into procedural issues that frequently arise in arbitration hearings. Here students will learn how to challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal; whether it is best to challenge the tribunal's jurisdiction before a national court or the tribunal itself; how to request interim relief/injunction to support and protect their arbitral claims; how to bring a third party before a tribunal by joinder or how to bring more claims against the same party.

All these topics will be discussed by reference to arbitration case studies. Thus, during this module, students will have to consider the factual and legal issues of three Arbitration Cases which will then be used for the "Mock Arbitration"

This course offers a study of arbitration as a dispute resolution process for international trade and business disputes. This course reviews ad hoc and institutional arbitration, the authority of arbitral panels, enforcement of agreement to arbitrate, challenging arbitrators, procedure and choice of law in arbitral proceedings, and enforcement of international arbitral awards. Special attention will be given to the international convention on the recognition and enforcement of international arbitral agreements and awards (New York Convention) and the UNCITRAL (U.N. Commission of International Trade Law) arbitral rules and model law. The course focuses on commercial arbitration as an international practice and not on arbitration under any particular national system. Students will participate in a hypothetical arbitration matter, beginning from the development of the claim to preliminary proceedings, the arbitration hearing, and ending with the arbitrators' award.This course introduces students to the theory and practice of Arbitration. The course will address the interplay between the jurisdiction of the courts and the authority of the arbitrator, examining common law, the Uniform Arbitration Act used by most states, and the U.S. Arbitration Act. The course also focuses on the analytical and interpersonal skills necessary for attorneys to be successful in arbitration. The course mixes a case-study approach with practical skills problems, allowing the student to work through an arbitration from drafting the arbitration agreement to details of the actual arbitration hearing. Written assignments will include drafting an arbitration agreement, arbitration Demand, Motion to Compel Arbitration, Motion to Dismiss Arbitration, Motion to Confirm Award and solving ethical problems. Students will also have the opportunity to present oral arguments on the motions.

It will require students to analyze the elements of and policies underlying the most common securities fraud claims, including Rule 10b-5 and its case law, related statutes and typical arbitration claims, and to apply that analysis to pleading cases in both court and arbitration. We will compare the often highly technical pleading requirements in court under the Federal Rules, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act, the Class Action Fairness Act, and the conflicting cases thereunder, with the rather amorphous pleading and hearing practice under the rules of the securities regulatory organizations, primarily the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. There will be several drafting exercises designed to prepare students for securities litigation and arbitration. We will also address the case law and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act concerning the responsibility and liability of lawyers in their representation of clients in securities law matters generally.

The Consumer Arbitration Practicum (“CAP”) is a course in which students will learn about a particular form of arbitration and represent disputants in proceedings before the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs (“NJDCA”). Enrollment is restricted to third year students. In the early sessions, the instructor will explore the nature of this nuanced form of arbitration and rules of the forum. Under faculty supervision, participants will undertake all material aspects of a client representation including the intake meeting, client counseling, negotiating with opposing counsel, drafting of a settlement agreement (where appropriate) and arbitration hearing advocacy. Because students will represent real clients, the ability to be flexible in scheduling client meetings and working with co-counsel is essential. Some responsibilities will fall outside of the weekly scheduled meeting time. Students must be willing to meet or teleconference with clients at times of shared convenience. The instructor reserves the right to schedule a “super session” on a date and at a time of shared convenience. The class will likely span 6 hours on a Friday or weekend.

The Vis Arbitral Moot is an international competition designed to train students in the use of international commercial law and arbitration for resolution of international business disputes. The competition is structured in two phases: the writing of memoranda for the claimant and the respondent and the hearing of oral argument based upon the memoranda ? both settled by arbitral experts in the issues considered. The forensic and written exercises require determining questions of contract ? flowing from a transaction relating to the sale or purchase of goods under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and other uniform international commercial law ? in the context of an arbitration of a dispute under specified Arbitration Rules. The teams and the arbitrators are from both common and civil law countries, permitting students to learn from approaches taken by lawyers from other systems.International investment arbitration, also known as "investor-state" arbitration, represents a significant development in international adjudication. This seminar will focus on the nuts and bolts of the investor-state arbitral process rather than the development of the related body of international law. In the development of adjudication under international law, the fact that a foreign investor, such as an individual or a corporate entity, may have standing to enforce international law obligations against a host state, and then receive monetary compensation, is a relatively new and transformative phenomenon. These arbitrations typically occur under international law before select tribunals of individuals which include some of the highest regarded practitioners in the international law community. The mix of commercial and international arbitration practice and rules, with public international law and the ever present tension between public policy and private interest, make international investment arbitration a particularly topical course of study. In particular, students interested in a general introduction to international adjudication, or those who have already taken the investment law or policy courses, should consider this seminar as a means to delve further into this fascinating area of

Whereas both fields of study have been traditionally treated as distinct subject matter areas, the integrated approach offered by this seminar has the advantage of focusing not only on the doctrinal context of international sales, but also on the actual application of the CISG at the initial stage of contract drafting and negotiation, as well as at the subsequent stage of enforcing the sales contract in case of breach. The educational value of this approach is centered on the interaction between the skills required for problem solving, drafting, legal research, analysis and reasoning at the initial stage, and those skills called for in case the transaction does not go as anticipated, calling for the investigation of facts, counseling and negotiation, as well as the management of an arbitration.

Deals with the theory and practice of international arbitration. Disputes between corporations, nation-states, or individuals, are no longer handled solely in the trial courts of their home jurisdictions but instead increasingly through arbitration across national borders. Because at the same time the court systems in the United States have not been able to keep up with a "litigation explosion," international arbitrations have grown in number and expanded greatly in subject matter. The course equips students to counsel clients regarding entry into an arbitration clause, to manage arbitral proceedings, and to navigate around court proceedings, which often touch upon, stay, or in some manner affect, arbitrations. Students participate as counsel in mock arbitration hearings, prepare Requests for Arbitration, Answers, Terms of Reference, and draft Final Awards. Guest lecturers from the arbitration world, well-known in their fields, occasionally teach the class, using their current, live-case experiences. Grading is based upon classroom participation and a final paper on an agreed-upon topic.

Foreign investment has long been recognized as one of the pillars of the global economy, and is now the focus of significant public attention. This course will deal with both the substance of international investment law and the modern regime of international investment treaty arbitration. We will first deal with the sources of law involved in the foreign investment process and introduce the New York and ICSID Conventions and the corresponding legal regime under which investment treaty disputes may be arbitrated. The course will then consider the protections for foreign investors that are frequently found in bilateral investment treaties and similar instruments-including provisions on expropriation, fair and equitable treatment, full protection and security, and national treatment, as well as various exceptions or limitations on these obligations, particularly related to national security and other vital public policy interests. We will also examine the arbitration process, including jurisdictional issues, the role and selection of arbitrators, the relationship between contract and treaty claims, provisional measures, and enforcement of awards. Finally, we will consider alternative strategies for investor protection, such as investment contracts and political risk insurance, as well as recently evolving issues such as the

This course is an introduction to the law and practice of arbitration. Arbitration is a binding method of dispute resolution. Parties typically agree to arbitrate disputes before they know what disputes are likely to arise between them. Arbitration has historically been used primarily in labor-management disputes and commercial disputes. More recently and quite controversially, arbitration has been used to resolve statutory claims, such as employment discrimination, antitrust and RICO claims. As the use of arbitration increases, so does the controversy. This course will examine the legal and policy issues surrounding arbitration. In addition, this course will introduce students to the practice of arbitration. Students will revise an existing arbitration agreement and conduct arbitration hearings as both an advocate and arbitrator.

This course conveys a thorough understanding of the law and practice of arbitration: its practical, doctrinal, theoretical, and policy aspects both in the domestic and international spheres.

Mediation is compared to arbitration; med-arb. How to counsel with client to identify whether arbitration would be suitable. Understanding the modified rules and style for procedure, discovery, evidence used in arbitration. How to make an opening statement; question witnesses, and present closing. Ethical issues under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the Oklahoma Supreme Court's Code of Conduct for Arbitrators in the Early Settlement Program. Prerequisites: Legal Profession and The Law of Alternative Dispute Resolution.

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 experience 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.

This course provides an introduction to the domestic law and practice of arbitration. It assesses the statutory and decisional law basis for arbitration, especially the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act. It investigates the central doctrinal issues in the field: the enforceability of unilaterally-imposed arbitration agreements, the arbitrability of statutory rights — in particular, civil rights matters, and the use of contract to establish the law of arbitration between the arbitrating parties. Emphasis is placed upon practical problems that have emerged in the practice of arbitration law: the selection of arbitrators, the use of discovery and evidence-gathering in arbitral proceedings, and the content of arbitration agreements. The course also addresses the new uses of arbitration in consumer, health, and employment fields.

By some measures up to 90% of all international and transnational contracts include agreements to resolve disputes between the parties through arbitration. For all its success, the international arbitration system is not a simple organism. It is the product of a complex interaction of national laws, contractual agreements, specialized procedural rules, and international treaties, customs and norms. The system is designed to balance party autonomy with the sovereign and transnational regulatory interests that are implicated in disputes. This course explores the amalgam of sources that undergird the international arbitration system, as well as the strategic considerations, practical skills and policy implications that are involved.

This course is intended to acquaint students with the impact of globalization upon the process of litigation. It focuses upon the adjudicatory resolution of disputes created by international contracts and global business transactions through the standard legal trial process and arbitration. Various basic topics are treated, including (1) the certification and training of international lawyers; (2) the liability exposure of multinational enterprises; (3) the State as an actor in global commerce; (4) problems of comparative jurisdiction, service of process and evidence-gathering, proof of foreign law, and the enforcement of foreign judgments; (5) the extraterritorial application of national law; and (6) attempts to establish a transborder law and legal process. The course also provides a thorough introduction to international arbitration and investor-state arbitration.

This one-credit short course will consider the law and strategic decisions underpinning international commercial arbitration. It will begin by considering arbitration as one “form” of dispute resolution and the reasons why parties (or at least the party in the dominant bargaining position) might favor that form. It then will turn to the issues governing the enforcement of international arbitration agreements, focusing both on the standards under the New York Convention and the subtlely different standards under the Federal Arbitration Act. The course then focuses on arbitral procedure, placing particular emphasis on the choice of arbitrators, the arbitral forum and discovery (focusing on the extent to which default rules as opposed to mandatory rules govern these issues). Finally, the course will conclude with a survey of the law governing the vacatur, recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards. Picking up on the contract vs. regulation themes that permeate the agreement and procedure discussion, the course will study closely the US Supreme Court’s very recent decision in Hall Street v.

This course will serve as an introduction to the main three tools of Alternative Dispute Resolution: negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. (Negotiation is when two or more parties work together to achieve a mutually acceptable agreement; mediation is when a neutral third party plays the role of mediator in assisting by asking questions and guiding the conversation of two or more parties as they work together to achieve a mutually acceptable agreement; and arbitration is when a neutral third party takes on the role of judge and decides the outcome of a disputed matter after it is presented to him or her in a setting similar to a court trial). Through the use of lecture, simulations, and exercises, students will learn both theoretical and practical aspects of all three tools.

International Commercial Arbitration compares various dispute resolution strategies, focusing on international arbitration and the various arbitral institutions and regimes.

While arbitration does not completely displace court litigation, it is now the principal means of the resolution of transnational disputes. This course first looks at the challenges associated with court litigation when the party-litigants are from different jurisdictions and cultures, and then provides an overview of the applicable laws and treaties in international arbitration. It highlights the difficulties associated with cultural diversity in the arbitral process by profiling some of the world's leading arbitral centers. It finally offers a comparative look at problems of enforcement of arbitral awards in selected jurisdictions.

As the globalization of business advances, more commercial disputes are resolved through international arbitration. Indeed, the neutrality and procedural flexibility of international arbitration is, in some cases, essential to conducting international commerce.

This course will immerse students in the subject through a structured simulation of practice in the field of international commercial arbitration. Students will undergo an orientation as associates in a mock law firm, and then move through the stages of a hypothetical international arbitration: from drafting an effective arbitration clause to enforcing or challenging an arbitral award.

As mock associates, students will be expected to analyze statutes and rules, research and draft memoranda and arbitral submissions, advocate orally on issues arising in international commercial arbitration, and submit weekly timesheets. The course will thus emphasize writing and advocacy to develop an understanding of the customary practice of international commercial arbitration. In this way, the course hopes to give students the experience of being a law firm associate practicing in the field.

This course introduces the legal framework for, and major legal issues relating to, international commercial arbitration under the New York Convention of 1958 and major national statutes on arbitration including the U.S. Arbitration Act of 1925.

Part I introduces the basic characteristics of and rationale for international commercial arbitration; Part II covers forms and substance of an arbitration agreement; Part III addresses qualifications and responsibilities of arbitrators; Part IV discusses the arbitration process, including issues like the doctrine of lex arbitri, terms of reference, discovery process, and role of expert opinions. Finally, Part V covers judicial control over the arbitration process and recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award under the New York Convention.

The course focuses on the doctrinal and practical aspects of international commercial arbitration but also references contemporary scholarship that critiques both the institution of arbitration and its place in the supra-national system of "soft" law that now governs private and state legal entities.

Professor James Oldham

Arbitration has played a prominent role in American labor relations since its strong endorsement by the Supreme Court in 1957 in the Lincoln Mills decision. The procedure is viewed by many as the mainspring of the collective bargaining agreement, providing a means of dispute resolution without a strike. Sometimes arbitration is used to resolve deadlocked contract negotiations; more frequently, it is used to resolve employee grievances. The customary advantages of the process are speed, inexpensiveness, finality, and privacy. Although this seminar focuses on labor and employment arbitration, many of the principles and practices apply as well to commercial arbitration. The seminar explores fully the arbitration process--how it works; how arbitrators function and what standards and rules they apply; and whether the customary advantages remain valid. Special attention is given to practice and procedure in the labor arbitration hearing. Arbitration cases or arguments are simulated, and each student participates as witness, counsel, or the arbitrator. Independent of the simulations, a serious research paper is required.

Professors Mark Kantor, Jean Kalicki

This course blends mock litigation experiences with class discussion of techniques, strategy and ethics in international arbitration proceedings.

Many public investors are surprised to learn that they do not have a right to litigate disputes with their brokers in court. Instead, arbitration is the vehicle through which the vast majority of individual American investors vindicate their rights under the securities laws. This seminar examines the history and practice of securities arbitration in the United States. Students will learn how broker-dealers resolve controversies with their customers and employees through arbitration and other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms sponsored by Self-Regulatory Organizations (“SROs”). The course will also examine how securities arbitration is used in the context of intra-industry and cross-border disputes. This seminar will review the substantive law and SRO rules that apply to broker-dealers that deal with public customers and will also review step-by-step the securities arbitration process from the filing of a claim through a “mini-trial,” presided over by one to three panelists. Current issues will also be discussed.This course studies the collective bargaining process and the role of arbitration in establishing and maintaining the legal rights and duties of the employer and the union.
