In response to the widespread use of arbitration for resolving disputes in international business and economic transactions, the Dubai International Arbitration Centre and Centre for Transnational Law (CENTRAL) are organising a course to provide an introduction to international commercial arbitration and practical techniques for handling arbitration cases.

SYNOPSIS OF THE COURSE

In brief, the course lays out the basics of arbitration and other forms of ADR, which is designed with the aim of expanding the participants' education in the field of International Commercial Arbitration and further contributing towards their self development in becoming a prospective arbitrator or expert witness. The course is ideal for lawyers, government officials, business executives, advanced young practitioners and others wishing to familiarize themselves with the different dispute resolution techniques.

The Course will consist of three all-day interactive workshops & mock exams, which introduce the unique aspects of international commercial arbitration.
