Description:

Description: Student taking this course may NOT also take Business Arbitration (7055). International commercial arbitration refers to the arbitration of disputes between private parties of different nationalities which arise out of their business relations and have a multinational subject matter. Arbitration as a mechanism for settling disputes between transnational contracting parties has enjoyed tremendous growth in recent years. Indeed, today it is almost standard practice to include an arbitration clause in international contracts. And as the number of contracts calling for arbitration has increased, so too has the number of cases submitted for arbitration and the demand for arbitration services. It is therefore essential that lawyers with sophisticated business practices be able to advise clients concerning the use of arbitration as a method for resolving disputes between transnational contracting parties and possess the skills to represent their clients in such an arbitration. The course in international commercial arbitration will provide an overview of how international arbitration works, focusing on a lawyer's role in counseling clients on the pros and cons of arbitration, negotiating and preparing arbitration agreements, representing clients before an arbitral tribunal, and enforcing an arbitral award. The major portion of the course will be devoted to exposing students to the experiences that a lawyer practicing in the area of international commercial arbitration is likely to encounter. This will be accomplished primarily through drafting exercises, simulated client counseling and negotiation sessions, and mock hearings. 3.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
