This intensive course in International Commercial Arbitration is offered over 9 days with a weekend workshop.

Participants will be taught the practice of international commercial arbitration, including all major forms of arbitration and arbitration institutions such as ACICA, WIPO and CIETAC. Participants will gain the ability to appear in or act as an arbitrator in such arbitrations in different contexts.

The course assumes a knowledge of law either from a law faculty or some other discipline, such as economics. Successful completion of this programme may enable students to gain advanced standing in postgraduate programs offered by the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales.

The course covers the fundamentals of international commercial arbitration. The lectures and workshops analyse legal concepts and issues arising during the course of an arbitration.

The course offers specialised study in Investment Treaty Arbitration, WIPO Arbitration and Maritime Arbitration. In the afternoon sessions, participants take part in practical group workshops, under the guidance of experienced arbitrators. Students will be given practical training in the conduct of an international arbitration and will discuss a range of problems which may arise in the course of conducting hypothetical international arbitrations.

There is a course dinner for students, speakers and panelists Saturday 8 October 2011.
