LAW462B

This class will give the students in-depth practical insight to the main mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution in a broad sense. It will also cover their core features (including a step-by-step introduction to the respective ADR process), their advantages and disadvantages as well as their suitability in a given commercial setting. It will not only encompass amicable dispute resolution mechanisms such as negotiation, conciliation, and mediation in an international context, but also adversarial procedures such as international commercial arbitration as well as investor-State arbitration.

The students will learn about all of those topics in an experiential manner, and will do so while having experienced European practitioners with teaching experience from various backgrounds, including corporate and institutional, as guest lecturers.
