The ever-growing demand for international commercial arbitration as a principal method of dispute resolution across the global landscape has resulted in the need for practitioners, industry professionals, business executives, and most importantly, law students to get equipped with the industry knowledge of practice, procedure, and legal framework of international commercial arbitration. Unfortunately, the current law school curriculum is restricted only to the defined tenets of Alternative Dispute Resolution courses and arbitration is taught summarily as a part of it with barely any emphasis on international commercial arbitration.
Therefore, WizLaw Academy brings an exclusive and industry relevant skill-based course on international commercial arbitration focused on theoretical and practical underpinnings of international commercial arbitration, offering participants in-depth knowledge and understanding of the law and practice of international commercial arbitration along with industry insights from one of the leading practitioners in the field of international commercial arbitration. This course aims to be a systematic and comprehensive journey for the participants taking them through the main steps and phases of an international commercial arbitration proceeding observed from the viewpoints of all the stakeholders involved.
The speciality of this course lies in its pedagogy, where a collaborative, interactive and live lectures format following the Socratic method will be employed to deliver the course. The reading material for this course is specially curated by the instructor keeping in mind the requirements of the industry to aid a deeper understanding of concepts related to arbitration and their application in real life scenarios. The course will also comprise guest lectures from eminent personalities and practitioners in the field of international commercial arbitration hailing from leading arbitral institutes, law firms, and organisations across the world.
The course aims to examine a broad range of legal and practical issues pertaining to the arbitration agreement, arbitrators, arbitral proceedings, and arbitral awards. The course will be taught on the touchstone of relevant international treaties and conventions such as the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, the New York Convention, and other soft laws such as IBC Rules on Taking Evidence, etc. along with a comprehensive comparative analysis of jurisprudence evolved in different legal systems. The course will delineate on niche aspects such as counsel ethics, independence and impartiality of arbitrators, provisions for interim relief, etc.
