Second Annual Seminar on International Commercial Arbitration
How to Handle a Construction Case Under
the International Arbitration Rules of the AAA
Washington, DC
September 12-15, 2005
 FIRST ANNUAL SEMINAR CLOSING RECEPTION 2004 |
Taught by leading practitioners in the field, this four-day intensive advanced seminar provides critical skills and practical insight into handling cases under the International Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association's (AAA) International Centre for Dispute Resolution. Through dynamic interactive lectures and scenario-based exercises, participants will be taught skills, strategies, and tactics for successfully conducting international arbitration cases on various factual and legal bases.
In response to the widespread use of arbitration for resolving disputes from international business and economic transactions, the Washington College of Law's International Arbitration Program has developed an advanced practical seminar to provide legal practitioners with techniques for handling arbitration cases. The First Annual Seminar, held in 2004, centered on a mock arbitration case under the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Arbitration Rules. The Seminar met with unprecedented success, bringing together practitioners and arbitrators from 16 countries. We invite you to join us for this year's seminar and benefit from the faculty expertise presented on international arbitration under the rules of the AAA's International Centre for Dispute Resolution.
