Description
Deals with practical aspects of choice-of-law problems in international arbitration cases concerning both the procedure and the merits. The main goal of this course is, by analyzing different arbitral awards, to teach the various choice-of-law approaches observed by international commercial arbitrators when making applicable law or rules of law determinations and how these approaches have evolved thorough the years. The course aims to contrast the choice-of-law reasoning of arbitrators with those of national courts of law when confronted with the same or similar issues. Students may download the 24-hour take-home exam seven calendar days after the last day of classes. The exam will be available until August 1, 2018 through MyWCL. l Students don’t have to be in DC to take the exam since it can be downloaded electronically.
