Arbitral institutions are important stakeholders in the field of international dispute settlement, but the nature and importance of their role have often been overlooked. The course seeks to introduce participants to the role and function of arbitral institutions in guiding and shaping the practice and development of international dispute settlement, and to the complex issues that arbitral institutions face in the administration of arbitrations, including, among others, the appointment of arbitrators and the issuance of arbitral rules and practice notes.
In this connection, SIAC has grown to be one of the most popular arbitral institutions not just in Asia, but the world. The course involves a study of SIAC processes as well as related case law emanating therefrom. Participants will learn not just what the relevant rules, procedures and processes are, but more importantly, participants will gain insight into why those rules exist, and how those rules are implemented in practice.
In addition to commercial arbitration, this course will also look at arb-med-arb protocols and investor-state dispute settlement.
The course will involve guest instructors from the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and by other leading practitioners, who will share their unique, practical perspectives on administering or advancing a particular case. Participants keen on developing a practice in international dispute settlement will find this course of direct relevance.
