Course Overview: According to a International Arbitration Survey: Improvements and Innovations in International Arbitration jointly carried out by White & Case and Queen Mary University School of International Arbitration, international arbitration is the preferred mode for resolving international commercial disputes, with about 90% of respondents indicating their preference for international arbitration, either as a stand-alone method (56%) or together with other forms of ADR (34%).
For all its importance and success, international arbitration is not a simple regime. The system is designed to balance party autonomy with the sovereign and transnational regulatory interests that are implicated in disputes, which is achieved through a complex interaction of national laws, contractual agreements, specialized procedural, rules, and international treaties, customs and norms.
More often than not, a deep understanding of these complexities and the skills required for a good arbitration practice is lacking in developing economies, such as Nigeria. The purpose of this course is to provide Nigeria lawyers with an understanding of legal rules and standards, strategic considerations, practical skills and policy implications that are required to be an effective international arbitration practitioners.
