Intensive Course: ICC Arbitration

Prof. Pierre Tercier Chairman of the ICC International Court of Arbitration; Professor at the University of Fribourg.
8-9 April 2009
The International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris is one of the most important and best known institutions of arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Its unique set of procedures have been applied to more than 15’000 disputes since their adoption in 1922. Against the background of the general system of international commercial arbitration presented in the general courses, students taking ICC Arbitration are offered a concrete review of the ICC arbitration process and its specificities, such as the Terms of References and the scrutiny of the award by the arbitration institution. Students are also confronted with the writing of some documents related to a procedure before the ICC. It is a rare privilege that we offer our students to be taught the ICC Rules and practice by the person in charge of running the ICC International Court of Arbitration.
