International Commercial Arbitration

This course deals with international commercial arbitration. International Commercial Arbitration has over the past 25 to 30 years - as a function of world trade - become the commercially most significant method of alternative dispute resolution. The course will provide participants with in depth knowledge of international commercial arbitration.

The main objective of the course is to study and compare rules of international arbitration. The emphasis will be placed on knowledge and skills useful to practising lawyers who draft commercial contracts and/or arbitrate commercial disputes at the international level. The course will be taught in English and class discussions will be in English. The purpose is to attract Danish as well as exchange students and to benefit from the different level of knowledge and background each student brings to the class. There will be an emphasis on student participation, and it will be required that students make presentations and participate in discussions. Students may also be asked to prepare awards on different issues.
