Teaching
Advanced Seminar in International Dispute Settlement (On-Campus)
Provides students an opportunity to discuss some of the most advanced and topical issues of theoretical and practical significance in the field, thereby serving as a logical way of concluding the academic year for those who are specializing in the field. It is conceived as the “crown” at the end of a sequence of introductory, overview and then more specialised and practical courses on international dispute resolution, commercial arbitration and investment arbitration.
