The Arbitration and Mediation course familiarizes participants with alternative methods of dispute resolution (ADR). The first part of the course examines the legal issues involved in international commercial arbitration; the second half introduces participants to the goals and techniques of mediation. The emphasis throughout is on the development of practical skills.
The Arbitration for Judges course is designed specifically for judges. As international commercial arbitration becomes more complex and is increasingly used as a means of resolving disputes, judges are faced with diverse challenges and they need the knowledge and skills to respond to them. The course is designed to provide participants with a deep insight regarding the latest legal developments on important issues involving arbitration and its intersection with domestic courts.
The Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments course is intended to familiarize participants with the law and practice related to the recognition and enforcement of foreign judicial judgments. The first part of the course examines the legal issues involved when courts in one state are asked to recognize or enforce judgments rendered by courts in another state. It looks in some detail at representative domestic laws (including in particular U.S. law). The second part addresses emergent regional rules (especially within the EU) and efforts to establish internationally agreed rules and procedures, as well as well as specific issues and cases which highlight the continuing difficulties.
The Judicial and Court Administration and Case Load Management seminar provides an in-depth study of the principles and techniques for the development and administration of a modern, efficient, fair and transparent court system. References will be made to the experience of judges and court officers in the United States as a basis for discussion. The seminar will also include presentations on case management for the efficient processing of cases through the courts and site visits to local federal and state courts and court support institutions to illustrate best practices or alternative approaches to the topics discussed.
The Oil and Gas Contracts and Dispute Resolution course covers the main contracts used in the field of oil and gas and the legal and financial issues involved in oil and gas industry. It provides participants with a detailed analysis of the mechanism and key provisions with an emphasis on Production Sharing Agreements and Joint Operation Agreements. The seminar will also cover advanced topics dispute resolution of oil and gas contracts through investment arbitration and commercial arbitration regimes.
The Arbitration and Mediation (Advanced) course strengthens participants’ knowledge of alternative methods of dispute resolution (ADR). The course examines the theory behind the advanced legal issues involved in international commercial arbitration, and emphasizes the development of practical skills through case studies, workshops and exercises.
The International Climate Change Obligation and Opportunities course will present an in-depth analysis of the proposals considered by the Conferences of the Parties (“COP”) of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“UNFCCC”) in Copenhagen in December 2009. Efforts will have established a basis for a comprehensive agreement that will be a successor to the Kyoto Accords.
The Dispute Mechanism of the WTO: Winning Strategies weeklong program will focus on the WTO dispute settlement system, which is legally much stronger and more rigorous than its GATT predecessor and on dispute settlement mechanisms in regional trade agreements. Particular attention will be directed at increasing the effectiveness of developing country participation in the WTO and regional dispute settlement proceedings.
SUMMER LEGAL PROGRAMS and WORKSHOP ON LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING
The Summer Legal Programs offer a greater understanding of the U.S. legal system through an in-depth analysis of U.S. law and its impact on international organizations. The programs are also an excellent tool to prepare future graduate students for law school in the U.S. and for lawyers trained in civil law systems.
Legal English and Legal Writing: July 5th-July 16th, 2010
The Introduction to Legal English seminar combines an intensive language course and a workshop on legal research and writing. It provides a foundation in legal terminology for individuals whose first language is not English. The program develops the participant’s ability to recognize, understand, and use American legal terminology in oral and written formats, and to understand the special nature of the English language when used in a legal context.
Orientation in the U.S. Legal System: July 19th- August 6th, 2010
The Orientation in the U.S. Legal System seminar, now in its 40th year, presents a core curriculum of substantive and procedural matters in U.S. law by U.S. professors and attorneys and emphasizes the distinctive American method of legal analysis. Its main objectives are to provide participants with knowledge of the basic institutions of the U.S. legal system.
