Domestic Arbitration
This course addresses domestic arbitration practice and theory and emphasizes developing the skills needed to represent clients in arbitration proceedings. This course does not address international arbitration, which is separately offered.
This course is offered as an intensive skills experience taking place over five consecutive days during the January intersession. In that period of intensive instruction, aside from lectures and classroom discussion, students will be required to take part in several simulations, including negotiating, preparing, and submitting a written arbitration agreement; advocating on behalf of a client at a preliminary hearing; arguing a motion relating to obtaining interim relief; and cross-examining a witness at an arbitration hearing. The course is graded on the basis of performance on simulations, writing assignments (including a final paper), and multiple-choice quizzes.
