Aims

The International Arbitration Summer School is the first of its kind. It is divided into two stages: the first part of the program will be held in Paris, the second in Zurich.

Paris and Zurich are ideal places to learn about International Arbitration. For more than one hundred years, Paris has been the headquarters of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), a diligent advocate of the open multilateral trading system and a renowned champion for international commercial dispute resolution.

Just like Paris, Zurich is one of the preferred venues for hosting international arbitrations. Since 2000, Switzerland has been ranked first among the chosen venues for ICC arbitration proceedings.

In Paris, experienced practitioners will instruct students on arbitration law and the rules of the ICC. In Zurich, participants will focus on Swiss arbitration law and the Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution’s Swiss Rules of International Arbitration (Swiss Rules 2012).

Excursions and Cultural Program

Three excursions to arbitration-related institutions will enable students to gain insight into the practice of international arbitration. Furthermore, they will get a chance to experience the dynamic and exciting culture of these two cities.

In Switzerland, the program includes an optional weekend trip (19 – 21 July 2013), including a range of cultural options.

The course is suitable for students from all over the world enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program as well as for young professionals with an interest in international commercial arbitration.
