Testimonial

“In the field of international arbitration, the training of practitioners is particularly important to ensure that parties benefit from the flexibility intrinsic to the arbitral process, while navigating the confluence of national and international law. Gary Born’s innovative online course successfully addresses this need in an accessible format, to the benefit of students and lawyers from around the world, including those from underrepresented regions.”

Bruno Savoie, Journal of International Arbitration (2020)

“The Lectures are designed to introduce practitioners and students to basic issues of international arbitration – including international commercial, investment and state-to-state arbitration – in a convenient and user-friendly format. Each Lecture is roughly 20 minutes and provides an accessible discussion of the international arbitral process. More advanced topics, for experienced practitioners and academic users, are also addressed in follow-up Lectures.”
