LAW6102   International Commercial Arbitration   (15 credits)

Description

This module discusses and studies the international commercial arbitration legal framework based on the 1958 UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention). It first introduces the sources and hierarchy of norms governing international commercial arbitration, and then focuses on the legal issues and processes concerning enforcing arbitration agreements, selecting and challenging arbitrators, choosing the procedure and applicable law in arbitral proceedings, and enforcing the resulting arbitral award. This module's unique approach presents commercial arbitration as a transnational phenomenon and not as a subject based in or controlled by any particular national legal system.
