16:15-18:45 ICDR & ICDR Y&I Tertulia: Deliberating the Deliberations

Deliberations—the culmination of the arbitral process—are a critical factor in the quality of the resulting decision and award. As such, and because the number of arbitration cases has increased in recent years, the arbitral community has been devoting more attention to deliberations. This session will delve deeply into the deliberative process, considering questions such as:

• What are best practices for deliberating the case—e.g., how and when should deliberations take place and the award be prepared?

• What should be done about non-impartial arbitrators?• How can differing views and legal traditions of arbitrators be reconciled in the evaluation of evidence and

cross-examination, among other procedural tools?• Where is the line between a compromise of views made to achieve a unanimous award and simply

“splitting the baby”—and is a unanimous award as important as it is made out to be?• How deeply should the tribunal secretary be involved?

9:00-10:30 The Evolution of International Arbitration over 20 Years—and a Look Ahead

Over the last 20 years, the use of international arbitration as a dispute resolution method in international business has increased dramatically, with an exponential rise in the number of treaty signatories, arbitrators, advocates, and arbitral institutions. Changes in technology, court practices, and the ease of travel have impacted theinfrastructure of international arbitration, and with it, the process of arbitration.

“Soft law” has emerged as an important factor in international arbitration, and international arbitration rules have undergone major changes. And now forces are challenging the use of and putting pressure on internationalarbitration in some spheres. If the past is prologue to the future, what will the next 20 years be like?

11:00-12:30 Lessons from the Front: Clients on Their Experiences Becoming Dispute-Wise®

Repeat users of international arbitration have learned much about what works and what doesn’t. Somecompanies have developed sophisticated approaches to managing their dispute resolution processes with the aim of improving its outcomes, efficiency, and effectiveness. Work in the field, such as the American Arbitration Association/ICDR’s Dispute-Wise studies have brought to light important revelations about the dispute resolution process. This study found that “one size does fit all” in terms of the factors that affect the design of an optimal dispute resolution process for a specific company, such as a company’s specific industry, history, culture, and size, among other characteristics.

At a company-specific level, what are the main considerations for implementing a successful dispute resolution management program? And on a macro level, what can be done to improve arbitration as a dispute resolution process that better meets the needs of the business community? Faculty will explore effective and efficientconflict resolution practices and policies as well as the ways in which arbitration can be improved as an institution.

16:00-17:30 The Lagging Acceptance of International Mediation

Although mediation has been discussed internationally as an interesting and growing practice for years, its acceptance and use still lag behind arbitration. Why is that? What can be done to have the international business community benefit more from this excellent tool? Will mediation ever become as popular as arbitration?

8:00-9:00 Continental Breakfast

9:00-10:30 Solutions and Remedies for Ethical Misconduct in International Arbitration

A burgeoning of international rules, guides, and codes are popping up from multiple organizations and associations around the world. Many of these new arbitration rubrics seek to give increased power to all involved to govern and control unethical or detrimental behavior by arbitrators, parties, and advocates. Faculty in this session will explore current practice norms that are in question and what power, if any, arbitration rules provide to control and discourage this behavior.
