The faculty is composed of highly experienced and respected arbitrators and advocates who will conduct interactive sessions intended to improve your knowledge of arbitration law and procedure and your skill in handling the difficult and sometimes subtle issues that arise in arbitration. Practical exercises address the development of written orders, awards and other documents and present additional opportunities for participants to perform as arbitrators and advocates and receive expert feedback. As take-aways, each learning module includes useful forms, outlines, examples of actual orders, case materials, comprehensive references to applicable statutes, rules and case law.
