LLM INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION (PART TIME)
LLM INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION (PART TIME)
This course will give you a strong theoretical and practical foundation in private international commercial dispute resolution, including traditional national court litigation and international arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). You will also gain a good foundation in some of the public law aspects of international dispute resolution such as Investment arbitration under the Washington Convention.
By becoming an expert in this challenging and complex specialist area of law, you will gain a clear understanding of why a predictable and clear legal framework for cross-border dispute resolution is essential to encourage efficient and effective cross-border trade, both between individual corporate bodies, and individuals and states.
You will learn to think from an international, rather than national, legal perspective, and gain comparative knowledge of various approaches to international commercial dispute resolution, as well as developing your research and analytical skills.
Most international law firms have a department dedicated to international dispute resolution and are constantly looking for talented dispute resolution lawyers. By studying this course, you will increase your chances of working with such firms, and in such an exciting area of work. It also increases your opportunities to work in in-house legal departments, and government legal teams that focus on international trade/business.
About
This course is ideal if you have an analytical mind and a curiosity about how law can assist and facilitate the resolution of international disputes and thus world trade.
International trade/business has increased significantly over the last few decades, and with this increase there has been a corresponding increase in commercial cross-border disputes. Studying the management and resolution of international or cross border commercial disputes (which is very different from the resolution of purely domestic disputes) is essential if you intend to enter a career in cross border dispute resolution or international trade and commerce, or indeed in a trade-related government department.
This course will give you a strong theoretical and practical foundation in private international commercial dispute resolution, including traditional national court litigation and international arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
