Seminar on International Contracts & Arbitration

The Seminar on International Contracts & Arbitration, which will be organised for the last time in Spring 2023, deals with typical issues of disputes arising in connection with international contracts and their resolution in arbitral proceedings. The first part of the Seminar comprises several lecture-type sessions (March 2023), which will discuss the fundamentals of international contracts and arbitration (with external experts). The second part includes a moot court arbitration proceeding based on a practical case of international contracts (April/May 2023). Students may now pre-register for the Seminar by e-mail on a "first come first served" basis. Those who have successfully enrolled for the Seminar will receive all relevant information and reading materials by e-mail and/or on Moodle by December.
