Arbitration Academy launches in Paris, in Global Arbitration Review, Alison Ross, 06 July 2011
The Arbitration Academy launched its first summer programme on Monday, with the start of a course on investment arbitration taught by Austrian professor Christoph Schreuer and a speech by Swiss professor Pierre Lalive on international arbitrators’fulfilment of their mandate. In his speech at the Paris Court of Appeal, Lalive warned that arbitrators should not delegate their power to adjudicate to a “fourth arbitrator” – namely, the assistant to the tribunal or to the chair. He also argued that it is one of the defining characteristics of arbitration that arbitrators should be appointed by the parties themselves (rather than by institutions, as some practitioners advocate).
This session of the Academy – an initiative of the French Arbitration Commitee – will run until 22 July. Out of 240 applicants, 195 candidates from 66 countries were selected to take part, although some have delayed their places until next year so that they can secure financing.
According to statistics provided to GAR, a quarter of the successful candidates are private practitioners, academics or members of arbitral institutions; a quarter are doctoral students; 5 per cent are government officials who advise on international arbitration or are engaged in related legislative reform in Abu Dhabi, Argentina, Ecuador, Georgia, Italy, Mauritius, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Ukraine; and the remainder are graduate students.
