This course satisfies the training requirements for serving on BASF’s new Commercial Arbitration Panel. Secure your spot early!

Well-represented and sophisticated parties like Fortune 500 companies and professional athletes voluntarily choose arbitration. Why? They know they can choose an arbitrator who really understands their issues. They can shape their own process. Perhaps most importantly, they can actually get a prompt hearing and a final and binding decision. With this training, you can be that arbitrator!

Topics:

The solid legal basis for your broad arbitral powers and immunity from liability
How to handle and rule on procedural and pre-hearing issues, including unwilling parties, disputed discovery, and issuing subpoenas
How to manage the formal hearings, including how to effectively handle belligerent participants and evidentiary challenges
The essential elements of writing binding awards settling all issues, including different award formats
How to maintain ongoing jurisdiction where necessary
The many opportunities to gain real world experience as an arbitrator
