This two-day intensive masterclass programme focuses on what lawyers, arbitrators and cross-border trading companies and merchants need to know about the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation, UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules and UNCITRAL Conciliation Rules. It will develop participants’ understanding of the aforementioned UNCITRAL instruments and further substantiate their understanding of the prevailing principles and practice in international arbitration and cross-border dispute resolution.

There are two modules in the programme. Module 1 consists of one-day interactive lectures and workshops on UNCITRAL instruments on international arbitration and dispute resolution; and Module 2 is the CIArb EAB Entry Course.

Participants who complete both Modules will be awarded a certificate of attendance issued by the organiser(s). Those who pass the assessments in Module 2 will be eligible to apply for Associate grade of CIArb (which is the first grade). Further information about the CIArb courses can be found at www.ciarb.org .
