COMPETITION OVERVIEW

The Competition seeks to create greater interest in the field of international arbitration among young practitioners, students, and researchers, while further developing the field with fresh perspectives. The winner of the Competition will: (1) receive a $2,500.00 honorarium from CIArb NAB; (2) receive complimentary registration to the CIArb NAB Tech ADR Summit & Annual Conference in October 2020; and (3) be given priority consideration for publication in the International Journal of Arbitration, Mediation and Dispute Management.
