Objectives
The aim is to provide students and professionals with additional training in arbitration law, both domestic and international, mainly in private law. The course is of interest above all to those wishing to specialize in business law.
The DU aims to present arbitration first through its fundamentals (its history, its philosophy), then by following the progress of an arbitration proceeding, from the arbitration agreement to the enforcement of the award and any appeals. Students and professionals alike will thus acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge of arbitration, a fast-growing dispute resolution method.
In order to attract the largest possible number of professionals specializing in arbitration law, and to reach both students and professionals interested in arbitration, the DU will be taught by distance learning, via the University of Montpellier's TITAN platform.
Know-how and skills
All courses are taught by arbitration specialists, whether academics or lawyers. Professors from various universities are likely to be involved, as are lawyers from major international business law firms. Foreign practitioners will also be able to give an overview of comparative arbitration law. Papers will be presented in French or English.
