The University of Miami has a long tradition of scholarship in interna tional arbitration dating back to the tenure of the Law School’s legendary dean from 1974-82,

Soia Mentschikoff. Dean Mentschikoff and her hus band, the equally imposing

international arbitration in Sweden. Gillis Wetter liked to spend his winters in The International

Arbitral Process (1979).

Mentschikoff, a pioneer of the arbitral process in the 1950s and 60s, conducted groundbreaking research on the idea of the cognitive bias involved in the arbitral decision-making process. She gathered 180 arbitrators from four occupational groups (lawyers, manufacturers, bankers and brokers) and asked them to decide a hypothetical case designed so that both parties

were partially right and partially wrong. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether professional backgrounds result in cognitive biases and a

greater or lesser willingness to agree with others.

arbitration.

The Institute also caters to a particular reality of international arbitration, namely

background into the accounting and quantum methods used in international arbitration.

The Institute will also conduct research on the 1958 New York Convention’s Drafting History in Spanish and French.

Finally, the Institute will focus on user’s criticism on international arbitration and conduct empirical research in order to move forward.

"Guidance and support of the University of Miami's International Arbitration Institute and Arbitration faculty extend beyond graduation. University of Miami was fundamental in getting my career off the ground and providing me with an

invaluable mentor—Prof. Jan Paulsson. I would not have been able to learn and grow professionally to this extent without Prof. Paulsson's continued insight,

generosity, patience, and encouragement."

Diogo Pereira, J.D. ’10

"I wouldn't be where I am without the UM Arbitration LL.M. program and the Young ICCA Scholarship. My goal has always been to spend my professional life working on arbitration. I applied for the scholarship and chose to attend UM because I thought it gave me the best chance to reach that goal. Right now, I do spend my days at White & Case working on arbitration cases, so I think it's safe to say that UM helped me get to

where I want to be."
