» The term “Alternative Dispute Resolution“ - shor t ADR - refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the governmental judicial system. The rising popularity of ADR can be explained by the increasing caseload of traditional cour ts, the perception that ADR imposes fewer costs than liti-gation, a preference for conf identiality and the desire of some par ties - espe-cially among the international business community - to gain greater control over the selection of the individual or individ-uals who will decide their dispute. The two most common forms of ADR are arbitration and mediation. Par ties to an international contract may, however, also opt for mini-trial, facilitation, rented judge system or early neutral evalua-tion. Most of these latter forms can be characterized as a guided negotiation process - a process whereby two or more par ties meet with a neutral third person who assists the par ties in arriv-ing at a “win-win“-settlement of their dis-pute, i.e. a resolution with which each par ty feels at ease. According to many scholars and practitioners, arbitration is not to be classif ied as a method of ADR due to the fact that the role of the arbitrator is not fundamentally dif ferent from the role of a judge. They argue that

THE CONCEPT
The last decades of the twentieth century have seen a phenomenal boom in interna-tional arbitration, with all the hazards and vagaries that come with sudden success. Anyone dealing with business transactions crossing borders now needs to be familiar with the special features of international commercial arbitration. The f ive-day Düs-seldor f International Arbitration School aims at providing young practitioners, post graduates and advanced students – espe-cially Moot Cour t par ticipants – with the requisite specif ic knowledge. The School is based on a highly practical, inter-active teaching concept. Par ticipants get the rare oppor tunity to improve their skills and knowledge in both the law and practice of international commercial arbitration. The teaching faculty consists of some of the world’s leading arbitration practitioners. The par ticipants may accompany these practitioners on an exciting quest: the search for ef f icient and fair dispute reso-lution in a world where there is no “non-national commercial cour t of compulsory jurisdiction” - a world where the two major legal systems come together and merge. Each day will have a dif ferent theme - with a special focus on EU law and arbitration on the f inal day.

» There are two major dif ferences between arbitration and mediation. Firstly, the mediator has ample f lex-ibility in designing the mediation pro-cess. He is freed from all procedural constraints and does not even have to obey the principle procedural notions of “equal treatment” and “the right to be heard”. It occurs frequently that the mediation is structured in a “caucus session”, meaning that the mediator interviews the par ties separately and “caucuses” back and for th between them. Arbitrators, on the other hand, have to abide by the principal procedu-ral notions. The second major dif fer-ence between mediation and arbitra-tion concerns the legal quality of the f inal decision. The mediator’s decision is generally a non-binding proposal whose ef fectiveness is always depend-ing on the cooperation of the par ties.
the function of judges and arbitrators is not to decide how the problem resulting in the dispute is to be resolved so much as to appor tion responsibility for that problem.

» The UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration was adopted by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law on June 21st, 1985. The model law is not binding. Individual states may adopt the model law by incorporating it into their domestic law. About 50 states have enacted legislation based on the model law, among them Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, the Russian Federation and the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions.
» In contrast to litigation, arbitration can only be initiated if the par ties have concluded an arbitration agree-ment. The arbitration agreement may be par t of a major contract (“arbitra-tion clause”) or may be contained in a separate agreement. Irrespective of how the arbitration agreement is con-cluded, the mere existence of such an agreement leads to a major procedural consequence: A domestic cour t before which a claim is brought that falls under the agreement has to declare the inad-missibility of the procedure if one par ty invokes the existence of a valid and operable arbitration agreement.
» The CISG (shor t for “United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods”) is a stat-ute governing the international sale of goods, with the notable exception of consumer goods. It was originally signed in Vienna in 1980, which is why it is of ten referred to as “Vienna Convention”, or “Wiener UN-Kaufrecht”. The CISG has been ratif ied by 74 countries, which account for 75% of the overall global trade. Notably, the United Kingdom is not among these countries - despite being a leading jurisdiction for the choice of law in inter-national commercial contracts. Unless expressly excluded, the CISG automati-cally applies to contracts agreed upon between two par ties coming from dif-ferent member states. The CISG can be considered one of the more successful international conventions, which is largely due to its high degree of f lexibil-ity: With only very few exceptions, par-ties are free to add, amend or exclude its ar ticles, thereby customizing the law to their specif ic needs.
» How do practitioners deal with cul- tural clashes in international arbitra- tion proceedings? The four panelists which belong to the most renowned and experienced arbitrators worldwide will provide the audience with an excit- ing insight of the current best practice of combining civil law and common law approaches to dispute resolution. The issues raised will follow the order of an arbitration proceeding and also address practical issues like draf ting persuasive briefs or making ef fective oral presentations. The panelists will provide answers to questions by the moderator, comment on each other and accept interventions from the f loor. The overarching question is: Does bridging the gap between common law and civil law in international arbitration come at a high cost? One method of bridging the divide is to apply the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration which were adopted by the International Bar Association (IBA) on June 1st, 1999. The purpose of the rules is to ef f iciently and economically govern the taking of evidence in international arbitration proceedings. The IBA Rules are not mandatory. It is up to the par ties to agree on adopting the rules entirely or in par t, vary them or use them as guide- lines in developing their own procedural regime. Arbitrators are generally faced with an exciting and challenging array of procedural questions such as the following: Are the communications of in-house counsel privileged? If witness statements are used, do they replace or simply supplement oral testimony? How does one determine the burden of proof? Should the tribunal appoint its own exper t?

» Advocacy has been studied in human history for a long time. It is less a sci-ence with f ixed rules than an ar t form, which aims at persuading the human mind. In the past, both writ ten and oral advocacy in international arbitration has been largely inf luenced by Anglo-American and European lawyers. The mix of the Anglo-American style of oral advocacy and adversarial tradition on the one hand with a largely writ ten advocacy on the European continent on the other led to f lexible procedures

» The Practitioners’ Workshop, a f irst for the Düsseldor f International Arbitration School, is intended to acquaint practitioners with the “world of arbitration”. The workshop will be based on a real case brought under the Arbitration Rules of the German Institution for Arbitration (DIS) and will follow the course of a real arbitra-tion proceeding and is conducted in English. The par ticipants will gain an insight into how an arbitration proceed-ing is commenced, the selection of arbitrators, draf ting procedural orders and the preparation and conduct of an oral hearing including witness and exper t examination. The draf ting of an arbitral award will also be discussed. The workshop will be interactive with a number of group activities and active par ticipation is encouraged.
» Any arbitration is only as good as the arbitrator who is in charge of it. Phrased dif ferently: “l`arbitrage vaut l`arbiter”. Usually, disputes are either decided by one or three arbitrators. Even numbers are avoided in order to prevent a dead-lock. The sole arbitrator is selected and appointed by mutual agreement of the par ties. In case of a three member tribunal, each par ty selects one arbi-trator, while the chairman is usually appointed by the two par ty appointed arbitrators. At this stage, the following crucial question may arise: Will the par ty appointed arbitrators be truly impar tial and independent?
» The “Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards” was adopted by diplomatic conference on June 10th, 1958 and entered into force on June 7th, 1959. The Convention is usually called the “New York Convention” by vir tue of its city of adoption (or sometimes called the “United Nations Convention” af ter the sponsoring organization). 24 coun- tries originally signed the Convention, 118 states have since then joined by accession or succession. Although the United States has not concluded a single treaty on foreign judgment, it is a par ty to the New York Convention. The Convention requires cour ts of contract- ing states to give ef fect to an agreement to arbitrate when seized of an action in a matter covered by an arbitration agreement and also to recognize and enforce awards made in other states, subject to specif ic limited exceptions. Cour ts must recognize foreign awards “in accordance with the rules of proce- dure of the territory where the award is relied upon” and subject to conditions no more onerous than those imposed on domestic awards. Consequently, the Convention’s practical ef fectiveness can depend on national arbitration law.
leaning towards one or the other legacy, depending on the specif ics of the individual case and the proclivi-ties of the arbitrators and counsels. In recent years, new inf luential forces have entered the world of international arbitration with Latin-American, Asian and African lawyers becoming increas-ingly involved in arbitration proceed-ings both as counsel and as arbitrator. Against this background, the key ques-tion of advocacy will probably never be outdated: what is the most ef fective method of advocating?

» The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) is one of the f ive international organizations that make up the World Bank Group. It is located at the World Bank headquar ters in Washington, D.C. The Centre itself does not conduct arbitration proceedings, but adminis-ters their initiation and functioning. It was established under the 1965 ICSID Convention which came into force in October 1966. There are currently 156 signatory States to the ICSID Convention. The number of ICSID cases has risen dramatically in recent times: From 1966 to 1992, only 24 cases were registered with ICSID. Up to December 2008, the total number of cases registered with the Centre since its inception reached 268. A record 48 procedings were instituted in the course of 2008. The f irst claim against Germany was f iled at the beginning of 2009 (Vattenfall v Germany, ICSID Case No ARB/09/6). The explosion of invest-ment treaty arbitration marks a major transformation of both international and public law, mainly because states have delegated core powers to private arbitrators.

» The law of investment protection and investor-state arbitration proceedings in par ticular has developed so rapidly and intensely over the last couple of years that it can now def initely be regarded as an area of international law and international arbitration with a dis-tinct character of its own. However, this also means that it is becoming more and more inter twined with other f ields of law and the proceedings that are possible and going on there. Investment law can no longer be considered an exotic plant in its private lit tle garden, but has major implications for other legal areas and is itself inf luenced and shaped by them as well. The panel will – af ter a concise introduction to the evolution of investment arbitration – explore these mutual ramif ications by looking at the relationships between investment law and specif ically related areas, namely, international trade law, human rights and international com-mercial arbitration.
» The law of the European Union has seen two developments in 2009 that will have major impacts on the future of international commercial as well as investment arbitration, at least as far as member states of the Union are involved. In the famous West Tankers case, the European Cour t of Justice has ruled that a cour t of a member state may not restrain a par ty from commencing judicial proceedings in another member state by vir tue of an arbitration agreement. And in the f ield of investment law, the Treaty of Lisbon has brought about a decisive shif t in competences: According to Ar ticle 207 of the new Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the conclusion of bilateral investment treaties does no longer fall within the competency realm of the member states, but has become an exclusive competence of the Union. The consequences of these two devel-opments are possibly far-reaching and far from clear. The panel will therefore – from various angles – address the question whether this is just another step of normal progress or whether it changes the scenery altogether.
