Please note that this program is only open to participants of the December 7 plenary session of Arbitration Advocacy.
Participants of the Arbitration Advocacy plenary session are also eligible to join us for our hands-on skills workshop, which will be held fully remotely. The workshop is your chance to practise and refine your arbitration advocacy skills in a supportive environment. You will be asked to prepare and present a slice of your submissions on behalf of either the plaintiff or defendant. You will then get practical, individualized feedback on your performance from our trained instructors. You will also learn from your peers as you work through the interactive exercises in small groups.
Please note that the workshop requires advance preparation based on a mock case file, which will be provided to you in advance of the workshop. Please ensure that you set aside enough time to prepare for the workshop, which may take up to a half-day to prepare for, depending on your level of experience.
*Due to current concerns with COVID-19, we will be offering this program fully remotely via webcast only.
