Course Description

The course, through the analysis of sources of law and cases, will give students a basic knowledge of international arbitration law. On the basis of Conventions on international arbitration, during the course, students will discover and analyze rules that govern international arbitration, starting with the concept of arbitration and ADR System. The course is divided into two parties. The first part concerns international institutions, rulemaking bodies that set out rules and appoint arbitrators, and their sources. A second part addresses the procedure in international arbitration: from the arbitration agreement to the award. Special consideration is dedicated to the legal English terminology used in the course and to sponsor students to think in a comparative juridical way.

Birinci bölümde, tahkim hukukuna ilişkin uluslararası kuruluşlar ve tahkim hukukunun kaynağı incelenecektir. İkinci kısım ise, tahkim sözleşmesinden tahkim kararına kadar geçen süredeki tahkim usulüne ayrılmıştır.
