From 1-14 June 2008, the Malaysian and Australian Branches of the Chartered Institute will co-present the Diploma Course in International Commercial Arbitration in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For the past two years the course has been run by the Australian Branch in Sydney at the University of New South Wales and at the offices of major Sydney law firms. This year will be the first time that the course has been run outside of Australia with the intention of attracting more participants from South-East Asia who will be spared from making the long air flight to Australia.

The Course Director is Malcolm Holmes, President of the Australian Branch, and he is supported by the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA), the Australian Commercial Disputes Centre (ACDC), the Law Society of New South Wales and Continuing Legal Education Centre, Faculty of Law, University of New South Wales (UNSW).

More than twenty presenters and tutors – experts in their own fields - have been lined up for the course and will be travelling to Malaysia from Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, UK and USA.

This intensive residential course in International Commercial Arbitration is offered over two weeks. Participants will be taught the practice of international commercial arbitration, including all major forms of international arbitration and related dispute settling mechanisms such as WIPO, WTO and Investment Treaty Arbitration. Participants will gain the ability to appear in or act as an arbitrator in such arbitrations in different contexts.

This course is accredited for Post Graduate Law studies at the University of New South Wales and can also be done in conjunction with the Master of Legal Studies course designed for non lawyers to obtain the desired legal background.

In the first week, a series of lectures cover the fundamentals of international commercial arbitration. They follow and analyse legal concepts and issues arising during the course of an arbitration.

In the second week, the lectures will examine Trade Law disputes and arbitration under Bilateral Investment Treaties and Free Trade Agreements and other specialist areas such as maritime arbitration. Meanwhile in the afternoon sessions, participants take part in practical group workshops, under the guidance of experienced arbitrators. Students will be given practical training in the conduct of an international arbitration and will discuss a range of problems which may arise in the course of conducting an international arbitration.

The cost of the course is A$7,500 which includes tuition fees, course materials, accommodation and all meals in a five star Kuala Lumpur hotel. Places are limited.
