International Arbitration Program is today a flourishing legal practice area posing diverse and unique challenges to legal practitioners all over the world and has become the recognized dispute resolution method for the international business and economic fields.

Amauri Costa will serve as a panelist at the discussion "International Commercial Arbitration in South America: Current Developments." This panel discussion will be held from 4 pm - 5:30 pm. .

The International Arbitration Program was developed at American University Washington College of Law with the purpose of analyzing the practical and theoretical issues surrounding the development of international commercial arbitration and contributing to the task of better understanding this phenomenon. The Program prepares the legal profession to face these new challenges through the following initiatives:

• By offering courses, seminars for practitioners, and workshops taught by leading practitioners in the field, aimed at providing insights of the practice of international arbitration and the handling of arbitration cases;

• Through courses for credit offered annually as part of the International Arbitration Summer Session, whose faculty will focus each year on different theoretical and practical aspects of international arbitration;

• By organizing workshops and colloquia with the participation of leading practitioners and international law experts for the purpose of assessing the formation of international procedural and substantive law and rules through arbitral determinations or awards. These meetings will permit in-depth discussions of such issues as; the rules governing the merits of arbitral disputes, the ethics and morality to be observed in the handling of arbitration cases, the recognition and exercise of human rights in arbitration, and the evolution and fashioning of international, comparative and national law.

The conference is free and open to the public, however, registration is required.
