Law - International Arbitration, Micro-Credential
|
|
The Micro-credential in International Arbitration will focus on subjects relating to the settlement of disputes outside of national courts and before arbitral fora, and will include specific courses on how to structure international transactions to prepare for arbitration, the practice and theory of international arbitration, and substantive international law related to state-to-state and investor-state arbitration. Credits taken in this micro-credential will also count toward the student’s general LL.M. degree. Because all Micro-credit courses are also regular law school courses, and because the LL.M. degree is usually completed within 12 months, there is no limit on the number of credits that can count toward both a Micro-credential and the general LL.M degree. All Micro-Credential credits earned (with a grade of C or higher) will be valid to court toward the LL.M. degree for two years. 9 required credits for the micro-credential.

Curriculum:
Completion of this micro-credential requires that students take at least nine credit hours, with a grade of C or higher, in courses drawn from each of the following three rubrics as well as an internship/externship:
International Law
Public International Law or, if not offered in a given term, or another course approved by the CILE Executive Director that provide a comparable introduction to commercial and business law.
Commercial Law:
International Business Transactions or, if not offered in a given term, or another course approved by the CILE Executive Director that provide a comparable introduction to commercial and business law.
Dispute Resolution:
International Commercial Arbitration, The Practice of International Litigation and Arbitration, or another course approved by the CILE Executive Director that provide a comparable introduction to one or more forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Internship/Externship:
An off-campus internship/externship approved by the CILE Executive Director that provides a practical and skills-based introduction to international arbitration.
Unlike other Law micro-credentials, this one will require an externship or internship for credit. CILE has relationships with a number of externship providers in this field who offer regular, academic-year externships to students so long as those students are earning credit for the work. Satisfaction of the micro-credential will require each student to secure and complete one of these programs, or another suitable externship in the field of international arbitration.
