Chicago International Dispute Resolution Association
NORTH AMERICAN BRANCH
THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF ARBITRATORS
Fast Track Programme to Fellowship
Assessment Workshop
Northwestern University School of Law Chicago, Illinois, USA
May 30, 31 - June 1, 2002
The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators has recognized that the customary route to Fellowship consisting of examinations and assessments may not be appropriate for experienced Lawyers who have been in practice for at least ten (10) years. Therefore this Programme has been designed to more quickly provide the potential first two steps to the advanced level of Fellowship rank in The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and recognition of their knowledge and experience.
| The Programme/Workshop(s) consist of: |
| Step One |
Assessment Workshop
|
Consists of two days of oral assessment based on a case study of a dispute and problems related thereto. |
| Step Two |
Award Writing # |
A four hour written open book examination during which candidates are required to write a reasoned, enforceable arbitration award based on a case study which is distributed in two parts: the first part to be received at least 7-10 days before the examination, and the second part at the examination. |
| Remaining steps to Fellowship |
| Step Three |
Practical Training
(equivalent to the Assessment for Fellowship Programme |
Attendance at a mock Arbitration Hearing to take notes and draft an Arbitration Award.* Attachment to a practicing arbitrator.* |
| Step Four |
Interview
|
This is the last requirement and is held with one or more experienced, practicing arbitrators. |
# If you are an arbitrator with practical experience at writing reasoned awards, you may submit 2-3 such awards which you have written for consideration. If they are considered to be a standard equivalent to a pass in the examination, you will be exempt from taking the examination. Otherwise, you will be required to pass the examination.
* Exemption may be granted, depending on an applicant's experience. To seek advice, you should submit your C.V. to the Education Director, North American Branch The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators whose contact details will be available at the Workshop.
