Chicago International Dispute Resolution Association
NORTH AMERICAN BRANCH
THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF ARBITRATORS
Fast Track Programme to Fellowship
Assessment Workshop
The Programme consists of two days of oral and written assessment in small Workshop groups.
The Workshop itself consist of two elements:
- Pre-course reading. A copy of the reading list will be sent with our acknowledgment of your registration to attend the Workshops sessions.
- Two days of role playing and oral assessment. It is assumed that your knowledge is current as to the general laws within at least your own jurisdiction in North America, if not generally, on the subjects of the law of contract, tort and evidence as applicable to arbitration. Candidates are awarded a Pass or Fail based on the demonstrated ability displayed by the participant as determined from the assessment of at least three Tutor/Assessors who will be present during the Workshops. An Award Writing Examination will be given on the morning following the Workshop sessions.
