Although evidentiary hearings in arbitrations have similarities to trials in courts of law, the two are different in several important aspects.

This 12-hour course helps to understand the difference between the two types of hearing and covers how to handle witnesses in international arbitration; document production; expert evidence; privilege in international arbitration; and procedural powers of international arbitration tribunals.
