Professor Horacio Grigera Naón, Director of the Center on International Commercial Arbitration at American University Washington College of Law, has recently been recognized by Best Lawyers as 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” in the practice areas of International Commercial and Investment Arbitration in Washington D.C.

Costs are among the issues that the critics of international arbitration allege to justify the need to reform it. However, cognitive illusions and unfounded intuition can wreak havoc without understanding the real state of play. The field of investment arbitration is fraught with challenges, as there are many deeply held beliefs while access to objective data to test assumptions is very limited.

The American University Washington College of Law's Thirteenth Annual Lecture on International Commercial Arbitration: Balance and Proportionality in International Arbitration: Connecting the How to the Why is presented by William (Rusty) Park, Professor of Law at Boston University.

AUWCL Professor Susan Franck, chair of the Institute for Transnational Arbitration (ITA) Academic Council, helped create and will be the final speaker at the ITA’s conference on “Diversity and Inclusion in International Arbitration" Wednesday, April 4, 2018.
