Course description

Not offered 2011

The aim of this course is to develop students' awareness about transnational mediation practice and regulation. Although the distinctions between private and public law are increasingly blurring, this course focuses on mediation in the context of international private law, rather than international public law. Comparing mediation regulation in different legal systems is important for an understanding of transnational mediation. Accordingly a comparison of mediation developments in European Union countries, The United States, Australia, Asia/Pacific and the Mediterranean will precede an analysis of transnational mediation practice and regulation. The course will be conducted in a four day intensive block of classes (from 9am to 5pm).
