The hearing

During the Moot Court Competition from 13 to 17 March, students practiced to participate in international alternative dispute resolution focusing on the theory, law, rules such as arbitration under the CEAC Arbitration Rules and ‒ most importantly ‒ on the skills involved in international arbitration. They paired in groups of two and argued a case in hearings before an arbitral tribunal either as claimant or as respondent. China-EU School of Law lecturers Dr Lionel Dreyfuss from the University of Strasbourg, France, Mag. Stine von Förster from the University of Hamburg, Germany, Nick Hallemeesch, LL.M., from University of Leuven, Belgium, Monika Prusinowska, LL.M., and Dr Alessandro Romano, LL.M., Assistant Professors at the China-EU School of Law, as well as Dr Christian Steger, Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg, constituted the tribunals. Course professor was Prof. Dr Hinrich Julius from the University of Hamburg.
