The Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution at the University of Missouri School of Law and the ASIL Dispute Resolution and Midwest Interest Groups, in association with Young ICSID, are pleased to announce a works-in-progress conference and student writing competition. Both events focus on international dispute resolution, broadly defined.
The purpose of the conference is to help authors develop draft articles for publication, so authors will be required to submit a working draft before the conference takes place. Papers will be circulated in advance of the session, and all participants will be expected to provide detailed feedback on a limited number of other papers. The works-in-progress conference will also feature various networking opportunities as well as several substantive presentations on issues relating to international dispute resolution.
Presentations will be live or by video and include: Lady Justice Joyce Aluoch, judge and first vice president of the International Criminal Court in the Hague, who will be speaking on matters of public international law; Ryan Reetz and Pedro Martinez-Fraga of Bryan Cave, who will be speaking on their recent book, Public Purpose in International Law: Rethinking Regulatory Sovereignty in the Global Era (Cambridge University Press 2015); and Paul-Jean Le Cannu, team leader / legal counsel at ICSID, who will speak on the future of investor-state dispute settlement systems.
