Call for Arbitrators - 2019 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) International Arbitration Moot
Call for Arbitrators
: The University of Miami School of Law will be hosting the
2019 Global Rounds of the Foreign Direct Investment ("FDI") International Arbitration Moot
competition on its campus from
November 7-10, 2019
.
The FDI Moot is an annual competition that helps future lawyers attain a practical understanding of the issues that arise out of obligations between host States and foreign investors. This year's hypothetical, which is set under the ICSID Rules, addresses interesting issues relating to provisional measures, denunciation of the ICSID Convention, multi-party claims, damage calculation and whether blocking of a social media platform/website amounts to a treaty breach.
This event - held for the first time in Florida - will bring to Miami about 350 students, coaches, and arbitrators from around the globe interested in international dispute resolution. It will provide a great opportunity to highlight Miami's growing importance as an arbitration hub as well as Florida's growing community of experienced international arbitration practitioners. The FDI Moot schedule will include several social and networking events including an exclusive reception for arbitrators and coaches as well as a substantive lecture by Professor Rudolf Dolzer on the "Fair and Equitable Treatment: Past, Present and Future."
