JCAA-CLYDE&CO-TFAH Seminar 「Role of Legal Culture on Arbitration Proceedings -Current Trends and Challenges- 」(12 September 2023)

The seminar will explore the legal culture, common law, civil law, and hybrid, as expressed in contemporary procedural and regulatory trends in international commercial arbitration. While it is often said that there is an emerging harmonization of procedures and practices and that arbitral rules of various institutions have significantly converged, this session will discuss various stereotypes, and modern regulatory approaches and best practices. In particular, we will address:

 -    Inquisitorial and adversarial practices in ascertaining the law and facts
 -    Oral and written advocacy
 -    Taking of evidence (documents and witnesses)
 -    Expert evidence
 -    Approaches to damages quantification and
 -    Confidentiality or transparency.

*Language: English with Japanese simultaneous interpretation

This seminar will be held by Japan Commercial Arbitration Association, CLYDE& CO, and Tokyo Facilities for Arbitration Hearings.
