Methodology and philosophy

Arbitration & dispute resolution education is vital to industry practitioners and professionals today. It is a crucial tool for doing business and managing legal risks. 

For legal and arbitration practitioners, they are often well versed with hands-on and practical issues. However, they still require theoretical understanding to correct some or most of their misunderstanding! This is exactly why academic component is very important. On the other hand, academic & theoretical elements alone can be idealistic and impractical. Hence, practical contents are integral part of our courses. We combined the best of both worlds and this is unique. The development of our courses is the result of contribution from our members - directors, advisers and panel arbitrators/mediators; coming from legal, academia and professional background. 

Attendees are called "Participants", not "students" whereas lecturers are "Course Leaders". This is basing on our belief that professionals are not students but participating in a higher form of learning and education. Likewise we belief that the faculty members should not teach but engage in leading the learning process. 

Our education programmes are Learner Centred and "Socratic". Instead of "tutor led", participants are encouraged and expected to be involved in active learning. Even if one choose not to, we will still expect him/her to.
