Description
The design of mediation standards, an often contentious topic in individual jurisdictions, has come to the fore on the global stage in the wake of the Singapore Convention. Are international standards for cross-border or international meditations desirable? Are they feasible? This session will pit distinguished professionals, both pro and con, against one another to debate this contentious topic.
