Friederike Stumpe, LL.M.:
Report: 4th Summer Academy on International Dispute Resolution
9th – 14th of July 2007 - published in: SchiedsVZ, Heft 6/2007, S. VIII *

International Arbitration

Following this, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Erik Jayme, former director of the Institute of Foreign and International Private and Economic Law Heidelberg, returned to international lawsuits and arbitration with his presentation of expertise on foreign law. Due to its first-hand experience he gave an extraordinary overview of typical problems focussing on the liability, the copyright of the expert of his expert report and the (problematic) use of expert reports in a different proceeding.

Finally, the participants were introduced to the practice of international arbitration by means of interactive workshops. The referees Dr. Patricia Nacimiento (Nörr Stiefenhöfer Lutz, Frankfurt), Dr. Francesca Mazza (ICC, Paris), Isabel Mulder (deputy secretary general of DIS, Cologne), Dr. Dirk Otto (Norton Rose, Frankfurt) and Dr. Dr. h.c. Herbert Kronke (director of the Heidelberg Center, currently secretary general of UNIDROIT, Rome) presented their extensive practical experiences and provided useful information. Ms. Mulder and Ms. Mazza described arbitral proceedings administrated by the DIS and the ICC and the task of each of these institutions.

An imaginative social program completed the presentations. During a reception at the beginning of the week, a lunch at a Heidelberg brewery, a guided tour and a vespertine boat trip on the Neckar the participants had the possibility to discuss and exchange experiences. The summer academy was closed with a summer festival in the courtyard of the Institute of Foreign and International Private and Economic Law.

The Heidelberg Center for International Dispute Resolution has its registered office at the Institute of Foreign and International Private and Economic Law of the University of Heidelberg.
