Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is increasingly being utilized to resolve disputes that would otherwise result in litigation. One of the primary reasons that parties may prefer to resolve their differences via ADR is that, unlike adversarial litigation, ADR procedures are often collaborative and allow the parties to understand each other's positions. ADR also allows the parties to come up with more creative solutions that a court may not be legally allowed to impose.

I learnt so much about the practicalities of ADR. Being used to classroom knowledge of ADR, this virtual internship was a new learning curve and an eye-opener to the tasks that an intern/ Junior Associate typically perofrms in the field of dispute resolution. It has been an experience of a lifetime!

The assignment of drafting a provisional list of issues for an arbitration proceedings. It was engaging and educational for several reasons.Overall, this assignment is valuable for its practical application, development of critical legal skills, and the comprehensive approach it requires to address both substantive and procedural aspects of arbitration.

I am very excited about the experience and how the program was organised because it provided a foundational understanding of practical issues that an arbitrator practitioner may face and broadened my knowledge of arbitration. I would recommend this programme to anyone interested in pursuing a career in arbitration.
