The International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (ICDR) is the standard-bearer
for ground-breaking rules and procedures to ensure a fair, well-managed, and
cost-effective dispute resolution process. The goal of the recently-released
revised and enhanced ICDR Dispute Resolution Procedures was to achieve the
highest level of process efficiency, as well as to codify certain well-established
ICDR administrative practices and introduce several new provisions.
This year’s conference is organized around several mock arbitrations to
demonstrate the key aspects of the revised Rules. Corporate counsel,
arbitrators, and advocates will use a variety of hypothetical scenarios to impart
insight into how the Rules can be used in actual cases.
In addition, the much-anticipated Tertulia roundtable discussion kicks off the
conference with an examination of clause drafting. And the next day, judges
from various jurisdictions in the Americas will share perspectives relating to
their international arbitration proceedings.

ICDR and ICDR Y&I Tertulia Session:
Drafting Dispute Resolution Clauses: Practices and Trends
Practitioners around the world rely upon experience, habit, customs, policy, creativity, tradition,
and the ease of “cut and paste” when drafting dispute resolution clauses. Each new clause
negotiation and drafting can lead to drastically different experiences once a dispute arises—
the subject of this year’s popular tertulia roundtable discussions. Conference attendees will split
into smaller groups to allow each attendee to share perspectives. Summaries from each group
will be compiled and shared the following day so that attendees can benefit from all the
discussions.

Session I Mock Arbitration of Expedited Procedures
In 2014, the ICDR created its International Expedited Procedures, providing for a sole arbitrator
in cases where no disclosed claim or counterclaim exceeds USD $250,000. Parties initiate these
cases by filing detailed submissions, including all evidence then available. The proceedings
continue with an accelerated schedule towards the award. This mock arbitration demonstrates
how the process works. Participants represent the arbitral institution, the arbitrator, counsel,
and clients.

Session II Judicial Involvement in International Arbitration
Participants in the international arbitration process need to understand the key role the judiciary
plays in the fair and efficient execution of their cases. Practitioners often cite the need for the
members of their respective judiciaries to better understand the nuances of an arbitration case
and reasoning for potential judicial involvement. In this session, judges share their insights,
observations, and lessons learned as to how their practices interact with international arbitration.

Session III Mock Arbitration of Article 8, Consolidation

Administrator to appoint a consolidation arbitrator. Such administrator has the power to
consolidate two or more arbitrations pending under the Rules, or under the Rules and other
arbitration rules administered by the AAA or ICDR. Participants in this mock session represent
the arbitral institution, a consolidation arbitrator, counsel, and the clients of the cases involved.

Session IV (conducted wholly in Spanish)
Mock Arbitration of Articles 21–22, Document Exchange & Privilege
The revised ICDR Rules incorporate the essence of the ICDR Guidelines for Arbitrators
Concerning Exchanges of Information created in 2008. The tribunal is mandated to manage the
exchange of information among the parties with a view to maintaining efficiency and economy.
The Rules provide direction and clarity for the arbitrator(s) and parties in relation to the exchange
of documents—including electronic—and privileged communications. Article 21 also provides
that depositions, interrogatories, and requests to admit generally are not appropriate procedures
for obtaining information in arbitrations under these Rules. This session will focus on pre-hearing
issues. Participants represent the institution, an arbitrator tribunal, counsel, and the clients.

Session V Mock Arbitration of Articles 20 & 23, Conduct of Proceedings and the Hearing
The revised Rules make clear that efficiency is a prime objective of ICDR arbitrations, stating
that the arbitrators and parties shall make every effort to avoid unnecessary delay and expense.
The tribunal may allocate costs, draw adverse inferences, and take such additional steps as
necessary to protect the efficacy and integrity of the arbitration. The tribunal can also provide
guidance on witness testimony. This session will focus on the actual hearing. Participants
represent the institution, the arbitrator tribunal, counsel, and the clients.
