Scottish Arbitration Centre welcomes Dundee students

The Scottish Arbitration Centre welcomed a group of visiting students from the University of Dundee’s centre for Energy, Petroleum, Mineral Law and Policy recently.

The group of fourteen students, led by Professor Pieter Bekker, CEPMLP, chair in international law, were visiting Edinburgh to participate in a mock arbitration tribunal held at CMS Cameron McKenna LLP.

During their visit to the centre, the group of students from various countries received a talk from Brandon Malone, chairman of the centre, about the promotional work of the Scottish Arbitration Centre and arbitration in Scotland.

This is the second annual visit from students at the CEPMLP in conjunction with their field trip to CMS in Edinburgh.

Professor Bekker said: “The presence of the Scottish Arbitration Centre in Edinburgh provides our Dundee arbitration students with a unique opportunity to see an actual arbitral institution at work and to appreciate Scotland as a place of arbitration, including for energy disputes.

“The students were especially interested to find out more about the International centre for Energy Arbitration, a joint venture between the CEPMLP and the SAC. We are most grateful to chairman Malone and his dedicated staff for hosting us again this year.”
