University of East AngliaNorwich Research Park, Norwich
Course overview
Our dynamic LLM in International Commercial Dispute Resolution course invites you to explore how the law can assist and facilitate the resolution of international or cross-border commercial disputes and thus world trade. With the significant rise in international trade and business over the past few decades, there has been a corresponding increase in complex cross-border commercial disputes, requiring specialised management and resolution techniques distinct from purely domestic disputes. Most leading international law firms have dedicated departments for international dispute resolution, making this course essential for those aspiring to a career in cross-border dispute resolution, international trade and commerce, or trade-related government roles.
Housed in the historic Earlham Hall, at UEA Law School you will learn to think from an international legal perspective and will gain comparative knowledge of various approaches to international commercial dispute resolution. In addition to studying international commercial litigation and international commercial arbitrations, you can select optional modules, such as investment law and arbitration, Sharia Arbitration, and international construction law and dispute resolution. Ther is also an option to study a 40-credit module and then participate in the world-famous Willem C Vis International Commercial MootWillem C Vis International Commercial Moot Module (subject to the Organiser’s admission criteria for mooters).
