Module 1 - Law of Obligations and Civil Evidence (Arbitration)
This course provides candidates with a robust understanding and appreciation of the key, relevant aspects of the local jurisdiction's legal system and approach to obligations and evidence that influence, shape or otherwise have a bearing on how disputes may be treated and resolved according to law.
This course is intended for candidates who have not necessarily studied law previously and who wish to gain a firm understanding of all the key elements of obligations and evidential law that affect matters in civil and commercial disputes. The course is suitable both for candidates who wish to go on to become qualified arbitrators or adjudicators and those with a more general interest in dispute resolution.
The course will be valuable for anyone wishing to understand and apply legal principles to a situation under dispute, including mediators, or distil the reasoning underlying a court's decision. The level of knowledge developed by the course is roughly equivalent to those elements of a first degree law at university relevant to alternative dispute resolution processes.
The course is delivered over six months, with a combination of private study and face-to-face tutorials. The course consists of a series of assignments and examinations.
On successful completion of the course, candidates will be eligible to progress onto Module 2 of the arbitration, international arbitration or adjudication pathways.
