Description:

The focus of the Diploma in Arbitration is on domestic (as opposed to international) arbitration. It is designed to equip students with the level of competence in Irish law and procedure required to conduct or participate in arbitrations between Irish parties. The subjects covered by the syllabus also provide a valuable background knowledge which will be of assistance to those who may be qualified as experts in their own profession or trade and who are consulted for the purpose of giving evidence in court or at arbitrations.

Arbitration is a private means of dispute resolution whereby the parties agree to be bound by the decision of an arbitrator of their choice whose decision is final and whose award has the legal force of a High Court judgment or order.
