About ADR Board

The commitment to Alternative Dispute Resolution on the HILSR Campus gave birth to the Alternative Dispute Resolution Board. The HILSR ADR Board was constituted as an extended arm of the Academic committee to promote interest in ADR methods given its current relevance to the legal profession. The Board was established in 2022 as an initiative to develop a culture of ADR in HILSR that enables skill development and helps us compete at the national and international levels. The Board wishes to bring a positive change in the view of society regarding disputes/disagreements not as something negative but as an opportunity. The Board was inaugurated by eminent legal personalities including Hon'ble Mr. Justice M.L. Mehta, Former judge, the High Court of Delhi & Chairman of Delhi Dispute Redressal Society (DDRS), and Mr. Tariq Khan, Esteemed Registrar of the International Arbitration & Mediation Centre (IAMC) and Ms. Iram Majid, the Executive Director of Asia Pacific Centre for Arbitration & Mediation (APCAM).

Details of the Conference/Seminar

The International Conference on Emerging Trends in International Arbitration promises to be a comprehensive exploration of the evolving landscape of dispute resolution on a global scale. The conference will commence with an insightful introduction, setting the stage for an in-depth discussion of the key themes shaping the field. The first session will delve into the technological advancements influencing international arbitration, including the rise of technology and the integration of blockchain and smart contracts. Following this, the conference will shift focus to the imperative of diversity and inclusion within the arbitration sphere. The agenda will then pivot to the intersection of arbitration and technology, shedding light on the field's role in addressing international concerns. A dedicated session will explore the changing dynamics of dispute funding, with a specific focus on third-party funding and its impact on investor-state disputes.
