ICC YAAF: Another tub – Is it time for fact witness conferencing?

20 Apr 2023

Seoul English
Start: 18:30 (KST) || End: 20:45 (KST)

Join us for this seminar in which we will debate and explore whether fact witness evidence is reliable, and if not, whether there is need and utility for fact witness hot-tubbing. Networking drinks will follow after the session.

As part of the ICC Court’s centenary, the Korean arbitration community will explore and debate how reliable fact witness evidence is based on recent psychological and neurological studies. This will involve a discussion as to the necessity and feasibility of “fact witness hot-tubbing” also known as “Gangnam style arbitration”.

Who should attend?

  • Young practitioners in the Korean arbitration community;
  • Transaction practitioners and in-house counsel preparing for arbitration hearings; and
  • Students who are interested in practicing international arbitration.

Open to those aged 40 and under, YAAF provides opportunities for individuals to gain knowledge, develop their skills and understand ICC’s arbitral procedure and other dispute resolution services.

 

What is ICC YAAF?

At ICC, we believe that through training and mentorship, we can mould the next generation of leading international arbitration and ADR experts. Through the ICC Young Arbitration and ADR Forum (YAAF) network, we are able to better inform, connect and inspire young professionals with interests in dispute resolution and dispute avoidance.

Throughout the world, ICC YAAF organises a number of educational and social events that allow young professionals to discover best practices, discuss topical issues, network and create meaningful connections with experienced practitioners.
