This August, the A.A. White Dispute Resolution Center at the University of Houston School of Law is offering comprehensive commercial arbitration training.
“Any lawyer–whether trial, transactional or in-house–needs to know about international arbitration,” explained Ben Sheppard, the course’s founder and instructor. He created a course which teaches participants how to draft and enforce arbitration clauses, and how to conduct arbitrations. Graduates of the highly interactive class will receive a certificate, a thorough set of educational materials including case histories, and 24.75 MCLE hours (including 2.75 of ethics).
Tuition costs $1950. The class runs from August 16-19; if you miss it, look for another in spring 2007. For more information, call 713-743-2006.
