Arbitration Training Institute

A Comprehensive Training in Commercial Arbitration

June 21-23, 2012 | DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel | Philadelphia, PA

 <http://www.ambar.org/2012arbinst> www.ambar.org/2012arbinst

The panel of nationally recognized industry experts will provide you with
real world insights as they walk you through the arbitration process from
start to finish. This limited capacity training will provide you with a
unique learning environment and industry contacts you will sustain
throughout your career. 

What people are saying: "The participants represented a wide range of
experience yet the group was kept small enough to allow for useful
conversation and sessions. The opportunity for advocates and arbitrators to
interact during the sessions made this an exceptional and valuable program
for arbitrators and advocates alike."
