It involves a dispute about a commercial contract that gets resolved through arbitration. It’s a great opportunity to revisit 1L Contracts and it will also help you with your Sales & Leases class. For those who dream of becoming litigators, it’s a wonderful
opportunity to advance your oral advocacy skills, in the more relaxed context of arbitration (which is an alternative dispute resolution method to traditional litigation, using private judges and no juries).</span></p>
