For Whom: Anyone interested in arbitration or conflict resolution, or in the difference between online and physical events (Lawyers, arbitrators, in-house counsel, scientists, advisors, experts, disputants, etc.).
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, online hearings have become a norm in international arbitration proceedings. This webinar will explore some of the basic differences between online and in person hearings from a scientific perspective for counsel, arbitration and witnesses. We will be hearing from leading international scientists on data and evidence that can help to inform practice on how to be more effective when engaging with opposing counsel, the tribunal and witnesses in ADR proceedings. Topics covered will includ
• Attention orientation and focus
• Nonverbal communication
• Emotional regulation
• Presenting evidence and screen-sharing
• Witness testimony and witness conferencing
• Unconscious biases and heuristics
The topic will be introduced by three leading neuroscientists, who will start by explaining some of the key differences between online and in-person arbitration from the perspective of brain and social sciences. Their presentations will be followed by reactions from experienced arbitrators regarding some of the possible practical implications of these scientific findings on remote hearings as opposed to in-person hearings, and possible tools and techniques for arbitrators and advocates to be more effective when working online, including how to best engage with the tribunal, other counsel and witnesses online. A broader discussion will follow involving all participants.
