Cross-Examination in International Arbitration for Korean Practitioners

Cross-examination has been described as the ‘greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth’ (John Wigmore, Evidence 1st ed., 1904). It is an essential element of international arbitration, and yet it is seldom taught.

Please join us on 29 November for a webinar dedicated to the art of cross-examination in international arbitration. The webinar will be specifically tailored to private practitioners based in Korea as well as in-house counsel in companies, government organisations and state-owned entities with an interest in arbitration. Participants will have the option of attending a second session in person in early 2023, at which they could put into practice the theory discussed in the first session.
