The Role, Reality and Future of Africa-Related Arbitration

“Rapporteur Reports on Conference Proceedings”
As was done for the first two conference in 2012 and 2013, selected law schools were invited to send a limited number of students to participate in the proceedings as guests of the Society. Volunteers from among the students served as attentive rapporteurs for each session. Their reports were edited by several members of the Society’s Board of Directors for publication on this Society website. Some 20 students from 6 law schools were present during the conference (class times excepted), adding their eager inquisitiveness and spark and future-oriented mindset to the energy of the Conference and enhancing their legal education. Below is the collated version of the edited reports, presented in the order of the Conference schedule. The reports were edited by AtlAS Board members Stephen L. Wright of Taylor English Duma LLP, Allen L. Hirsch of Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, and Hon. Dorothy Toth Beasley of Henning Mediation & Arbitration Service, Inc. Technical assistance was supplied by Rolanda Stroman, Erica Stoddard, and Shaw Strothers.
