Tribunal Secretary
With the inevitable presence of both factual and technical complexity in modern international arbitration cases, the organisation of hearings and other procedural elements can be demanding and time consuming.
To help facilitate these elements, arbitral tribunals are increasingly relying on the support and assistance of 'tribunal' or 'administrative' secretaries - active participants who, albeit not part of the tribunal, assist the latter throughout the proceedings with administrative tasks, including communicating with the parties on behalf of the tribunal, organising and attending meetings and hearings, taking notes or minutes, keeping time, drafting procedural orders, to name a few.
In recognition of this increasing role, the BVI International Arbitration Centre and CADRIn have designed an interactive, 2-day training course to equip regional and international practitioners with the practical skills required to function as tribunal secretaries in arbitration, in both domestic and international cases.
A certified program, the training offers comprehensive knowledge and skills, allowing delegates to offer their services as tribunal secretaries immediately upon completion.
The course covers:
- What is expected from a tribunal secretary?
- The appointment of tribunal secretaries
- Applicable laws, rules and principles relating to document production and disclosure
- Tasks and roles in the organisation of the proceedings, including the drafting of procedural documents
- Support offered by tribunal secretaries from receipt of the case file to signature of the terms of reference and through to evidentiary hearings
- How tribunal secretaries support the drafting and delivery of arbitral awards

Training 26 and 27 May 2022 in Tortola, British Virgin Islands
