USC Gould Center for Dispute Resolution Fifth Annual Symposium – Bridging the Common and Civil Law Chasm (Webinar 1)
March 17, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
USC Gould School of Law and JAMS are pleased to invite you to our Fifth Annual Symposium.
Our Annual International Arbitration Symposium for 2020 was postponed on account of the Covid-19 pandemic. We offer, in its place, a series of three webinars covering the planned topics from last year. Each will run about two hours and will be free to attendees.
We have added a networking session immediately following each webinar – each panelist will conduct a separate break-out session on a selected topic for about 45 minutes following the main program. This is an opportunity to interact in smaller groups with our panelists and other attendees.
