Academic Council
Since its foundation, the ITA has had a deep interest in scholarship, and nowhere is this reflected better than in its Academic Council, made up of the top academics in the field of arbitration. The Academic Council is a key constituent body of the ITA, intimately involved in its leadership, the preparation of its programs, and its publications and educational videos. It takes the lead in organizing the ITA-ASIL Conference each year, at which scholarly works-in-progress are presented for review.
