Overview
The Southwestern Institute for International and Comparative Law (SWIICL) of the Center for American and International Law (CAIL) proudly presents the third Dean Robert G. Storey Rule of Law Lecture.
International arbitration has long been a vital component in creating and upholding the Rule of Law throughout the world. Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were felt in international arbitration as hearings were forced to go remote. This has brought into question what impact these and other changes have had on the rule of law in arbitration, particularly due process and equality of treatment. The third session of the Storey Rule of Law Lecture Series, featuring Bernard Hanotiau, will address these important issues.
Registration is complimentary as a service to our International community. Details for connecting to the webinar will be sent shortly before the event.

The Dean Robert G. Storey Lecture Series
The Dean Robert G. Storey Lecture Series was created in honor of CAIL founder, Robert G. Storey, and in recognition of his commitment to the rule of law. Each Storey Lecture will focus on an issue of particular importance in a region of the world with an emphasis on its rule of law implications. Lawyers from around the world are invited to attend all lectures.
The past year has been unprecedented. The global disruption due to COVID-19, coupled with rising nationalism, has raised fundamental questions about the liberal international economic order and even the future of democracy as a desirable political end. For lawyers, the situation has raised fundamental questions about the future of the profession. Further, as rights have come under challenge, the traditional role of lawyers as protectors of rights and the leaders of key institutions essential to shaping legal systems is in question.
The Lectures will feature some of the world’s best lawyers who will address these and other related issues from a regional perspective.
