Columbia Arbitration Day (CAD) is one of the leading international arbitration conferences in New York, bringing together scholars, practitioners, and students from across the world for an annual discussion on the challenges that drive the international arbitration community. The theme of this year’s event is "The Way Forward: International Arbitration Meets a New Global Reality". CAD will feature four panels throughout the day, a lunchtime keynote address, and an evening reception. Further information is available at: http://www.law.columbia.edu/columbia-arbitration-day. Tickets cover breakfast, coffee breaks throughout the day, lunch, all four panels, the evening cocktail reception, and all offered New York CLE credits. Due to limited space at the luncheon, however, student tickets do not include lunch. Any available space at the lunch will be distributed to student ticket holders on a first-come, first-serve basis. Persons seeking a hardship scholarship should register using the form and then separately complete their registration by submitting a scholarship request, no later than Friday, February 23, 2018, to Michael T. Lemanski at mtl2153@columbia.edu. Requests, which will be answered, should detail in a few sentences the basis of the applicant's need and the background to his or her interest. Please understand that without a complete scholarship request, the applicant may be notified that the scholarship registration has been cancelled.
