Season 4 Episode 12 - The Isolation Episode
03/31/20 • 77 min
Recorded in isolation, we talk to each other as therapy. With all events and meetings cancelled or postponed, we try to simulate the ICC European Conference on International Arbitration by talking about two topics that would have been discussed on panels there (and might be this summer when it takes place): tariff wars and arbitration [TIME 11:20] and the European Green Deal (and the Stockholm Treaty Lab winners can be found here) [TIME 33:03]. We also try our best to remain happy and fun with a discussion on greetings protocol in arbitration: how do you know when and who to hug, kiss on the cheek, shake hands (or rub elbows) with [TIME 58:29]?
