Transnational litigation: Cross-border litigation and international arbitration

In 2023, between 17-22 July, the Summer School on “Cross-border litigation and international arbitration” will take place in Ravenna (and online).

The Ravenna Campus of the Department of Juridical Sciences of the University of Bologna (Italy) has been very active, in the past years, in the organisation of Summer Schools dedicated to issues of International, European and Comparative law.

In this context, since 2019, Prof. Michele Angelo Lupoi has started a Program on Cross-Border Disputes, dedicated to the organization of summer schools, conferences, webinars on issues of transnational civil litigation.

As a matter of fact, the relevance of cross-border civil litigation is growing.

This year’s program looks at cross-border litigation from a wider perspective, embracing for the first time also international arbitration.

While at the core of the program still lies the European space of justice, with its private and procedural international law regulations, the comparative and international perspectives are strengthened, with several lecturers from Third States.

As usual, the approach is both theoretical and practical: as a matter of fact, Saturday 22 July session includes workshops which will involve the participants in the solution of cases and problems.

The Faculty of the Summer School is composed of experts from different jurisdictions with very diverse professional backgrounds.

The Director of the School is Prof. Michele Angelo Lupoi, who teaches Civil Procedural Law and European Judicial Cooperation at the University of Bologna.
The Vice-Director of the School is Marco Farina, Adjunct Professor of Civil Procedural Law at University of Rome La Sapienza and L.U.I.S.S. Guido Carli of Rome.

The Summer School is aimed at law students as well as law graduates and law practitioners who want to obtain a specialised knowledge in the increasingly relevant area of transnational civil law.

The lectures will be held in a blended way, both in person and online.

The Ravenna Bar Association will grant 20 formative credits to Italian lawyers who participate in the Summer School
