Given that our website focuses on making arbitration accessible to all, let’s touch upon free materials first:

1. Kluwer Arbitration Blog

   The Kluwer Arbitration Blog provides free access to a variety of blog posts on topical issues, written by esteemed practitioners and academics. Not only are the posts free, but they are generally shorter and less technical than journal articles, providing a quick and comprehensive overview of a variety of topics.

2. Law firms’ articles and guides

   A variety of firms publish excellent analyses of various topics, often as news articles, other times as yearly overviews, or in cooperation with arbitral organisations or institutions.

3. IA Reporter

   The IA Reporter is a news & analysis service tracking international arbitration proceedings between foreign investors and sovereign governments.

4. CIArb

   CIArb, a registered charity, is an international centre for the practice and profession of alternative dispute resolution. It provides education and training for students or practitioners interested in improving their knowledge. It offers many free sessions, as well as several courses for as little as GBP 25.

5. Events

   Many highly informative events are free of charge, see our events page for further details.

6. Podcasts

   The LCIA has an excellent podcast which you can listen to here. You can also find several other excellent podcasts on our initiatives page.

3. Queen Mary University LLM in International Dispute Resolution

   This masters degree can be undertaken in conjunction with a busy work life, and is incredibly informative in relation to all things arbitration. The two-year part-time course is broken down into four modules, two in commercial arbitration and two in investment arbitration. One has the chance to meet and network with others with a similar interest. Course fees are GBP 12,500, payable over the span of two years.

4. Global Arbitration Review

   A must - the topical content and firm profiles are really unparalleled. And where would we be without GAR30, the yearly global ranking of arbitration practices?

5. Jus Mundi

   Set up in 2009, Jus Muni acts as a database for investment arbitration decisions, treaties, and rules, whilst also adding its own two cents through its helpful Wiki.
