On 27 March 2019, CRCICA organized the Young CRCICA Forum Launch Event: “The New frontiers of Arbitrability: Expansion and Diversity”. The event was sponsored exclusively by Shahid Law Firm. Young CRCICA is similar to youth forums of other international arbitral institutions and aims to aid the younger generations by developing their skills, providing knowledge, networking with experienced practitioners, and understanding the arbitral procedures.
The Forum also witnessed CRCICA’s singing of two cooperation agreements with the Faculty of Law, British University in Egypt (“BUE”) and the Faculty of Law, Cairo University. Dr. Ismail Selim signed the agreements on behalf of CRCICA, Prof. Hassan Abdel Hamid, Dean of BUE, and Prof. Sabry El Senousy, Dean of the Faculty of Law, Cairo University signed it on behalf of their respective faculties.
Dr. Ismail Selim delivered the keynote speech, focusing on CRCICA’s role in supporting and training young arbitration practitioners. He also addressed the
topic of the Seminar, highlighting the importance of arbitrability and public policy and the debates surrounding these two notions.
The event was well attended by almost 115 attendees from Egypt, France, Syria, Ethiopia and KSA. They were young legal practitioners, judges, academics, university students, engineers as well as representatives of the banking and insurance sectors.
