1ST ELSA Law School on Dispute Resolution in Vienna

ELSA Vienna proudly presents the:

1ST ELSA Law School on Dispute Resolution in Vienna,

which will take place in the last week of August 2012. This is

going to be the first ELSA Law School in the thirty-year history of

ELSA Vienna.

“The European Law

Students' Association

(ELSA) offers students

the possibility to

practically apply their

learned knowledge and

expand their legal skills.

In this regard, the

Faculty of Law of the

University of Vienna

supports the ELSA Law

School on Dispute

Resolution.”

Dekan Prof. DDr. Heinz Mayer

Dean of the Faculty of Law of

the University of Vienna

Dr.

Johannes P. Willheim,

Founding Partner Willheim

“Conflicts are in the centre

of nearly every legal

activity. This makes dispute

resolution a crucial topic

and gives it particular

importance.

At the same time

sociological and

psychological aspects of

conflicts are also very

important.”

“The participants will

get an overview of

different dispute

resolution techniques

(litigation, arbitration,

mediation, negotiation)

and their characteristics.

This knowledge and

skills will be convened

by leading experts in

dispute resolution,

renowned throughout

Europe.”

Prof. Dr.

Paul Oberhammer

Patron of the

ELSA Law School on Dispute

Resolution

Ass.-Prof. Dr. Ulrike Frauenberger-

Pfeiler

Head of the Mediation Department of the University

of Vienna

“The classic dispute

resolution method is

litigation. But recently,

arbitration, mediation and

other types of alternative

dispute resolution are

becoming increasingly

important.”

“International ELSA events are

always a unique opportunity to

improve your skills.

In this spirit, I would like to

share my knowledge with

you.”

Prof. Dr. Martin E. Risak,

Marie Curie-Fellow,

ELSA Alumni

Adi Bikic

Director Law School

“The outstanding academic

program will be complemented

by unforgettable personal

experience, new friendships,

cultural exchange, a great

social program and a lot of

ELSA Spirit.”
