Correspondence Course and Handbooks

Correspondence Course in Arbitration

The ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. offers a correspondence course in arbitration at an extremely economical rate for individuals who prefer self-learning or are unable to attend local courses.

This two-part correspondence program is designed for those with post-secondary education. Lawyers admitted to the bar in Canada do NOT have to complete Part I of the course however a law degree or training in arbitration is not essential. The 27 lessons that comprise the program cover concepts and procedures of contract and tort law, arbitration acts and procedures, evidence and court control of arbitration.

Students must complete one assignment each month. These are marked by ADR Canada members who are practicing and experienced arbitrators. The course culminates in a case study where students must apply their skill and newly acquired knowledge to a practical arbitration problem.

PART 1— Part 1 of the program is designed to provide non-lawyers with an understanding of the law of contracts and torts, and an introduction to commercial arbitration statutes. After completing each of the assigned chapters, students must complete and submit an assignment. After all assignments have been completed, an exam must be written.

PART 2— Part 2 provides members of the legal profession and graduates of Part 1 with detailed information on the appointment, authority and role of the arbitrator; steps involved in the arbitration process; rules of evidence; and arbitration awards. As in Part 1 of the correspondence program, each lesson is followed by an assignment. After all assignments have been completed an exam must be written.

Those who are not members of the legal profession must complete the first part of the correspondence program successfully before enrolling in Part 2
