Leginsky, International Arbitration Seminar in Dubai

On 22, 23 and 24 September 2014, Prof. Dr. Klaus Peter Berger and Victor Leginsky present their popular International Commercial Arbitration seminar at the Dubai International Arbitration Centre in Dubai, UAE.  Please click here for more information.

Successful International Arbitration Seminar, Dubai

Victor Leginsky (left) and Prof. Dr. Klaus Peter Berger (right) conducted another successful international arbitration course in Dubai, in connection with Central Universitat zu Koln and the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC).

In the centre is Prof. Nassib Ziade of the DIAC.

International Arbitration Seminar in Dubai a Success

The International Arbitration course, that I co-taught with Professor Dr Klaus Peter Berger from Germany was  a great success!  Thirty participants from several disciplines had hands-on experience at dealing with the complexities of an International Arbitration hearing.  Here is just one of the excellent Tribunals that we drew from the participants, listening to other participants playing the part of arbitration counsel.

You can participate next year.  It will be about the same time (late September ) in 2012. 

Thanks to Dr. Berger and, of course, to Director Nassib Ziadé and the entire staff of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre for the great support. 

Remember, a sea elephant is not an elephant! (To find out why, you have to attend the seminar!)

DIFC Art

Across the street from me is the Dubai International Finanical Centre (DIFC).  It has a host of art galleries.  It is interesting to see that side of Dubai.  Please click on the images to better see them.

A whimsical piece, a small truck loaded with all manner of household goods. It had Lebanese plates.

Banks

There are over 50 different banks in the UAE, with nearly 1000 branches.  We love to hate them all.  Service is incredibly bad at all of them, and they offer few services for the service charges deducted.  (RAK Bank seems to get a better rap than most).   So I saw the following on the Internet (http://taitegallery.net/2010/06/banks.html ) and adapted it slightly to fit the locale.

1. They have great air-conditioning

2. Can read a few free newspapers and magazines while I sit and and wait

3. Did I mention the air conditioning?

Little Creatures have taken over DIFC

But I’m not scared.

Little creatures have invaded Dubai International Financial Centre.  About 100 of them.

Most are in plexi cases, so I am not worried.

This is the event; click here to see more.

Not Blogging; Studying

No blogs because I am studying for some exams in a week.  Ouch!  My head hurts!

Around Dubai

Graffiti!  Something not seen in Dubai much.  However, this art installation in DIFC features graffiti – what does “fry, fry, fry” and a deep-fried bird-house mean?  Maybe you’re not supposed to deconstruct this stuff…

And an advertisement that is normal here but controversial elsewhere … Shah Rukh Khan, the most famous movie star in the world, telling all Indian men ..  be white!  Can be tough depending on your genes …

Better stick to the animals.  Although there can be cross-cultural experiences there, too.  Here, a cat finds consortium with a goat.  And, at 30 degrees, it is not for warmth.

And a weird bird with a whacky head-dress seen in my neighbourhood

And, ah yes, the peafowl chicks.  Clearly, the dancing, prancing and preening of the peacocks has worked …

Desert Donkeys

Much attention is paid to the camels and goats in the desert. So it should be.  However, one must not forget the humble desert donkey.  Check these out seen on a recent trip to Um Al Quwain.

Something peaceful about these guys.
