An eighteen-member delegation from the Law School of Stanford University visited CIETAC on August 14, 2008. Mr. Yu Jianlong, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of CIETAC received the visit together with relevant CIETAC staff members.
"As CIETAC is among the most important arbitration institutions in the world", said Prof. Gechlik, the head of the delegation, "many law students of Stanford had longed to pay a visit to this renowned Chinese institution".
Mr. Yu Jianlong briefed the delegation about the history, the organization, and the categories of cases arbitrated by CIETAC. He also introduced the development made by CIETAC in recent years by quoting certain statistics. His introduction aroused the students' interest, which led to questions concerning when and why CIETAC was established£¬the qualifications to be a CIETAC arbitrator, procedure of interim measures, enforcement of arbitral awards as well as the competitiveness of CIETAC arbitration fees etc. CIETAC representatives answered their questions and had interactive discussions with the delegation.
Prof. Gechlic summarized that they were very much impressed with the meeting. They thought such discussions helped the students get a clearer picture of CIETAC arbitration and Chinese arbitration practice. They also expressed their hope to have internship opportunities with CIETAC in the future.
