ICMA XXI Call for Papers

​

Proposals to present papers at ICMA XXI are now invited. Papers on any subject matter relevant to the practice of maritime law and maritime arbitration of both a procedural or substantive nature are invited.

 

Papers will be presented in both plenary and parallel sessions, each made up of a panel of speakers.

 

Speakers will be invited from the international maritime and arbitration community to present, at plenary sessions, papers on subject matters of significant general interest. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else to receive an invitation to write a paper for a plenary session, please promptly notify the Committee Chair, Daniella Horton, at dhorton@hortation.com or any Committee member.

 

Papers to be presented in parallel sessions will be those dealing with more specialized subject matter than those presented in the plenary sessions.

 

Each speaker will be given 15 minutes to present the most interesting aspect of his/her paper likely to generate lively discussion amongst the speakers, panel members and fellow delegates.
