Prerequisites for admission
The student must be motivated and interested towards the study of the discipline of a process which is different from that taking place before the State judge, and that is largely used in an international context, and increasingly so in a domestic context, as a means of alternative dispute resolution (especially when it comes to business and corporate disputes).
