With the guidance and direction of Professor Joel Lee, George Lim SC, and Chuan Wee Meng, participants were equipped with an appreciation of different dispute resolution paradigms, acquiring the ability and understanding of the fundamental building blocks of interest-based dispute resolution.
The newly trained mediators will be empanelled on July 6 at the special event co-organized by SIMC, SIAC and SICC during the upcoming ASEAN-Japan Special Meeting of Justice Ministers. which happens on the same day.
