The new class, Dispute Systems Design, focuses on the study and practice of dispute systems design and provides students with tools to understand the structure and design choices made by organizations to resolve disputes. This includes examination of court processes and other government or private systems for managing conflict. This class is taught by Professor Dan Weitz, who is the Director of the Division of Professional & Court Services for the New York State Unified Court System.

Professor Katie Gonzalez, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, and Professor Santiago Gatica, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, have joined forces to teach a new course on International Investment Arbitration at Cardozo.  Through this course, students gain an understanding of the current trends and issues in international investment arbitration as well as the relevant treaties, international bodies, and institutions that regulate disputes between foreign investors and host states.  Students also gain an appreciation for the arbitration process, and the knowledge and skills necessary to act as counsel in arbitration proceedings involving international investment disputes.
