International Arbitration and Civil Procedure Law at Wuhan University is an advanced legal course offered within the International Law master’s program (taught in English) that focuses on the legal frameworks and procedural rules governing how international civil disputes are resolved through both judicial and arbitration mechanisms. The course explores the principles and processes of civil litigation involving cross-border elements (international civil procedure), including jurisdiction, service of process, evidence, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, as well as the substantive and procedural aspects of international commercial and investment arbitration. Students examine how domestic procedural law interacts with international norms and treaties, how arbitration agreements are formed and enforced, how arbitral tribunals are constituted, and how arbitration proceedings are conducted from filing to award and enforcement. Through lectures, case analysis, and comparative perspectives, the course equips learners with a comprehensive understanding of how disputes between private parties and states in international contexts are adjudicated and settled — blending courtroom litigation and alternative dispute resolution. This prepares students for careers in international legal practice, dispute resolution, and transnational business law where expertise in procedural systems and arbitration is essential.
