ICC YAAF/YCAP: Persuasion on Paper: Crafting Effective Witness Statements and Skeleton Arguments
Join ICC YAAF and YCAP during CanArbWeek to debate best practices in witness statements and skeleton arguments—what to include, what to leave out, and how to balance thoroughness with strategic clarity. Some panelists may champion a minimalist, high-level approach, while others may advocate for detailed, comprehensive submissions. Attendees will come away with practical insights, examples of persuasive techniques, and a deeper understanding of how written advocacy can shape the outcome in arbitration.
Venue: Saint-James Club, 1145 Union Ave, Montreal, Quebec H3B 3C2.
Please note this event is in-person only.
