DVD-ROM
With its concrete and highly practical approach, this innovative teaching and training tool for international dispute resolution will be of immeasurable value to students and teachers of dispute resolution, corporate counsel, international lawyers, and business people.
The DVD-ROM has a large number of interactive teaching and learning features which you can use simultaneously with the books or separately. The main menu of the DVD contains seven buttons:
- ‘Parties and Persons’,
- ‘Case Development’,
- ‘Documents and Events’,
- ‘Materials’,
- ‘Videos’,
- ‘Soft Skills’ and
- ‘Links’.
The button ‘Parties and Persons’ provides an overview of the ‘actors’ who appear in the video section of the DVD-ROM.
Under the button ‘Case Development’ you will find an animated graphical Case Development which enables you to better understand the sequence of events in the first two Scenarios of the Case Study. This tool should therefore be used simultaneously with the Case Study.
Under the button ‘Documents and Events’ you will find a chronological list of events for each Scenario, together with the relevant documents produced by the xvi Private Dispute Resolution in International Business – Handbook parties during the contract negotiations, the negotiations in the Hague, the mediation (fax messages, general contract conditions, etc.) and the arbitration (legal briefs, communications from the DIS Secretariat, orders of the Tribunal, awards, etc.) as pdf files. You should refer to these documents whenever the symbol 
indicates that the document is reproduced on the DVD.
Under the button ‘Materials’, you will find the laws, mediation and arbitration rules etc. which are referred to in the book. Again, the symbol , which you find both in the Case Study and the Handbook, indicates that the material can be found on the DVD-ROM.
Under the ‘Soft Skills’ button you will find a variety of learning and teaching aids for negotiation, mediation and arbitration.
