International arbitration is a dynamic and often high-stakes field that brings together diverse legal cultures, sometimes leading to surprising and unforgettable experiences. These moments—whether they stem from cultural differences, unexpected turns in proceedings, or the intensity of high-profile disputes—offer valuable insights into the practice.
Yet, these stories are typically shared informally, in private conversations or during conference coffee breaks, rather than in broader professional forums where they could benefit the arbitration community at large.
To highlight the human side of arbitration practice and foster a deeper sense of community and storytelling within the field, Jus Mundi’s blog, Daily Jus, and Astute Dispute Resolution are collaborating to collect and publish impactful arbitration anecdotes—stories that have left a lasting mark on practitioners worldwide.
We invite you to share your experiences and be featured among the most compelling arbitration anecdotes published on Daily Jus. Whether you've encountered extraordinary situations in hearings, client relationships, deliberation rooms, or beyond, we want to hear from you!
Why share these stories? Because these stories reflect the rich, diverse experiences that shape international arbitration, offering more than entertainment. They carry insights, build connection, and foster a deeper understanding of the lived realities behind the proceedings.
We are now accepting submissions from arbitration professionals around the world.
Submission guidelines:
Deadline: 23 May 2025
Length: 800 to 1,200 words
Format: Submissions can be authored or anonymous
Publication: Selected stories may be published on Daily Jus
