Nappert Prize in International Arbitration

Thanks to the generosity of Sophie Nappert (BCL'86, LLB'86), the Nappert Prize in International Arbitration will again be awarded by McGill University in 2018.

The Nappert Prize Competition is open to all students, junior scholars and junior practitioners from around the world. To be eligible for the prize, authors must:

• Have taken their most recent law degree within the last three years; or
• Have been admitted to the practice of law for no more than three years.

Co-authored submissions are permissible, but each author must meet the eligibility criteria. Also, only one author will be guaranteed a flight to Montreal for the symposium.

Prize: First place: Can. $4,000; Second place: Can. $2,000; Third place: Can. $1,000.

Winning one of the awards will carry with it the presentation of the paper at a symposium to be held at McGill University on 1 November 2018 (the expenses of the winners for attending the symposium will be covered). In addition, the best oralist will receive an award of Can. $1,000.
