Letter from the Director of ISDE
The very etymology of the word Master embodies the philosophy underpinning ISDE’s educational objective, where the student is the focal point and the absolute protagonist. All of our resources and efforts are focused on achieving this objective, which is to ensure that the student has mastered the subject matter by the end of the programme. Partnerships with the leading figures in the world of law and business, a proven training method, the personal attention of the teaching and coordination team, and all of our technical and human resources are placed at the disposal of our students in our quest to ensure that the programmes achieve their utmost educational goals and make the time and effort devoted to them worth the while. Throughout the years, we have striven and succeeded in ensuring that our students not only acquire the most up-to-date knowledge, but that they also accomplish their personal and professional development goals through
the acquisition of skills and competencies that lay the foundation for a new stage in their careers. The sum of the efforts of the ISDE and its students –without whose commitment the most qualified staff or technical resources would serve no purpose- has made us proud to see how those who trusted us with their training needs have gone on to enjoy highly successful careers and to occupy the senior positions they so brilliantly and so efficiently prepared themselves for. Loyalty to the spirit and methods that have earned us the trust of thousands of students, and continuous upgrading and improvement of our training methods, have placed us at the forefront of our field, as evidenced by our performance in independent rankings. The accomplishment of these objectives in recent years has driven us to never lose sight of the fact that our goal is the success of our students.
Mr. Juan José Sánchez Puig Executive Director

Introduction
International Sports Arbitration Moot Court
ISDE is leader and world reference in programs related to sports law. In ISDE we´re aware that maintaining the prestige and leadership of this institution in such matters requires a constant process of renewal and development of formats or ways of teaching which gives the students a greater role and utility of our programs. From these premises, the present course on International Sports Arbitration Moot Court constitutes a unique and innovative program that will allow two groups of students to live a real experience in Sports Arbitration, assisted and guided by two of the world's most prestigious sports lawyers and tried before a panel of real arbitrators at the seat of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland. This premium course goes beyond mere training and turns the student, through their involvement in the program, into an active part of a sports arbitration.

Objective
International Sports Arbitration Moot Court
The aim of this course is to provide its participants with an educational experience based on the practice of the arbitration proceedings brought before the CAS, seated in Lausanne, Switzerland. This objective seeks for participants at the end of the course to: - Understand and perfectly handle the essential elements of the arbitration proceedings before the CAS. - Acquire skills of teamwork and design of legal procedural strategies. - Acquire knowledge of drafting pleadings before the arbitration tribunals or chambers. - Acquire dialectic and rhetoric skills in their interventions before the Panel of Arbitrators. In sum, this formative experience is essentially intended to prepare its participants for future proceedings before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Course Dynamic
The course is designed so that participants can access it from anywhere in the world. Each edition of the course will be composed of two unique groups of five students each, each group playing the role of plaintiff or defendant. There will be a first session in which the academic coordinators will introduce all the members of the edition of the course and proceed to create the two groups of five students. During the first session, each group is assigned a tutor or support lawyer. Also during this first session, each group will provide the background to the case and evidentiary material which will be used to defend their respective claims. Once the first session is held, a term will be established for the group who acts as the plaintiff to submit the request for arbitration. Once the request for arbitration is submitted by the first group, the second group will file their reply and so on, until the arbitration concludes in its first phase. For this first phase, each group will have an online forum and periodic tutorials with the assigned support lawyer in order to design strategies and to seek advice and expertise on the content of the various writings and pleadings.

The forums will allow remote access of all members of the group and the tutoring will allow teleconferences to all members of the respective group with their tutor. After the first phase concludes with the filing of the relevant documentation, the parties will be summoned to a hearing to be held at the seat of the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne before a panel of arbitrators. The hearing will be attended by the five students of each group alongside their support lawyer and the hearing will develop according to the usual procedure, with opening statements from each group, the evidentiary proceedings and final intervention. After the conclusion of the hearing, the arbitrators and support lawyers will express their views and considerations on the involvement of each group. One month after the conclusion of the hearing, the panel shall render an award that will end the dispute which will be notified to each group. Each edition of the course will have two groups that will litigate in Spanish and two groups that will litigate in English. The day of the CAS hearing a gala dinner will be held with the assistance of all the students, lawyers and arbitrators.
