Decennial Symposium: Disputes in a Changing World

The Decennial Symposium, organized by the McGill Journal of Dispute Resolution, will take place at McGill University on January 16, 2026. This year's panel, titled 'The AI Race and the Future of Arbitration', will delve into the transformative effects of artificial intelligence on arbitration practices. The discussion will highlight how AI is reshaping various aspects of arbitration, including research, document review, strategy, persuasion, and decision-making. As the profession evolves rapidly, it is crucial for arbitration lawyers to understand how AI can enhance their work while maintaining human judgment and accountability. The panel features esteemed speakers such as Adam Goldenberg from McCarthy Tétrault and Martine De Serres from Air Canada, with moderation by Christian Leblanc from Fasken. Participants are encouraged to join the conversation and share their perspectives on this pressing topic, especially those who are accustomed to the Canadian winter or are willing to brave it for this insightful event.
