ArbitralWomen is delighted to share that we have upgraded our website membership page to offer a more user-friendly application and renewal process.
In order to renew membership or to apply for membership, click on LOGIN or APPLY NOW to be directed to a new page. Existing members will be asked to reset their password for security purposes. New joiners will be asked to complete either an individual membership application or a corporate membership application.
As the new year fast approaches, now is an excellent time tocheck whether it is time to renew membership and to update profiles to reflect full skillset and experience.
Increasing visibility by updating profiles
Members who update their member’s profile in our Members Directory increase their visibility and receive potential engagements and referrals.
The ArbitralWomen Multi-Criteria Selection Tool (available here) allows a tailored search of our members and their credentials based on various criteria, including for example geographical region, language fluency, and areas of expertise, as well as the (multiple) roles our members perform in dispute resolution.
Publications are also an important demonstration of members’ expertise. Members are encouraged to take a few minutes to list them within their profile, and to upload them to the extent permitted by the publisher.

Logistics of renewing or joining as an ArbitralWomen Member

Membership term: one year from the beginning of the month following payment, irrespective of the date of payment, with immediate access to the profile.
Join now: If you are not yet a member, join us now by selecting APPLY NOW.
Renew now: if your membership has lapsed or is about to expire, renew now by logging into your account.
If membership is still valid: no need to wait until the eve of membership expiry to renew. If members renew now (individually or as a corporate member), the membership renewal is effective from the date on which it would have expired, avoiding any lapse in membership.
If membership has expired: if members cannot find their name in our Members Directory, it is likely that membership has lapsed, they can connect to their profile to verify if they need to renew.
Corporate membership:
When members benefit from a corporate membership paid by their firm, their firm must renew for them.
When members’ firm subscribed a corporate membership, they can ask their firm to add them to the list of members whose membership fees are paid directly.
When members’ firm subscribed a corporate membership but the firm does not add them to the list of members whose membership fees are paid directly by the firm, they are entitled to a discounted rate of 135 Euros nonetheless, extended to all members of the firm.
When the firm has not yet subscribed a corporate membership, encourage it to do so and to include members from your firm, regardless of whether they are already ArbitralWomen members.

Policy on Funding Moot Competition Teams
Each year ArbitralWomen provides support to a number of Teams who participate in dispute resolution competitions, such as the Vis or Vis East International Arbitration Moot by covering their registration fee.
Following are the conditions for the funding:
Any qualified team requesting financial assistance must complete an application form providing details of the teams, resources, and the reason for the requested assistance. The application form is available on the website, and may be amended from time to time as the Board deems appropriate.
The Board, through its Moot Bursary Committee, shall consider all applications received and decide which team(s) shall be supported through payment of its(their) registration fee to compete. In general, teams selected will be from different countries. Applications filed after the deadline will be disregarded.
Criteria of selection:
The team must reflect ArbitralWomen's mission of promoting the participation of women in dispute resolution, i.e. at least half of the members of a team must be women.
The team must demonstrate the need for financial assistance.
Priority will be given to teams:
who have not previously participated, and whose school has not previously participated;
who have no support from their universities or no coach;
who come from developing countries or jurisdictions which, in the sole discretion of the Board, are in the greatest need of support for the advancement of women in dispute resolution;
of smaller number of students composing the team (for example 4 students as opposed to 8).
An all-female team may be awarded the ArbitralWomen President’s Bursary if the other requirements are met.
Nothing in this Policy prevents a team, which has already received funding in one year, from applying in future years. The Board shall treat each application on its merits and in relation to other applications received for that particular year.
The Board shall effect payment to the final payee rather than directly to the team. In the event the team for any reason cannot participate, the Board at its sole option may request a refund from the organising authority, may request the organising authority to apply the funds to assist another team in that year, or may request that the funds be used to pay for another team in the following year.
Funding will, in the first instance, be sought from external sponsors, who shall be identified and introduced to the sponsored team(s). Further funding by ArbitralWomen itself in any given year will be contingent upon the existence and maintenance of sufficient funds in the account of ArbitralWomen. Each year, the Board will decide the number of awards to be given in that year. Nothing in this Policy obliges the Board to provide funding in any given year.
Although the ArbitralWomen Moot Bursaries are limited to payment of the registration fee, as mentioned above, there is nothing to prevent the chosen sponsors from providing additional assistance to the teams assigned as their "fundee", but any such arrangement will be made directly between the sponsor and the applicable team.
