Charles H. Brower II, a Wayne State University Law School professor who is of counsel with Miller Canfield in Detroit, will be a featured speaker Feb. 20 and 21 for a law forum in Houston.
“International Energy Arbitration” is the theme of the joint winter forum of The Institute for Transnational Arbitration and The Institute for Energy Law. Both institutes are divisions of The Center for American and International Law and focus on providing education and professional opportunities for lawyers and other professionals.
The winter forum will bring leading practitioners and scholars in international arbitration together for dialogue and insights on the key issues confronting the practice today. Visit www.cailaw.org/ita for more details and to register.
Brower will conduct a luncheon interview honoring his father, the Honorable Charles N. Brower, a prominent U.S. arbitrator who has served since 1983 as judge of the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal at The Hague. Judge Brower was called “the reigning king of international arbitration” in The American Lawyer’s 2013 “Focus Europe” supplement.
Professor Brower of Grosse Pointe Farms is an elected member of the American Law Institute and winner of the Smit-Lowenfeld Prize for 2012. The prize recognizes the outstanding article published in the year before on any aspect in international arbitration.
