Sabrina Pearson-Wenger has been awarded the 2023 ICC Institute Prize for her thesis on “Good Faith in International Commercial Arbitration.
The prize, including €10,000 prize money in recognition of her outstanding work, was handed to Ms. Pearson-Wenger during a special award ceremony to conclude the 43rd ICC Institute of World Business Law Annual Conference.
Since 2007, the biennial ICC Institute Prize has honored legal writing excellence that looks to innovate in international commercial law, including arbitration. The Prize is open to anyone under the age of 40 on the closing date for entries.
A total of 27 participants (13 men and 14 women) from nine countries submitted their work for the 2023 edition of the Prize, the second highest number of entries ever received. All entries were carefully reviewed by an international jury comprising nine Council members of the ICC Institute. Given the significant number of submissions, 18 ICC Institute members assisted the jury in reading and evaluating the theses.
Submissions for the next edition of the ICC Institute Prize open in April 2024. The ICC Institute is committed to recognizing legal writing excellence to strengthen the ties between academic institutions and practicing lawyers.
