Universities should be the place where you can go and ask difficult questions, the place where you can challenge orthodoxy, and perceived wisdom, because that’s the point, says Cahill.

#StudentSpotlight Meet Abayomi Okubote, PhD Student in Law: Harmonizing laws, preventing fragmentation. A key issue in international arbitration is its prohibitive cost.

Abayomi Okubote has an idea on how TPF can be regulated, without losing its attractiveness. Read more about his work: http://ow.ly/XNCM50CLW56
