Mrs. Ramona Cirlig was awarded the prestigious “Viorel Mihai Ciobanu” Award in the field of civil procedural law and private international law for the book “Conflict of Laws in International Arbitration”, during the 2022 Gala of the Romanian Lawyers Union. The book is based on Ramona’s Ph.D thesis “Determination of the Law Applicable to the Procedure and Merits in International Arbitration, with Special Regard to Investment Arbitration”. The book tackles the mechanisms and criteria used by the arbitral tribunals for determining the law applicable to the proceedings and to the merits of the dispute, starting from the theories, views and mentalities reflected in the literature, in the national laws and in the arbitration rules, however, especially focusing on the analysis of the arbitration case-law to identify and extract patterns, models, good practice or repetitive practice adopted or preferred by arbitrators in the settlement of the issues of private international law.
