Arbitration & Dispute Resolution VIP Certification Exam

Arbitration — This practice exam mirrors the content domains of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) Associate and Member-level examinations and the AAA/ICDR Arbitrator Competency Framework, which assess knowledge of arbitral procedure, award writing, ethics, and international arbitration law; no single universally standardized U.S. licensing exam exists for arbitrators, but CIArb credentials are the closest globally recognized benchmark.

Question 1 of 30👑 VIP

An arbitration clause in a commercial contract states: 'Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration.' Midway through the arbitration, the respondent argues that the entire underlying contract — and therefore the arbitration clause itself — is void for illegality. How should the tribunal rule on its own jurisdiction?
