The prominent role of the Center for Arbitration and Mediation of the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-Canada in the context of international commercial arbitration in Brazil is already well established, but its recognition will be enhanced by the fact that it will serve as the relevant set of rules to be applied in the 2017 edition of the Vis Moot Competition. The present commentary provides a detailed road map of the international arbitral process as contemplated from a Brazilian perspective and through the particular prism of the rules of Brazil’s pre-eminent arbitral institution. It thus provides the English reader with a valuable opportunity to consider how international arbitration is meant to function in Brazil.
