ADR Across the Globe Podcast with Dr Chinwe &Tony

📌📌Honoured to Engage with Leading Voices in Arbitration: The Day My Footnotes Spoke Back
By Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu.
It was surreal yesterday sitting alongside Associate Professor of Law, Dr Masood Ahmed, and Mr Andrew Tweeddale two scholars whose work has shaped my academic thinking for over a decade.

Twelve (12) years ago, as an international student navigating unfamiliar academic terrain, their writings were not merely sources; they were guides, anchors, and, at times, intellectual companions in moments of doubt.

I engaged with them diligently; reading, citing -OSCOLA 🥲😁carefully, and, to be honest, wrestling with their arguments late into the night, armed with little more than determination, highlighters, and faith.

That journey continued through my PhD and into my postdoctoral research, where Mr Andrew Tweeddale’s textbook, co-authored with Keren Tweeddale (1st edition), the leading arbitration textbook- ‘Arbitration of Commercial Disputes: International and English Law and Practice,’ became part of the very architecture of my scholarly thinking.

So, to now sit with them (thank you, podcast!) and engage directly with them (the 2nd edition of the work (co-authored with Prof Masood) that influenced my journey.

Reflecting on it, it was a full-circle moment that was both grounding and quietly transcendent.

The highlight? The stories.

Grateful to my co-host (ADR Across the Globe Podcast) Tony Guise for steering us there uncovering the human narrative behind the first and second editions: the collaboration, the persistence, the evolution. A powerful reminder that even the most authoritative texts begin with ideas, drafts, and a measure of uncertainty.

There was a moment I pinched myself, Chinwe, Twelve years ago, you were citing them and today, you are speaking with them. That, to me, is the magic of academia.

I’m especially excited to share this episode; not just for its intellectual depth, but for the humanity behind it. And yes, I couldn’t help but wish Keren Tweeddale was there too but I trust Mr Andrew will pass on my gratitude.

Looking forward to sharing it with you all.

Looking forward to the podcast session with Andrew Tweeddale and Dr Masood Ahmed on ‘ADR Across the Globe.’ Andrew Tweeddale is a lawyer and an accomplished writer of both fiction and non-fiction.

ADR Across the Globe Podcast with Dr Chinwe &Tony

📌Feedback from Mr. Paul Sandford, a retired Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Provider, regarding the new series ‘Digitisation of the Courts in England and Wales,’ with Co-hosts Dr. Chinwe and Mr. Tony Guise on the ‘ADR Across the Globe’ Podcast.

He stated “Not content with writing excellent daily posts and articles that not only help set the agenda for civil justice reform in England and Wales but also keep everyone to date, in collaborating with Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu, AFHEA, Tony Guise is now providing very easily accessible and indeed very watchable and listenable material. This particular episode focuses on “Digitalisation of the Courts in England and Wales”. In actual fact, simply to use the phrases “easily accessible” and “very watchable” is insufficient. This really is excellent content, not so much accessible and watchable as essential viewing, all from the comfort of your own home. Oh yes and not just for people in the UK.

ADR Across the Globe Podcast with Dr Chinwe &Tony

📌📌I spent part of Sunday evening with Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu, AFHEA recording the latest episode in our co-hosted podcast series ADR Across the Globe.

Our guest was Achere Cole FCIArb, UK, Director of the Lagos Multi-Door Court House (LMDC) exploring her Route to the Role, likes/hates and all #ADR things in between!

We had fun discussing the challenges and rewards of deploying ADR in a civil (and criminal!) jurisdiction. But more of that later.

We recorded the episode to celebrate this week’s 2nd Annual Multi Door Courthouses & ADR Stakeholders Summit which takes place on 15 and 16 October 2025 in Lagos, Nigeria, in person and online. Link to sign up in comments.

I am privileged to be a speaker at the conference; on an afternoon panel this Wednesday 15 October. I am looking forward to the conversations with excitement.

I will post more detail as we draw nearer but sign up, engage, learn about the how of ADR deployment - just as important as the why.

I hope to see Regular Readers at the event and make new friends too.
