The new Atlanta Center for International Arbitration and Mediation is gaining traction.

One of the world's largest international arbitration courts, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), has added the Atlanta center to its roster of arbitral venues. ICDR is the global arm of the American Arbitration Association.

The Atlanta Center for International Arbitration and Mediation, which opened this fall, is housed on the fourth floor of Georgia State University College of Law's new building at 85 Park Place N.E. The agreement gives the New York-based ICDR's clients a downtown option for hearing arbitrations, in addition to AAA's regional office on Century Parkway.
