Congrats to those of you headed to Geneva now. For anyone in the future who wonders about class size, there is really no way that they can take more than approx. 40 students per year. Yes, the program typically accepts a bit more than that, on the presumption that several will decline for financial or other reasons. But the lecture rooms in Villas Barton and Moynier are fairly small and, more importantly, this is an intensive program that covers a lot more dispute settlement ground than a standard commercial arbitration curriculum. As such, the pedagogy very much depends on reinforcement through tutorial sessions that can't function properly with too many students in the discussion. I hope this clarifies the issue for folks in the future.
