The David D. Caron Praelium: An Annual Celebration of Advocacy

The David D. Caron Praelium, co-organized by Three Crowns LLP, Columbia Law School, and King’s College London, is an annual celebration of advocacy, with two leading international advocates deploying their oratorical and advocacy skills in the service of important current legal issues before a distinguished three-member tribunal.

In 2025, the Praelium returns with Anneliese Day KC and Patrick W. Pearsall as advocates, appearing before an eminent tribunal, featuring Samaa A. Haridi, The Honorable Charles N. Brower, and George A. Bermann. A fixture of New York Arbitration Week (NYAW), and one of its most anticipated events, this year’s Praelium will be held at the historic Harmonie Club on Thursday, 20 November, with arrivals from 5:00 pm.
