Magda Pia Rani

My name is Magda Pia Rani. I am currently 23 years old. I am a law double degree fresh graduate and a holder of Sarjana Hukum (S.H) from Universitas Indonesia, and a Bachelor of Laws with Honours (LL.B Hons) from the University of Canberra, Australia. My profound interest in law is in investment law and dispute resolution, particularly in foreign investor arbitration. 

I am currently positioned as a legal intern at The Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA) in Sydney. I started to work as an intern in July 2023 and am scheduled to finish in September 2023. The given task for interns at the ACICA is involved with case management for commercial arbitration disputes managed within the jurisdiction of Australia that is submitted to the ACICA, along with legal research on arbitration cases and rules from other various international jurisdictions. 

I started my law undergraduate degree in 2018 in the Kelas Khusus International (KKI) program, which provided me the opportunity to pursue a Double Degree with the University of Canberra. The year of study in Canberra began back in 2020, and I completed the study back in June 2023. The field of specialization I undertake at Universitas Indonesia was public international law. Where during the period of my study in Australia, I shifted my interest to international investment law and international arbitration. My law honours thesis (skripsi) which I completed in Australia tackled the issue of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and its relation with international arbitration procedure, involving foreign arbitration award enforcement and execution.
