Research and Practice in International Commercial Arbitration by
This book provides both experienced and inexperienced practitioners, as well as advanced students, with a guide to the strategies associated with researching international commercial arbitration as well as the sources associated with that field of law. The book combines instructional text with a bibliography of sources to teach readers where to find relevant material. The instructional chapters discuss the most important methods by which one conducts research in international arbitration, while the bibliography provides guidance on where to find that material. Furthermore, the book will offer tips on how to present a case to an international tribunal, which is quite different than presenting a case to a national court. In effect, the book walks the reader through the steps associated with researching and presenting issues in international commercial arbitration.
International Commercial Arbitration, A Transnational Perspective by
This innovative casebook approaches the subject as uniquely transnational law, rather than the law of any one country. It covers international conventions, court decisions, arbitral awards, statutes, and arbitration rules from all over the world. This edition includes the amended UNCITRAL Model Law, the U.S. Supreme Court decision disallowing expanded review of awards, the European Court of Justice decision on anti-foreign-suit injunctions in arbitration, Egyptian and Swedish cases on challenges, an Indian Supreme Court decision on set-aside, new U.S. cases refusing to enforce annulled awards, and developments concerning arbitrators fees, discovery, escalation clauses, and truncated tribunals.
