Concise International Arbitration

Although the market for information on international arbitration is growing increasingly competitive, until now there has been a singular lack of a short, direct guide of manageable size that focuses on answering the essential questions that inevitably arise. The reality of international arbitration practice is that practitioners often work in an array of jurisdictions, under differing rules and different conventions. Therefore, rather than focusing on the rules of a particular institution, a particular country, or a particular convention, the article-by-article commentary in Concise International Arbitration offers the reader a swift understanding of all provisions of the leading arbitration instruments.Concise International Arbitration is part of Kluwer Law International s Concise series. These publications have proven enormously valuable to busy practitioners who require a succinct, accessible and authoritative commentary on the most commonly-used instruments, unencumbered by dense legal argument. Each book in the series breaks down the relevant texts by article and by each paragraph of the article, followed by one or more notes. The intention is to give the reader a rapid appreciation of the meaning and effect of each provision and to point in the right direction should further information (e.g., case law) be needed.In this book, key practitioners offer clear, to-the-point commentary on the following arbitral instruments: New York Convention; ICSID Convention; UNCITRAL Rules; ICSID Rules; ICC Rules; LCIA Rules; AAA-ICDR Rules; CIETAC Rules; UNCITRAL Model Law; Chinese Arbitration Law 1994; English Arbitration Act 1996; French Code of Civil Procedure 1976; and Swiss Private International Law Act 1989.As a reliable, quick-reference tool in situations where the reader is not closely familiar with, or needs to be reminded of the effect of a particular legal provision and how it relates to other provisions, Concise International Arbitration is unmatched. It will be greatly appreciated by courts, arbitrators, counsel to arbitration, attorneys, in-house lawyers, arbitration institutions, and academics.xvi, 1115 hl.. ; 19 cm

Mandatory Rules of Law in International Arbitration

The notion of mandatory rules of law has long been of interest in private international law. It is no wonder that the subject has also emerged as something of a preoccupation of those who are involved in the world of international commercial arbitration. As both legal academics and international arbitrators, the editors of this book took a keen interest in how mandatory rules might “fit” into the international arbitration picture. To better understand the phenomenon of mandatory rules (and to gauge whether its importance might possibly even be exaggerated in the international arbitral context), the editors convened at Columbia Law School at a workshop under the joint auspices of Columbia and the School of International Arbitration at Queen Mary University of London. The workshop gathered a small number of leading academics and practitioners to consider whether the notion of mandatory rules of law has a place in international arbitration and, if so, how it might best be accommodated.https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1333/thumbnail.jp
