Commercial Arbitration

Résumé du livre

This new edition provides a comprehensive and updated overview of the law of commercial arbitration, from both a U.S. and comparative perspective. A wide range of contracts--including consumer, employment, business-to-business, and international--provide for arbitration as the means of resolving disputes. Given the challenging complexities of arbitration law, students, whether preparing for a litigation or a transactional practice, will benefit from learning about the law governing this important alternative to court litigation.

Useful features of this new edition include:

• Integrated coverage of domestic and international commercial arbitration, recognizing that students are more likely to represent clients involved in domestic arbitrations but that the globalization of the economy makes exposure to international arbitration indispensable;
• Balanced treatment of consumer and employer arbitration, promoting discussion of important policy issues raised by these forms of arbitration;
• Problems in each chapter that highlight key aspects of the leading cases and governing statutes to aid in student understanding of conceptually difficult material;
• A Teacher's Manual providing additional pedagogical insights;
• An updated Documentary Supplement available to download that contains relevant and useful materials; and
• Regular updates to the casebook that will also be available to download.
