The Leading Arbitrators' Guide to International Arbitration-Second Edition is completely revised and expanded in this all new edition. It offers thoughtful advice and insights into the world of international arbitration from some of the most prominent and experienced international arbitrators in the world. The contributors are arbitrators from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. The contributors offer insights and advice on the way in which international arbitrations are carried out from the point of view of arbitrators reading pleadings and memorials and listening to witnesses and hearing arguments. The authors' discussions are intended to be thoughtful, insightful and useful - and perhaps, occasionally, iconoclastic. As a result, there may be instances in which the authors disagree with one another on certain points. This is to be expected for there are often many routes that can be taken to achieve a result. Occasionally, more than one point of view is set out within an individual chapter. This is a positive result of an intranet that was set up to allow the contributors to review and comment upon the drafts of their colleagues. Where appropriate, this has allowed some chapters to include something of a survey of opinion on a particular issue from a number of the world's leading arbitrators. The book will be useful not only to persons who may serve as arbitrators in international arbitral proceedings but also to those who may, in their position as advocates, wish to persuade persons -including, perhaps, the authors.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Leading Arbitrators' Guide to International Arbitration is a unique and invaluable resource. Substantively first rate, it covers the full gamut of international arbitration issues - from appointment of the panel through enforcement of the award, dissecting nettlesome issues of jurisdiction, discovery, interim measures and annulment. The volume simultaneously furnishes unique insight into the thinking of the leading international arbitrators who are the authors." --- Gregory P. Joseph is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and former Chair of the 60,000-member Section of Litigation of the American Bar Association.

"What distinguishes The Leading Arbitrators Guide from earlier writings is its practical and practice-oriented approach. Not since the 1996 UNCITRAL Notes on Organizing Arbitral Proceedings has so much expertise been garnered and made available to the international community in such a useful format. There are pointers on the selection of arbitrators and invaluable advice on acting as an arbitrator whether as chair or party-appointee. Several authors provide first-hand insight into the chair s general duties in organizing and managing the proceedings, while others focus on particular phases hearing, deliberation, and drafting of the award. Nor have the contributors neglected many of the important procedural issues that frequently confront international arbitrators, such as discovery, interim measures, and confidentiality. The Leading Arbitrators Guide to International Arbitration reveals how the best-known arbitrators exercise that discretion, and illuminates many of the norms underlying this exercise. It is sure to become a well-thumbed handbook at law schools, law firms and arbitral institutions."" --Tjaco T. van den Hout, Secretary-General, Permanent Court of Arbitration, The Hague

The Leading Arbitrators Guide to International Arbitration, is a truly exciting set of essays by some of the world s leading international arbitrators addressing the central questions confronting those involved in or studying the arbitration of international disputes. Whether as experienced or beginning counsel, arbitrator, arbitration institution, courts with arbitration cases, or student of the field, this single volume work of twenty-two essays is not to be missed. It covers in a most practical fashion with practical advice a large number of procedural problems, and certain important theoretical issues as well. This is a book not to be missed by participants in, and students of, the international arbitral process. The issues addressed in this volume are indeed the central issues of international arbitration, and they are addressed by outstanding arbitrators in the most thoughtful of ways. Their contributions to the literature of the field will be long-lasting. - --Arthur Rovine, Retired Partner, Baker & McKenzie; President of the American Society of International Law (ASIL); Former Chairman of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association (ABA)
