"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
