We are delighted to announce the release of the second edition of International Arbitration: Cases and Materials (2014 Kluwer Law International) by Gary Born, Chair of the International Arbitration Practice at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP and the world's leading authority on international arbitration and litigation. This edition has been extensively revised and is a thoroughly international approach to international commercial arbitration (focused on the New York Convention and UNCITRAL Model Law), while providing comparative examples drawn from state-to-state and investment arbitration.
More About The Book
This casebook is based upon Professor Born's treatise, International Commercial Arbitration: Commentary and Materials, 2nd Edition, the leading commentary in the field. It features an easy-to-use and accessible structure, organized chronologically to follow the course of an international arbitration (arbitration agreements, arbitral proceedings, arbitral awards).
The book is thoroughly international, with materials focused on
the New York Convention (and Inter-American Convention), and the
UNCITRAL Model Law. Materials include judicial decisions and
statutory materials drawn from all leading jurisdictions (European,
Asian, North American, Latin American and other) and arbitral
awards under all leading institutional and other arbitration
rules. It also includes a thorough treatment of international
arbitration in the United States, under the FAA and New York
Convention.
Though directed towards international commercial arbitration, the
book also contains materials on investment arbitration and
state-to-state arbitration, which are used as comparisons to
commercial arbitration materials. The book is complemented by
Born's three-volume treatise, International Commercial
Arbitration (Kluwer 2nd ed. 2014), which provides more
detailed commentary on issues covered in the casebook, and by
Born's International Arbitration: Law and Practice
(2013).
