This collection of essays, lectures, tributes and reminiscences
honours the life, work, influence and achievements of the late
Professor Derek Roebuck (1935-2020). He was a scholar, teacher,
lawyer, prolific author, researcher, editor, human rights activist,
feminist and creator of a widely acclaimed ten-volume series
chronicling the international history of arbitration and mediation
from Ancient Greece to the 'Long' eighteenth century (1700-1815).
The scholarly contributions embrace a wide variety of subjects and
reflect the breadth of Derek's interests, learning and expertise.
They include the rule of law, transnational and comparative
commercial law, modernisation of laws in South East Asia, leading
arbitration personalities in early modern England, two US-related
commentaries (one on mediation and arbitration in colonial America
by Derek, and one on the post-Civil War Alabama arbitration of
1871-1872), transparency and efficiency in modern international
commercial arbitration, the role of modern mediation in resolving
conflicts, and a literature review of Derek's histories. The
diversity of Derek's interests and the esteem in which he was held
are reflected in the broad array of contributions penned by
colleagues, co-authors (including Derek's wife Susanna Hoe),
students, friends and other contemporaries from an equally broad
array of backgrounds. In addition to the scholarly contributions,
the In Memoriam tributes reveal the depth and extent to which Derek
influenced, guided, mentored and touched the lives of everyone he
met. Also featured in this collection is a selection of papers
presented as part of the Roebuck Lectures, a series inaugurated by
the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in 2011 to commemorate
Professor Roebuck's ten years as Editor of its journal,
Arbitration. Two of the featured lectures are published here for
the first time. The lectures address subjects close to Professor
Roebuck's heart, such as ethics, diversity, human rights and the
historical development of dispute resolution processes. They also
include his own Inaugural Lecture of 2011 calling for a fundamental
rethink of dispute management.
