The Third Edition of International Litigation and Arbitration comprehensively but compactly assesses the comparative advantages and disadvantages of judicial and arbitral processes. The text addresses traditional analytical issues-such as jurisdiction, proof of foreign law, anti-suit injunctions, sovereign immunity, trans-border evidence gathering, drafting and enforcing arbitral contracts, and enforcing court judgments and arbitral awards-while always keeping focus on the practical aspects that attend the international representation of clients. Teacher and Student Friendly-The Third Edition was designed by teachers for students. From its use of cases and primary source materials to its inclusion of probing, thought-provoking questions, the Third Edition will stimulate students' imaginations and test their emerging professional mettle in and out of the classroom. While the text builds logically from chapter to chapter, each chapter also stands on its own, offering teachers the flexibility to make the book work for them. Coverage of Arbitration in the Russian Federation-The Third Edition has one of the only thorough and up-to-date English-language assessments of arbitration in the Russian Federation available. Written by a leading expert on Russian law, this coverage offers students important insights into comparative arbitral law and practice. Sophisticated-The Third Edition goes beyond a mere nuts-and-bolts investigation of the key issues in international litigation and arbitration. It helps students see the underlying policy concerns driving existing law and practice, situating current norms in historical and socio-economic contexts. Practice Oriented-While providing a sophisticated approach, the Third Edition maintains a practical orientation, consistently refocusing students on the roles international lawyers play when representing clients before courts or tribunals. Single Volume-The Third Edition incorporates relevant sections of treaties and statutes so that professors do not need to assign, and students do not need to purchase, additional supplements. Everything that professors and students need is included in one reasonably sized volume. Fully Updated-The Third Edition is fully updated to account for developments through the start of 2020. The Third Edition adds a new chapter on extraterritoriality; analysis of new developments, including the current status of and policy debates surrounding state-investor arbitration law and the pending replacement of NAFTA with the USMCA; and new key cases from the United States as well as a wide range of other jurisdictions.

The Eighth Edition of this popular casebook fully integrates the most recent SCOTUS cases, including Epic Systems v. Lewis and Kindred Nursing Centers, Ltd. Partnership v. Clark, as well as a number of significant lower court decisions from the last three years. To keep pace with the rapid evolution of arbitration law, the new edition refines its organization to more precisely define issues of critical importance while retaining comprehensive coverage. In particular, the early chapters have been revised to provide pinpoint articulation of the core concepts and principles of arbitration law. Meanwhile, the later chapters on fairness in arbitration and enforcement of arbitral awards have been expanded and reworked to account for current trends in the decisional law. As with prior editions, this volume aims to be a teaching tool, allowing students and instructors to comprehensively assess the defining work of the Supreme Court while predicting when, why, and how the law will continue to change.

This efficient guide will help you see how the various pieces of arbitration law and practice fit together. Focusing on key concepts and doctrines while keeping things playful and fun, the Guide will give law students, lawyers, and anyone else interested in arbitration a firm foundation for thinking more deeply about the subject.
