Arbitration Law in America by Edward Brunet,Richard E. Speidel,Jean E. Sternlight,Stephen J. Ware Pdf
Arbitration Law in America: A Critical Assessment is a source of arguments and practical suggestions for changing the American arbitration process. The book argues that the Federal Arbitration Act badly needs major changes. The authors, who have previously written major articles on arbitration law and policy, here set out their own views and argue among themselves about the necessary reforms of arbitration. The book contains draft legislation for use in international and domestic arbitration and a detailed explanation of the precise justifications for proposed legislative changes. It also contains two proposals that might be deemed radical - to ban arbitration related to the purchase of products by consumers and to prohibit arbitration of employment disputes. Each proposal is vetted fully and critiqued by one or more of the other co-authors.
International Arbitration in the United States by Laurence Shore,Tai-Heng Cheng,Jenella E. La Chuisa,Lawrence Schaner,Mara V.J. Senn Pdf
International Arbitration in the United States is a comprehensive analysis of international arbitration law and practice in the United States (U.S.). Choosing an arbitration seat in the U.S. is a common choice among parties to international commercial agreements or treaties. However, the complexities of arbitrating in a federal system, and the continuing development of U.S. arbitration law and practice, can be daunting to even experienced arbitrators. This book, the first of its kind, provides parties opting for “private justice” with vital judicial reassurance on U.S. courts’ highly supportive posture in enforcing awards and its pronounced reluctance to intervene in the arbitral process. With a nationwide treatment describing both the default forum under federal arbitration law and the array of options to which parties may agree in state courts under state international arbitration statutes, this book covers aspects of U.S. arbitration law and practice as the following: .institutions and institutional rules that practitioners typically use; .ethical considerations; .costs and fees; .provisional measures; and .confidentiality. There are also chapters on arbitration in specialized areas such as class actions, securities, construction, insurance, and intellectual property.
Arbitration is a method of dispute resolution in which parties agree to submit their dispute to a private, neutral third person, instead of a traditional court with a judge and jury. This private system of arbitration, which is often confidential and secretive, can be a polar opposite, in almost every way, to the public court system. Over the past few decades, arbitration agreements have proliferated throughout American society. Such agreements appear in virtually all types of consumer transactions, and millions of American workers are bound by arbitration agreements in their employment relationships. America has become an "arbitration nation," with an increasing number of disputes taken away from the traditional, open court system and relegated to a private, secretive system of justice. How did arbitration agreements become so widespread, and enforceable, in American society? Prior to the 1920s, courts generally refused to enforce such agreements, and parties had the right to bring their disputes to court. However, during the 1920s, Congress and state legislatures suddenly enacted ground-breaking laws declaring that arbitration agreements are "valid, irrevocable, and enforceable." Drawing on previously untapped archival sources, this book explores the many different people, institutions, forces, beliefs, and events that led to the enactment of modern arbitration laws during the 1920s, and this book examines why America's arbitration laws radically changed during this period. By examining this history, this book demonstrates how the U.S. Supreme Court has grossly misconstrued these laws and unjustifiably created an expansive, informal, private system of justice touching almost every aspect of American society and impacting the lives of millions. Professor Szalai maintains a blog on arbitration at outsourcingjustice.com. "Recommended. General readers, upper-division undergraduate students, and above." -- CHOICE Magazine
This book makes for interesting reading as it traces the two pioneer organizations that consolidated in 1926 to form the American Arbitration Association. The role and influence of the Association in its first twenty years of existence are noteworthy as the book covers the practice of American arbitration and the American concept and organization of international commercial arbitration. The final chapter is devoted to the builders of American arbitration.

Cases and Materials on Commercial Arbitration by Thomas E. Carbonneau Pdf
Cases & Materials covers all essential aspects of the arbitral process & are divided between commentary & texts. The book accomplishes both an informational & analytical function. Cases & statutes are followed by extensive & rigorous evaluations. While focusing principally on domestic arbitration within the United States, the work does not ignore either the cross-border or the comparative dimensions of arbitral dispute resolution. The Materials address a number of procedural questions that have arisen in practice & emphasize, as critically important, the drafting of arbitration agreements & counseling on matters of arbitration. "The book begins with considerable attention to the theoretical basis for enforcing arbitration agreements & awards. In this connection, Carbonneau respects & explains the vital distinction between labor & commercial disputes better than many judges & scholars have done. Two chapters are spent on the important issue of how federalism affects arbitration law. An excellent chapter on arbitration & statutory rights takes the reader through the doctrinal evolution of "subject matter arbitrability," both in the traditional problems areas of securities & antitrust, & in the more current hot topics of age & sex discrimination in employment. Four chapters deal with international aspects of arbitration, including a look at arbitration law in several non-American jurisdictions, & an examination of treaty-created arbitration under NAFTA, the Iran Claims Tribunal & the Iraqi War Claims Commissions. The book's great strengths are twofold. First, its encyclopedic completeness misses no major case. Second, Professor Carbonneau devotes an almost loving attention to detail in his clear introductions & carefully weighed analytic comments & questions. With grace, elegance & style, Professor Carbonneau has put together a superb work on American arbitration law. His materials would be a bargain even at twice the price." William W. Park Professor of Law, Boston University Counsel, Ropes & Gray, Boston Vice President, London Court of International Arbitration "Tom Carbonneau's 'Cases & Materials on Commercial Arbitration' is a major contribution to the literature on arbitration. ... it contains not only excerpts of the most important U.S. cases on arbitration but also extensive commentary & analysis that will prove invaluable to practitioners, policy makers & academics who are already familiar with the field. The documentary supplement will also prove immensely valuable, particularly to those who are interested in international arbitration practice. Jean R. Sternlight Professor of Law, Florida State University Director of Education & Research, Florida Dispute Resolution Center.

Law and Practice of Arbitration - Fifth Edition by Thomas E. Carbonneau Pdf
The Law and Practice of Arbitration is a comprehensive treatise about the development and practice of arbitration law in the United States. It addresses in detail the recourse to arbitration in domestic matters -- employment, labor, consumer transactions, and business -- and its use in the resolution of international commercial claims. It covers all of the major subject areas in the field and provides practical advice as well as an easy-to-read, clear discussion of the relevant case law. It represents a masterful synthesis of the entire body of arbitration law. It discusses basic concepts and doctrines, the FAA, freedom of contract in arbitration, arbitrability, the enforcement of awards, the use of arbitration in consumer and employment matters, institutional arbitration, and the drafting of arbitration agreements. It speaks of the federalization of the law and growing judicial objections to the use of adhesionary arbitration agreements in the consumer context, The volume represents the author's continuing in-depth reflection on the practical and systemic consequences of United States Supreme Court's decisional law on arbitration -- a process that is instrumental to the operation of the United States legal system as well as international business. The work continues its tradition of being the best statement on U.S. arbitration law and practice. The Law and Practice of Arbitration is a handy reference for all who have an interest in arbitration law and practice. The new Fifth Edition of Carbonneau’s treatise is built upon a comprehensive update of the federal circuit and U.S. Supreme Court cases on arbitration. The Introduction has been rewritten to take into account AT & T Mobility v. Concepcion and the American Express Merchants’ Litigation in the development of U.S. arbitration law. These decisions represent landmark USSC pronouncements on adhesive arbitration. The Introduction also contains a new section on the foundational legitimacy of arbitration in the U.S. legal system. The two landmark decisions are also incorporated into the text of Chapter 8 on the topic of adhesive arbitration. Chapter 9 on the award enforcement assesses the standing of Stolt-Nielsen in light of the Court’s recent decision in Sutter, asking whether this re-evaluation might be a de facto reversal of the earlier and highly unusual opinion. The assessment takes into account Justice Alito’s concurring opinion in Sutter. Chapter 10 on International Commercial Arbitration has undergone substantial rewriting and makes its various points more lucidly and effectively. This is also true of chapters 2, 3, and 5. Many footnotes have been perfected in form and content. The per curiam opinions---KPMG LLP v. Cocchi, Marmet Health Care v. Brown, and Nitro-Lift v. Howard---are all integrated into the text and fully assessed. The USSC’s decision in CompuCredit v. Greenwood is evaluated for its significance on the issue of Congressional intent to preclude arbitration. There are updates on how the courts define arbitration, the waiver of the right to arbitrate (in particular, the Ninth Circuit opinion in Richards v. Ernst & Young), the enforcement of arbitration agreement, with emphasis upon the curious Third Circuit decision on the matter in Guidotti, the latest adherents to the ill-conceived RUAA, the Ninth Circuit’s favorable response to AT&T Mobilty in Mortensen and Murphy, and an assessment of recent developments on the judicial imposition of penalties for frivolous vacatur actions. The treatise continues to be a highly contemporary and complete statement on the law of arbitration.
