The Arbitration Clause As Super Contract, Richard Frankel
The Arbitration Clause As Super Contract, Richard Frankel
Richard Frankel
It is widely acknowledged that the purpose of the Federal Arbitration Act was to place arbitration clauses on equal footing with other contracts. Nonetheless, federal and state courts have turned arbitration clauses into “super contracts” by creating special interpretive rules for arbitration clauses that do not apply to other contracts. In doing so, they have relied extensively, and incorrectly, on the Supreme Court’s determination that the FAA embodies a federal policy favoring arbitration.
While many scholars have focused attention on the public policy rationales for and against arbitration, few have explored how arbitration clauses should be interpreted. This article fills …

Workplace Arbitration In The Current Economic Crisis, David B. Lipsky
David B Lipsky
[Excerpt] In the midst of our economic crisis, arbitrators are facing unprecedented challenges. As the financial implosion has spread from Wall Street to Main Street, we are hearing cases that require us to decide issues the parties never anticipated when their arbitration programs were established. Take labor-management arbitration as an example. Unlike in the past, when labor arbitrators sometimes had to decide whether a layoff complied with the collective bargaining agreement, today they are addressing the repercussions of mass layoffs resulting from plant shutdowns. Similarly, in previous years, labor arbitrators frequently decided cases dealing with alleged infractions of Title VII …

Monismo Y Dualismo De Las Leyes De Arbitraje: ¿Son Todas Ellas Dualistas?, Xavier Favre-Bulle, Edgardo Muñoz
Edgardo Muñoz
Un arbitraje puede ser interno o internacional. La distinción comúnmente funda en la existencia de elementos relacionados con más de una jurisdicción nacional. En algunos sistemas legales, un solo conjunto de disposiciones gobierna todo arbitraje independientemente de su naturaleza interna o internacional. En otros, el carácter interno o internacional de un arbitraje trae consigo la aplicación de dos conjuntos de disposiciones distintos. Dichos cuerpos legales podrían abordar de manera distinta cuestiones relacionadas, por ejemplo, con el tipo de controversias y entes que pueden someterse al arbitraje, los requisitos del convenio arbitral, el control que ejercen los tribunales estatales sobre el …
