Predicting Outcomes In Investment Treaty Arbitration, Susan Franck Dec 2015

Predicting Outcomes In Investment Treaty Arbitration, Susan Franck

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Crafting appropriate dispute settlement processes is challenging for any conflict-management system, particularly for politically sensitive international economic law disputes. As the United States negotiates investment treaties with Asian and European countries, the terms of dispute settlement have become contentious. There is a vigorous debate about whether investment treaty arbitration (ITA) is an appropriate dispute settlement mechanism. While some sing the praises of ITA, others offer a spirited critique.

Sharing Research Data And Intellectual Property Law: A Primer, Michael W. Carroll Aug 2015

Sharing Research Data And Intellectual Property Law: A Primer, Michael W. Carroll

Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series

Sharing research data by depositing it in connection with a published article or otherwise making data publicly available sometimes raises intellectual property questions in the minds of depositing researchers, their employers, their funders, and other researchers who seek to reuse research data.

Leaving to the side privacy and national security …

The Diversity Challenge: Exploring The 'Invisible College' Of International Arbitration, Susan Franck Jan 2015

The Diversity Challenge: Exploring The 'Invisible College' Of International Arbitration, Susan Franck

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

As diversity can affect the perceived legitimacy of a state’s dispute resolution system and the quality of judicial decisions, diversity levels in the national bench and bar have been an area of transnational concern. By contrast, little is known about diversity of adjudicators and counsel in international arbitration. With a lack of accurate, complete, and publicly available data about international arbitrators and practitioners, speculation about membership in the “invisible college” of international arbitration abounds. Using data from a survey of attendees at the prestigious and elite biennial Congress of the International Council for Commercial Arbitration permitted one glimpse into the …
