CHOICE OF LAW IN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION

By Okezie Chukwumerije

Westport, Connecticut: Quorum Books, 1994. Pp. 219.

Arbitration at the municipal level is becoming more frequently used because it is regarded as a more expeditious process for resolving disputes. In the realm of labor relations, for instance, arbitration is often the dispute resolution method of choice and is incorporated in numerous collective agreements. In an arbitration the two parties usually select an arbitrator and jointly pay the costs of the process. In the collective agreement or contract, the parties stipulate the terms of the procedure that generally bind the arbitrator, …

Arbitration Of International Contract Disputes, William W. Park

Faculty Scholarship

International commercial arbitration has been the victim of its own success. Arbitration is often the only dispute resolution process acceptable in business contexts where parties from different countries have rejected recourse to each other's legal system at the outset of the contractual relationship. For example, when a Swedish shipyard contracts to build tankers for an agency of the Libyan government, the Swedes are unlikely to relish the prospect of appearing before Libyan courts, and the Libyans may view submission to the courts of Sweden (or of another industrialized Western nation) as an affront to Libyan national sovereignty. Neither the Swedish …

The Binding Force Of International Arbitral Awards, William W. Park, Jan Paulsson

Faculty Scholarship

A party that submits a controversy to arbitration may later regret having abandoned recourse to the courts. Once the award is rendered, the chosen arbitrator may no longer seem so wise to the losing party, who may refuse to comply with his decision. A legal system must therefore legitimize the arbitrator's authority if the award is to be more than an unenforceable attempt at conciliation.

The Lex Loci Arbitri And International Commercial Arbitration, William W. Park

Faculty Scholarship

Luke's gospel reports that Jesus once declined to arbitrate a family dispute over an inheritance by asking a disgruntled sibling, "Who set me over you to arbitrate?" Private resolution of business disputes raises a related question: whence springs the arbitrator's authority to render a binding award? A company that submits a controversy to arbitration may later regret having abandoned recourse to the courts. On the day of reckoning, the sage chosen to decide the dispute may no longer seem so wise to the losing party, and the loser might consider refusing to comply with the arbitrator's decision. Some legal system, …

French Codification Of A Legal Framework For International Commercial Arbitration, W. Laurence Craig, William W. Park, Jan Paulsson

Faculty Scholarship

Resolution of a dispute arising under an international commercial contract frequently has been plagued with uncertainty regarding applicable substantive and procedural law. These problems are not necessarily solved by the presence of an arbitration clause in the contract. In the absence of a clearly defined arbitral system, the parties can not be certain of the rules regarding the arbitral procedure or the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. By enacting a decree that specifically applies to international commercial arbitration, France has recently taken a major step toward resolving the uncertainties surrounding the resolution of international commercial disputes. The authors analyze …

Foreword, Sylvan Gotshal

Vanderbilt Law Review

Twenty years ago an article on arbitration would have been an oddity in a law review. Significant of the change in thinking with regard to arbitration on the part of attorneys, bar associations, and law schools is the fact that within the past few months several law journals and reviews have had major articles devoted to various aspects of arbitration. This new literature in the legal field serves as notice to the practitioner and to the law student that arbitration has come of age. The editors of the Vanderbilt Law Review and the faculty of the Law School are, therefore, …
