With its one-of-a-kind approach to digesting arbitration awards by major topics and keying each award to the issuing arbitrator, Principles allows practitioners to easily research arbitrator’s awards to assist in case preparation and arbitrator selection. Principles of Arbitration also includes an index that cross-references arbitrators to the awards they have issued. Practitioners rely on this book to learn the experience level of the arbitrator they are considering for selection, to gain better insight on how that arbitrator has ruled on similar issues, and to research awards by that arbitrator or others arbitrators.
