The Law and Practice of United States Arbitration 7th ed

The Law and Practice of United States 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 describes the federalization of the law and growing judicial objections to the use of adhesive arbitration agreements in the consumer context. A special edition of The Law and Practice of Arbitration was adapted and issued as Volume 31 of Moore's Federal Practice, one of the nation's leading treatises on federal courts and procedure. Moore's Federal Practice, published by LexisNexis, is one of the most cited texts in the legal world with over 50,000 citing opinions since it was first published in 1938.
