Contemporary Issues in International Arbitration and Mediation: The Fordham Papers 2008 is the second annual volume of papers on international arbitration and mediation written by leading figures in the field who spoke at the 2008 Fordham Law School Conference on International Arbitration, held at Fordham in New York City on June 16-17, 2008.
The 24 papers are organized into five parts that address investor-state arbitration, recent significant domestic judicial decisions involving or potentially involving international arbitration, class actions and consolidation in international arbitration, intellectual property and information technology issues, and mediation, including confidentiality, qualifications, M & A outcomes, the European Directive, and mediation in China. The papers focus on both practical considerations and scholarly analyses.
The collection is of interest to those involved in investor-state and international commercial arbitration and mediation, including arbitrators, mediators, advocates, scholars, governments officials, international institutions, and students.
