International Commercial Arbitration - Commentary and Materials (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)

The revised and expanded second edition of Gary Born's treatise "International Commercial Arbitration" provides detailed commentary, case analyses, and practice pointers. With full annotations and footnotes for research assistance, and analyses that identify and discuss critical issues, it should be a valuable guide to the actual practice of international commercial arbitration anywhere in the world. Among other things, "International Commercial Arbitration, Second Edition", examines the procedural aspects of international arbitration in contemporary practice; provides excerpts of representative international arbitral awards and national court decisions; and makes abundant reference to leading institutional rules as they are brought to bear on specific fact situations. It discusses in detail all leading international practices and legal sources relating to international commercial arbitration, including the New York and Inter-American Conventions, the UNCITRAL Model Law and other national arbitration legislation, and all leading institutional arbitration rules. It also expands and updates the First Edition's authoritative treatment of international arbitration by U.S. and other national courts. Divided into three parts - international arbitration agreements, international arbitral procedures, and international arbitration awards - the treatise explores each topic in detail, dealing with both legal and practical issues under leading international and national legal regimes. Through excerpts of key court decisions and detailed analysis, it thoroughly covers the role of U.S. courts in enforcing international arbitration agreements under the Federal Arbitration Act, providing a guide to the enforceability of international arbitration awards in U.S. courts and the role of U.S. courts in granting provisional remedies, selecting arbitrators and arbitral situses, ordering discovery, and otherwise providing judicial support for the international arbitral process. Appendices reproduce commonly-used materials essential for practitioners, including the New York and Inter-American Conventions, the Geneva Convention of 1961, the UNCITRAL Model Law, the Federal Arbitration Act, the Swiss Law on Private International Law, leading institutional arbitration rules (including the ICC, AAA, LCIA, and UNCITRAL Rules), and the IBA's Supplementary Rules Governing the Presentation and Reception of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration and Ethics for International Arbitrators.
