LAW 747LEC - Arbitration

There is a vast landscape of arbitration law and practice. In commercial transactions, and in labor, employment and consumer contexts, contract arbitration has become a norm for resolving disputes. Courts have increasingly adopted annexed arbitration programs, to which cases are diverted for early arbitration. Legislatures and courts have created a complex body of statutory and case law that governs the enforceability and effect of such arbitration agreements and awards. Attorneys working in transactional and litigation practices face complex arbitration issues, and must understand and apply the constantly evolving arbitration rules. This Arbitration Law course will combine the study of substantive arbitration law with the development of skills essential to effective arbitration practice.
