Arbitration

• Class number: 37840
• Term: Fall 2010
• Instructor: Louis R. Pepe

This course is designed to introduce the student to arbitration as the earliest- and still the most popular- alternate dispute resolution process. It will start with an overview of the history of arbitration in our jurisprudence; address its current status and operation under the applicable federal and state statutory schemes; analyze the significant case decisions construing those statutes; examine the fundamental legal principles affecting arbitration and its advantages and disadvantages as an ADR vehicle; and identify the special considerations inherent in international arbitration. Particular attention will be paid to the practical considerations on selecting and using the arbitration process, including selecting an administrator and the arbitrators; compelling a reluctant party to arbitrate; defining the responsibility and authority of the arbitrator; and seeking judicial review of an arbitration award.
