Welcome to new contributors
Dear New Contributor,
News, items and case summaries from various jurisdictions around the world form the basis of this project. We encourage lawyers, arbitrators, academics and other professionals from all countries to contribute to upcoming issues of the Arbitration Watch.
Types of submissions
We welcome submissions relating to the sections, “Laws & Treaties” and “Court Cases” in the Arbitration Watch. Contributions submitted relating to either area should ideally relate to national or international arbitration. Here are a few guidelines for your submissions:
Laws & Treaties: This section focuses on domestic legislation (Acts, Treaties, Conventions, Bills, etc.) enacted or signed in countries relating (directly or indirectly) to arbitration. We ask that you include the name of the new legislation or treaty, the date it came or will come into force, its scope and purpose. Special emphasis should be put on its impact to arbitration. A link to the website containing the full text of the law or treaty would also be of interest.
Examples: A few examples of contributions relating to Laws & Treaties include: a new arbitration act, amendments to existing acts, bilateral investment treaties containing arbitration rules, procedural laws on the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards, etc.
Court Cases: This section includes summaries of court decisions relating to arbitration. We ask that your summaries include the names of the parties, the court, and the date of the decision.
Examples: A few examples of summaries of court decisions falling under the Court Cases section of the Arbitration Watch include: decisions relating to the validity and enforcement of arbitration clauses in contracts, judgments relating to enforceability of foreign arbitral awards, the validity of arbitration agreements, judgments relating to a particular issue of the 1958 N.Y. Convention on the Enforcement of Arbitral Awards, appointment of arbitrators, etc.).
Format of Submissions
We ask that all contributions be submitted in English and have some relevance to commercial, shipping and/or investment arbitration matters.
Because the Arbitration watch is published on a quarterly basis, contributions should ideally relate to a law or treaty or court decision enacted or published no more than three months prior to the date of your submission.
