AAA Yearbook on Arbitration and the Law - 25th Edition

The Editors and the University of Houston Law Center are honored to collaborate with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and its international division, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), to continue the tradition of publishing an annual survey of important developments in arbitration and the law. The AAA Yearbook on Arbitration and the Law provides arbitrators and busy practitioners a practical, relevant and readily accessible resource. The 25th Edition of the Yearbook provides comprehensive coverage of all judicial decisions in published opinions of every category of AAA Rules since January 1, 2000. In addition, citations are provided for significant earlier Rules decisions. "Comprehensive" coverage means all "reported" federal and state cases. For ease of reference the cases are arranged in alphabetical order and are listed by the types of AAA Rules - Commercial, Construction, Employment and International - and by individual rule under each category. Thus the reader can quickly identify all the judicial decisions that discuss a particular AAA rule. The listing of rules for each set of AAA Rules sets forth the topic as well as the number for each rule, so the reader can readily identify the parallel rule in the other sets of rules. The 25th Edition is organized into two parts: Part One contains digests of important decisions of the United States Supreme Court, the United States courts of appeals and state supreme courts. We have arranged the case digests under the stages of the entire arbitration process - from the formation of the arbitration agreement to the challenge or enforcement of the arbitral award. Recognizing the important role of arbitration in the global economy, there is a separate chapter containing digests and cross-references to cases dealing with the unique issues presented in international arbitrations. Part Two contains digests of judicial opinions since January 2000 that discuss AAA arbitration rules. For ease of reference the cases are arranged in alphabetical order and are listed by the types of AAA Rules - Commercial, Construction, Employment and International - and by individual rule under each category. Thus the reader can quickly identify all the judicial decisions that discuss a particular AAA rule. The AAA Yearbook is the preeminent annual yearbook on Arbitration and Dispute Resolution in the United States. It is a required and necessary reference work for all who wish to stay on top of the latest trends, developments, cases and guidelines in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution.
