With two new co-authors, this thoroughly updated Fifth Edition of Arbitration provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to arbitration law and practice in the U.S. and internationally. Arbitration educates students about both black letter law and policy debates for every major type of arbitration in the U.S.—commercial (including securities and trade associations), labor, employment, consumer, insurance, medical, and religious. The Fifth Edition also provides a detailed discussion of international and U.S. law governing important types of international arbitration, such as commercial, maritime, investment, and sports. A carefully constructed teaching tool, Arbitration intersperses contemporary disputes—involving Uber’s app, Donald Trump’s confidentiality agreement, and Jay-Z’s impact on arbitrator diversity—among:

  • All the major Supreme Court cases from 1953 through 2025;
  • Current case law on new or rapidly evolving topics, such as delegation clauses, electronic contracts, mass arbitration, the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, gathering evidence for use in international arbitrations, and setting aside foreign arbitration awards;
  • The full text of the Federal Arbitration Act, New York Convention, and Panama Convention;
  • Chapters divided into short, coherent sections suitable for a single class session; and
  • “Questions to Review and Synthesize” after the reading for each class session.
The Teacher’s Manual includes a sample syllabus, suggestions for skill-building exercises, and other resources to facilitate teaching from this book.
