Arbitration resources—minus the scavenger hunt

Arbitration materials have traditionally been tricky to obtain. See Catherine A. Rogers, Transparency in International Commercial Arbitration, 54 U. Kan. L. Rev. 1301, 1319–20 (2006) (comparing private collections of arbitral decisions to "privileges to members of an exclusive club").

For today's Westlaw user, however, arbitration materials have never been easier to obtain. Westlaw now offers a collection of domestic and international arbitration materials—including decisions, rules, directories, international arbitration materials, and analytical publications—that is fully integrated with related information and research tools.

Moreover, you can access these materials via a single starting point: the newly created Arbitration page on Westlaw. The Arbitration page, the latest Customizable Westlaw tabbed page, contains user-friendly links to a wide variety of arbitration decisions, rules, treaties, forms, practice guides, and other primary and secondary sources in one central location.

Among the newly released arbitration materials are the following:

  • commercial arbitration awards from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) (the international division of the American Arbitration Association)
  • court-filed awards from the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
  • Japan Commercial Arbitration Association rules
  • enhanced New York Stock Exchange arbitration awards
