This
program will compare and contrast commercial arbitration processes in four regions
of the world: U.S., Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Speakers, drawing on their
unique expertise in commercial arbitration in one of those regions, will
discuss in a roundtable format the differing approaches to pre-dispute
arbitration agreements, arbitration filings, arbitrator selection, the use of
discovery in arbitration, motion practice, hearings, and post-award practice. Contributions
from audience members will be welcomed, especially from those with expertise on
commercial arbitration in other geographic regions. The proceedings and any
papers presented will be published in the Pace
International Law Review.
