Bernstein's Handbook of Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Practice 4th ed

The new edition of this successful practical guide has been fully expanded and updated to include the most recent developments and to acknowledge the growing importance of alternative dispute resolution. It includes a number of new chapters to deal with topics such as sports, adjudications and professional disciplinary tribunals.

The book provides succinct summaries of relevant principles of law, such as confidentiality, jurisdiction, arbitrability, bias and conflicts, Calderbank letters and responses thereto; and identifies both the specific problems facing this area and the answers to them.

For ease of use, the work has been divided into two volumes; the first consists of in-depth analysis and comment on a variety of different areas of arbitration, and the second provides a comprehensive set of free-standing reference materials.
