Arbitration Law - 5th Edition- Stone

Arbitration Law 5th Edition Katherine Stone - ISBN: 9798887868028

The field of arbitration has become a focal point of extensive litigation in recent years, with the U.S. Supreme Court issuing dozens of decisions interpreting the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). As the Court has expanded arbitration’s role as the primary or exclusive forum for resolving numerous civil disputes, the lower federal courts have faced a surge of cases interpreting and applying the FAA. Similarly, state courts have encountered a flood of disputes involving the federal statute and its intersection with state law doctrines.

This casebook provides a comprehensive exploration of arbitration law, equipping students with the knowledge and tools necessary for both alternative dispute resolution and civil litigation practice.

The first four chapters focus on arbitration agreements in private contracts, examining the extensive body of law developed under the FAA, which governs arbitration in agreements involving interstate commerce. Chapter 5 turns to labor-management arbitration governed by the Labor Management Relations Act, while Chapter 6 delves into international commercial arbitration. Together, these chapters offer a well-rounded understanding of arbitration law’s foundational principles and applications.

The latest edition reflects the rapidly evolving nature of arbitration law. It includes recent Supreme Court decisions such as Viking River Cruises, Inc. v. Moriana and Southwest Airlines v. Saxon and provides extensive coverage of class actions and mass arbitrations. It also incorporates discussions on the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021. Notably, this edition introduces a new chapter on sports arbitration, exploring grievance arbitration in sports, anti-doping arbitration through the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and international sports arbitration before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Designed to provide a thorough and up-to-date foundation in arbitration law, this casebook offers students essential doctrinal and analytical tools for modern legal practice. The addition of the sports arbitration chapter introduces a timely and engaging topic, making this edition particularly relevant and enriching for both faculty and students.
