TDM 4 (2008)

Arbitrator Bias Editorial Table of contents E-mail Alerts Subscribe today Editorial Team

This issue of TDM is a special on Arbitrator Bias prepared by London practitioner Sophie Nappert (3 Verulam Buildings). Everyone, whilst struggling with their own bias, has great difficulty coping with others'. We have looked at bias from both sides of the bench: how counsel deal with bias in an arbitrator; how an arbitrator deals with biased perceptions from counsel or parties - because he or she might not fit the predominant mold, be it gender-, age-, or nationality- wise, or because of perceived conflicts of interests.

podcast Michael McIlwrath conducted an interview with Sophie Nappert about the topic of this special and if you want to listen to it you can download it at the CPR website or via the iTunes Music Store by searching for "arbitration podcast".

International dispute settlement is a relatively new field of academic study that increasingly combines private and public international law and raises enduring issues of global importance. The growth of the field of international dispute settlement in practice, the novelty and significance of the issues posed, and the originality of the academic angle from which such issues need to be addressed are the factors that triggered the launch of the Journal of International Dispute Settlement. Available at a discounted rate for subcribers of TDM.
