About the Book:
Formed in 2001, the College of Commercial Arbitrators is a non-profit organization composed of prominent, experienced commercial arbitrators who believe that a national association of commercial arbitrators can provide a meaningful contribution to the profession, to the public, and to the businesses and lawyers who depend on arbitration as a primary means of dispute resolution. Its mission includes promoting professionalism and high ethical practice in commercial arbitration, adopting and maintaining standards of conduct, providing peer training and professional development, and developing and publishing “best practices” materials. The present work is the College’s principal vehicle for fulfilling several aspects of its mission. Many seasoned and knowledgeable practitioners generously contributed their time and insights to the creation of this Guide.
Praise for The CCA Guide to Best Practices in Commercial Arbitration
“While chiefly addressed to arbitrators, it will also serve advocates well. In addition to other attributes, this book examines contemporary topics which are not typically discussed such as Class Actions, Encouraging Mediation and Other Settlement Efforts, and Addressing Arbitrator Performance Problems. Highly readable and very useful.”
– William K. Slate, President and CEO, American Arbitration Association (AAA)
“At a time when concerns about costs, delays and results in commercial arbitration continue to dominate current discourse, it is critical for arbitrators and counsel to take the lead in addressing these concerns with realistic and practical solutions. The College of Commercial Arbitrators Guide to Best Practices is not only an important contribution to the literature, but a significant step in the direction of responsible stewardship by those active in the field. It should be an essential addition to the practitioner’s library.”
- Thomas J. Stipanowich, Academic Director, Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution; Professor of Law, Pepperdine School of Law, Former President and CEO, CPR Institute
