Restatement on International Commercial Arbitration

The American Law Institute has recently approved the first ever Restatement on International Commercial Arbitration. This is one of the most important international projects that the ALI has undertaken in decades. The Reporter for the Restatement will be George Bermann (Columbia) and the Associate Reporters will be Jack Coe (Pepperdine), Catherine Rogers (LSU/Bocconi), and Chris Drahozal (Kansas). I am good friends with all four of them and have complete confidence in their abilities.

Although work is already underway, it is anticipated that the project will take several years to complete. I will update you as developments occur.
