American Arbitration Law Summary

American Arbitration Law: ReformationNationalizationInternationalization by Ian R. Macneil (Wigmore Professor of Law, Wigmore Professor of Law, Northwestern University, USA)

Although arbitration is a way of settling disputes without expensive court litigation, it carries with it a central conflict for the state. That is, if the judgments of the arbiter are not supported by the state, then they are not enforceable, and arbitration becomes unworkable. On the other hand, arbitration can frequently be manipulated to maintain inequitable relationships, and the state has legitimate reservations about surrendering or leasing its authority. In this work, Ian Macneil examines the history of the American arbitration legislation that deals with this conflict.

American Arbitration Law Reviews

"An important piece of legal history...the book presents previously ignored eviedence concerning the USAA's origins. Macneil's analysis also reveals a new perspecitve on the 'premodern' state law of commercial arbitration and the reform movement it spawned...his writing should spark additional scholarly interest in the battles over the modernization of United States arbitration law."--The Journal of American History "A useful history of the development of arbitration law in the United States during the 20th century....It is well written and easily readable, and Professor MacNeil's strong views on the development of the law make the material much more entertaining than the usual treatises on the subject."--World Arbitration & Mediation Report "An important piece of legal history...the book presents previously ignored eviedence concerning the USAA's origins.
