"[This book] discusses general arbitration law from federal preemption of state law to the formation, performance, and enforcement of arbitration agreements and provides...coverage of specialized law governing international arbitration and labor arbitration. The last few decades have witnessed the growth of a large body of legal doctrine from statutes, judicial decisions, and other sources focused on arbitration. This [book] summarizes that body of law, so should be useful to lawyers and scholars researching arbitration law and to students learning about arbitration."-- Provided by publisher.
