For this work, editors Stephen K. Huber and Ben H. Sheppard, Jr. and the University of Houston Law Center collaborate with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), to revive the tradition of publishing an annual survey of important developments in arbitration and the law. Initially published as the AAA General Counsel s Annual Report and later as ADR & the Law, the annual survey has not been published since 2007. The Yearbook will once again be produced on an annual basis. The AAA Yearbook on Arbitration and the Law provides arbitrators and busy practitioners a practical, relevant and readily accessible resource, organized into two parts: Part One contains digests of important decisions of the United States Supreme Court, the United States court of appeals and state supreme courts. This volume includes digests of selected judicial decisions from 2007 through 2009, and is current through October 1, 2010. The book contains 130 case digests, together with citations and descriptive cross-references to more than 400 related decisions. Recognizing the important role of arbitration in the global economy, there is a separate chapter containing digests and cross-references to cases dealing with the unique issues presented in international arbitrations. Part Two consists of articles that address a wide range of timely and important arbitration topics, including a comprehensive report on the extraordinary range of services that the AAA provides and a detailed overview of the international activities of the AAA/ICDR, including a report on the successful implementation of the ICDR s pre-arbitral emergency arbitrator procedure, the first such procedure to be adopted by any arbitral institution as a standard part of its rules. Other articles address some of the hottest topics in domestic and international arbitration, such as a survey on the status of manifest disregard of the law as a basis to vacate an arbitral award; arbitral cost allocation decisions and whether guidelines should accompany arbitral discretion; a tenth anniversary reflection on experience under The Revised Uniform Arbitration Act; problems posed by arbitrator disclosure and implications of a duty to investigate; whether a private international arbitration falls within foreign or international tribunal under 28 U.S.C. Section 1782; and several timely practice pointers for parties seeking discovery in aid of arbitration. The AAA Yearbook re-establishes itself as the preeminent annual yearbook on Arbitration and Dispute Resolution in the United States. It is a required and necessary reference work for all who wish to stay on top of the latest trends, developments , cases and guidelines accompanied by expert commentary and analysis in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution.

Stephen K. Huber - Editor

For decades, the AAA Yearbook on Arbitration & the Law has served as an outstanding source of guidance on legal developments in the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution. In light of that history, the subject matter covered by this 27th edition is remarkable in the extent that it reflects continued and significant breadth in terms of the ADR issues explored. The continued expansion in the use of ADR for increasingly diverse types of disputes has raised important legal and policy questions, the magnitude of which is perhaps most clearly illustrated by the number of arbitration-related cases the Supreme Court of the United States takes up for review. Those matters are considered here, as are other contemporary ADR-related developments such as class action arbitrations and the enforceability of class action waivers. At the same time, the AAA Yearbook details cases that address what are historically some of the most frequently litigated and recurring issues. For example, courts are commonly presented with arbitrability disputes, the related issue of the allocation of authority among arbitrators and the courts, and questions regarding preemption of the Federal Arbitration Act over a state s arbitration law. Despite decades of court decisions addressing those matters, courts continue to address still-evolving theories and differing fact patterns that can provide further direction and evolution in the law. The thorough coverage in the AAA Yearbook of these matters, in addition to many others, will serve as an invaluable reference and source of information to practitioners, arbitrators and academics, as well as all those with an interest in ADR.
