"[This book] is a comprehensive treatise about the development and practice of arbitration law in the United States. It addresses in detail the recourse to arbitration in domestic matters -- employment, labor, consumer transactions, and business -- and its use in the resolution of international commercial claims. It covers all of the major subject areas in the field and provides practical advice as well as an easy-to-read, clear discussion of the relevant case law. It represents a masterful synthesis of the entire body of arbitration law. … [This sixth edition] is based on the reading of nearly 500 recently-decided cases by federal courts and state supreme courts. It also incorporates an examination of contemporary commentary on the subject. The presentation of the materials has been completely reconfigured, reorganized, and substantially rewritten." -- Publisher's website.
