Guide to the Icdr International Arbitration Rules

The International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) is the international division of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and administers in excess of 800 arbitrations annually. This volume, providing an article-by-article commentary on the ICDR International Arbitration Rules, is a comprehensive reference work for counsel, arbitrators, and in-house lawyers engaged in ICDR arbitration. The third edition is fully revised to reflect all changes and updates to the Rules since the second edition was published in 2019.

Like the ICDR International Arbitration Rules themselves, the book is organized to mirror the life cycle of an international arbitration, and provides clear, in-depth, and practical commentary on each Article, including the Expedited Procedure Articles. The analysis offers extensive cross-referencing to help practitioners navigate the interrelationship among provisions and anticipate procedural and strategic issues common in ICDR proceedings. Appendices feature a comparison of the most recent amendments to the ICDR Rules as well as compilation of relevant online resources.

Drawing also on the insight of senior ICDR management and enriched by case law from the United States and a wide range of foreign jurisdictions, the authors combine authoritative research with their substantial practical experience to deliver an indispensable resource. For the first time, the third edition incorporates analysis informed by newly available electronic databases compiling significant ICDR and AAA awards and decisions.

Comprehensive, practical, and fully updated, A Guide to the ICDR International Arbitration Rules remains the leading commentary on these globally influential rules.
