Luther Dispute Resolution Lecture: Soft Law in International Commercial Arbitration

Luther Dispute Resolution Lecture: Soft Law in International Commercial Arbitration

Hybrid

A Critical Approach

Rules and guidelines in the field of arbitration have been proliferating for years - some of these "soft laws" are widely recognised and even treated as "hard laws", while others lack legitimacy.

Prof. Dr. Felix Dasser will examine this fascinating phenomenon from all sides. Do we really need a 30-page set of Rules of Procedure that incorporates all the current soft procedural law? Or should we simply use soft law as a useful stone quarry depending on the needs of the specific case? How do we determine what may qualifies as soft law and what does not? Or is soft law just a fata morgana anyway?

Felix Dasser will discuss these and other questions in the 7th Luther Dispute Resolution Lecture.
