The Law and Practice of Arbitration - 3rd Edition 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. It discusses basic concepts and doctrines, the FAA, freedom of contract in arbitration, arbitrability, the enforcement of awards, the use of arbitration in consumer and employment matters, institutional arbitration, and the drafting of arbitration agreements. It speaks of the federalization of the law and growing jud icial objections to the use of adhesionary arbitration agreements in the consumer context. It is fully up-to-date with the latest rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court on arbitration.
The Third Edition represents a thoroughly updated and substantially revised account of U.S. arbitration law. The author collected and evaluated several hundred cases in redoing the book. The Introduction has been completely rewritten; it provides a current overview of recent shifts in the law. Several chapters, in particular, those relating to the enforcement of awards, consumer transactions, and employment arbitration have been refashioned in light of the contemporary case law. "Opt-in" provisions, the action to clarify awards, and the possible imposition of sanctions for frivolous appeals against awards are considered and analyzed. A number of sections have considerable new commentary: maritime arbitration, federalism and arbitration, the validity of arbitration agreements, among others. The references and documentation are revised and more elaborate. The Third Edition is an authoritative statement and assessment of U.S. arbitration law.
The Law and Practice of Arbitration - 3rd Edition is the work of a leader in the field who has pioneered efforts to provide professional education on arbitration. It is an essential work for practitioners and other professionals who are interested in gaining a full and knowledgeable view of arbitration as well as of the intricacies of its continuous and bewilderingly dynamic development.
Praise For The Law and Practice of Arbitration
"Most works on arbitration deal only with the nuts-and-bolts; others adopt an entirely theoretical approach. Carbonneau's book offers all the perspectives one could want -- historical, analytical, jurisprudential and practical -- all the while viewing arbitration in its full range of substantive contexts. This completeness makes the book invaluable."

Carbonneau, in fact, supplies one of the most convincing and well articulated accounts of the law of arbitration.
