Trey Childress presented as part of a panel at the 18th Annual Fordham Conference on International Arbitration on Friday 17 November. The panel discussed empirical research and international arbitration. Among other topics, the panel discussed Trey’s forthcoming article on “Challenging and Enforcing International Arbitral Awards in U.S. Federal Courts: An Empirical Study”, which will be published in the Virginia Journal of International Law. The article reports that the rates at which U.S. federal courts give effect to international arbitral awards are significantly higher than reported to date. The article’s findings will serve as a foundation for future empirical work in this area.
Further details about the publication will be released in the coming months.
