Forthcoming Author in the Press: S.I. Strong

Volume 37 Issue 1 of the Michigan Journal of International Law is nearing publication, and one of our authors has been discussing the topic of her article. Kluwer Arbitration Blog recently published a piece written by MJIL author S.I. Strong that previews her forthcoming article on international commercial arbitration. Professor Strong writes that, while a “reasoned” or “fully reasoned” award is required by the agreements that govern international commercial arbitration, there is relatively little scholarship as to why this requirement is necessary or what this would even look like in a legal regime that includes elements of both common and civil law. Professor Strong’s forthcoming article in Volume 37 will fully unpack the reasoned award requirement, how to write such an award, and provide key comparative insights between common law and civil law legal systems in this arena. In the interim, Professor Strong’s paper is available here.
