Lecture 14: Drafting Arbitration Clauses: Law of Arbitration Agreement (Other Components)

Welcome to the 14th lecture in this lecture series on international arbitration practice. We have been discussing various components of an arbitration clause in the last few lectures. In this lecture, we deal with an important concept that is of recent vintage in international arbitration: the law of arbitration agreement. The law of arbitration agreement has gained prominence in international arbitration in the past two decades or so, with a call for having a specific clause in the arbitration agreement regarding the choice of the law of arbitration agreement in the last decade. We will deal with the theoretical aspects of the law of arbitration agreement may be in a future lecture. For now, we need to understand how these clauses are to be drafted.
