NYIAC serves as a catalyst for international arbitration activities and developments in New York.\u00a0 Led by lawyers and arbitrators in New York’s international arbitration community, NYIAC’s current initiatives include:<\/p>\n
The New York judiciary plays a key role in maintaining New York at the forefront of the global arbitration community, responding to party requests for judicial intervention to aid (or disrupt) the arbitral proceedings and to enforce (or vacate) arbitral awards.\u00a0 Their decisions impact not only the parties to a specific case, but also international perceptions of New York as a seat of arbitration.<\/p>\n
NYIAC aims to ensure that New York judges have access to cutting edge developments in international arbitration, and will soon hold its inaugural showcase session for New York judges, entitled \u201cInternational Arbitration:\u00a0 The Challenge of Our New Global World\u201d, presented by Professor Harold Koh of Yale Law School, former Legal Adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State.<\/p>\n
Members of NYIAC\u2019s leadership are working with members of the State\/Federal Judicial Council Advisory Working Group On Arbitration to conduct research and fashion reform projects related to international arbitration in New York courts. This key collaboration promises to help New York remain a desirable seat of arbitration for parties world-wide.<\/p>\n
As part of its educational and promotional functions, NYIAC is dedicated to hosting and sponsoring panels, CLEs, and other events dedicated to educating the global community about New York as choice of law and seat of arbitration.\u00a0 Every quarter, NYIAC will showcase a hot or emerging issue in international arbitration. \u00a0\u00a0Plans for 2014 include:<\/p>\n
The NYIAC website already hosts a number of articles on New York as both a choice of substantive law and as a seat of arbitration, covering topics such as the enforceability of arbitration agreements, finality of awards and case notes on recent decisions handed down by the New York courts.\u00a0 Present and future initiatives include \u201chot topic\u201d articles and industry-specific leaflets on New York law to be published on the NYIAC website, and collaborations with the ABA (which will shortly publish an edition of its magazine dedicated to NYIAC and New York law), the New York Law Journal and the International Bar Association.<\/p>\n
NYIAC will be collaborating with law school faculties to plan studies on New York as both choice of law and seat of arbitration in an effort to develop a strong empirical base for its educational and promotional goals.\u00a0 Initiatives currently in development include review of statistics and empirical evidence of the volume of arbitrations seated in New York and \/ or determined under New York law, as compared with other global venues.<\/p>\n
NYIAC has on-going partnerships with New York area Law Schools, who send law students to NYIAC to serve as \u201clegal externs\u201d in order to immerse students in the real-world practice of international arbitration.<\/p>\n
