Podcast 4: Judge James Crawford on arbitral appointments

Michelle Butler interviews Judge Crawford on the appointments process and the qualities of a good arbitrator

By The Law Of Nations · On January 20, 2017


In this podcast Michelle Butler interviews Judge James Crawford on arbitral appointments. The way in which arbitrators are appointed, and the qualities which make a good arbitrator, are hugely important issues in international dispute resolution. Judge Crawford discusses a range of topical issues such as:

  • the respective roles of presiding and party-appointed arbitrators;
  • whether arbitrators need specific expertise in the subject-matter of the dispute;
  • the personal qualities which make an effective arbitrator;
  • threats to arbitral independence;
  • the dynamics of a tribunal’s deliberations;
  • the proliferation of arbitral proceedings in recent years, and the respective roles of the ICJ and ad hoc tribunals;
  • the factors which influence States in their choice of court or tribunal; and
  • potential reforms in the arbitral world.
