New Jersey Arbitration Handbook 2023

by William A. Dreier, Robert E. Bartkus

Overview

New Jersey Arbitration Handbook is a practical guide to arbitration for practitioners and arbitrators alike. It will serve as an essential resource for lawyers, demonstrating what they can expect in a typical hearing—and what will be expected of them.

Chapters include:

• Overview of Arbitration in the Dispute Resolution Process
• Commencing the Arbitration
• Before the Hearing
• Evidence Law Considerations
• Selected Evidence Provisions
• The Hearing
• The Award
• After the Award
• Other Arbitration Regimes

New Jersey Arbitration Handbook is supplemented with topical case summaries from the pages of the New Jersey Law Journal, a recent case law index, and the pertinent statutes and rules.

The 2022 edition of New Jersey Arbitration Handbook includes more than 125 new published and “unpublished” cases from New Jersey state and federal courts (including the Third Circuit), commentary on significant out-of-state- cases and landmark cases in the United States Supreme Court and New Jersey Supreme Court during 2021, the new 2021 ICDR Arbitration Rules, additional and expanded sections, and a new chapter on Drafting Awards.

“New Jersey Arbitration Handbook should be on your shelf, not because of the pretty cover; but for ready reference when you need to prepare for either the presentation or defense of a claim in arbitration in New Jersey. Consulting this Handbook throughout the arbitration process will give you the confidence to perform your function as both an Arbitrator or representative of a party due to Judge Dreier and Robert Bartkus’ recitation of the law and helpful suggestions.”
