Abstract

International arbitration presents special challenges for written advocacy. This short article draws upon ancient wisdom and reviews ten practice points for better persuasive writing in international arbitration. During an excavation at the ICC Court of Arbitration’s headquarters site in Paris, workers uncovered a stone tablet buried under boxes and boxes of petrified arbitration pleadings and exhibits. A team of archaeologists worked for months to decipher and then fully grasp the text of the tablet and its significance for international arbitration practitioners today. What follows reproduces the text of that stone tablet, with annotations provided by the commentator.
