Universal Citation in International Arbitration

Have you ever wondered what system of citation to follow when citing evidence and authorities in international arbitration? How do you ensure that your team uses a consistent system of citation so you can avoid the last-minute race to harmonise disparate approaches? Have you ever hoped there was a simple, sensible system of citation that leading arbitrators and practitioners in the field have not only endorsed, but helped to develop?

Published in May 2018, Global Arbitration Review’s Universal Citation in International Arbitration is the long-awaited, desktop manual on citation in international arbitration. UCIA is a consensus document, written with the assistance of 26 of some of the field’s biggest names and with input from members of all the key international arbitral institutions, on the most efficient and effective citation system for use in arbitral proceedings around the world.

The booklet provides a uniform approach to citing exhibits and authorities, including contracts, witness statements, expert reports, correspondence, statutes, arbitral rules, cases, hearing transcripts, treaties, travaux préparatoires, internet material, books and legal reviews.
