The Penn State Law Yearbook on Arbitration and Mediation’s 2017 Symposium, entitled “Controversies in Arbitration,” features arbitration scholars and practitioners and their assessments of current drawbacks in the arbitration process. The panel discussions address three important themes: (1) the reception of arbitration in different legal traditions and systems; (2) the role of arbitration in consumer transactions; (3) contemporary criticisms and misgivings of arbitration.
