Description
Do common law and civil law countries respond differently to arbitration? Are geopolitical factors critical? In particular, Latin American legal systems tend to politicize their evaluation of arbitration. The panelists will assess arbitration from a general Latin American perspective and from the vantage point of specific countries, like Brazil. What role do Brazilian judges play in the enforcement of arbitral awards? Is the Brazilian judiciary deficient in its approach to arbitration?
