Commercial Arbitration Is Alive and Well in New York
By David C. Singer - Commercial arbitration is flourishing in New York because parties voluntarily agree that arbitration is the preferred method for addressing and resolving disputes that may arise from their contractual relationships. The freedom of contracting parties to make that choice is a good thing.
Arbitrating Disputes Involving Blockchains, Smart Contracts, and Smart Legal Contracts
By Peter L. Michaelson & Sandra A. Jeskie - Blockchain-based distributed (shared) ledgers ("Blockchain Ledgers") provide an immutable, secure, and tamper-evident alternative to conventional transactional modalities,1 one which also yields enhanced accountability, traceability, and transparency.
