The revived Arbitrate.com website at https://www.arbitrate.com/index.cfm provides fresh content regarding arbitration with news items as well as original and curated articles from new and seasoned arbitration voices. It also includes a web series called “The Arbitration Conversation.” This is a periodic web series where Prof. Amy J. Schmitz interviews leading thinkers in arbitration from around the world. These can be used in arbitration classes to give students views “from the field.” Also, the short webisodes simply provide thoughts, insights and analysis on key issues in arbitration for anyone interested in the field. The episodes (with links) already “in the can,” so to say, include:
