Abstract

SWISS GUIDE TO LEGAL RESEARCH IN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION Legal research is part of a lawyer's daily routine. Thus, practitioners are not only presumed to be familiar with the relevant sources of authority, but also to execute an effective research on a particular issue arising in international arbitration. After all, "time is money". Whatever the area of law, legal research must be done efficiently and the required inquiry must be done in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Hence, the research approach may become a decisive factor. Arbitration practitioners certainly know that, while general internet search engines may be valuable auxiliary means to arrive at a quick initial search result, legal research should not necessarily start or end by the use of "Google". Urs WEBER-STECHER and Flavio PETER have established the "Swiss Guide on Legal Research in International Arbitration", which helps the reader not only to find details on how to locate the relevant legal authorities, but also offers some insight into the specific characteristics of international arbitration and how these idiosyncrasies might influence the practitioners' approach towards efficient conduct of legal research.
