The "Nuts & Bolts" of International Arbitration

Event | 02.09.09, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Organized by the American Bar Association's Section of International Law in collaboration with its Law Student, LLM, & New Lawyer Outreach Committee, the Section of Dispute Resolution, and Georgetown’s International Arbitration Group. This program will be the first one of the Section’s “Nuts & Bolts” series, which is designed to provide foundational (i.e., “bridge the gap”) programming to J.D. and LLM law students and young lawyers who are practicing, or want to practice, international law. Specifically, this program, which is being offered for CLE credit, will compare and contrast the basic substantive aspects and differences of arbitration conducted at international fora such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), NAFTA (Chapter 11- Investor-State), and the World Trade Organization. Also, speakers will focus on the most recent developments in international arbitration generally, as well as share insights on how to stay up to date on the latest developments in international arbitration, and what can be done to advance oneself early in a career. This event will be held at the Georgetown University Law Center, Hart Auditorium in McDonough Hall, from 2:00-3:30 p.m.

Baiju Vasani is a panelist.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
