As a result of my extensive work in the area of transnational commercial law I have become interested in international commercial arbitration. I teach international commercial arbitration both as a stand-alone course and as a component of an International Business Transactions survey course. In addition, I edit a quarterly newsletter, News & Notes, for the Institute for Transnational Arbitration in Dallas, Texas.

Below I have compiled relevant world wide web sites. Check them out. You may also wish to consult compilations prepared by international institutions, such as the Asser Institute; the International Trade Law Monitor of the University of Tromsö; the Kluwer Law International Arbitration Site; and the webpages prepared by Lyonette Louis-Jacques or for Prof. Dr. Marianne Roth. If you have comments (or questions), you may contact me at pwinship@mail.smu.edu.
