Arbitration Rules

Arbitration rules are often found only on specific arbitral institutions' websites. Refer to McGill Guide Rule 1.6 Online Resources and Rule 6.18.1 Websites for guidance about citing sources from the Web. See also the law library's citation guide chapter on Online Sources.

CITATION ELEMENTS (WEBSITES): Author, | "title of the webpage/document" | (date of the page/document) | pinpoint, | online: | <URL> | [archived URL].

EXAMPLE: Permanent Court of Arbitration, "Arbitration Rules 2012" (17 Dec 2012), online: <https://docs.pca-cpa.org/2015/11/PCA-Arbitration-Rules-2012.pdf> [https://perma.cc/3ABV-RKKD].

Finding Tools

The international, regional, and national arbitral institutions all have websites providing the arbitral rules (detailed information on procedures) as well as subject-specific guidelines, like the SCC Arbitrator’s Guidelines. While most of the individual arbitral institutions are not listed in this section, you can simply search the name of the arbitral body using Google or another search engine.
