One of the best ways to locate articles is to use legal journal indexes. The best of the indexes include:

• Index to Legal Periodicals & Books (UCB only)
• Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (UCB only)
• Legal Resource Index (also known as Legaltrac) (UCB only)
• Legal Journals Index (Westlaw Edge only)

You can also search full-text collections on Lexis, Westlaw, KluwerArbitration, and Arbitration Law. 
Research tip: Keep in mind that none of these resources are comprehensive on their own.

Journal articles can help with the analysis of cases, rules, conventions and national laws.  For example, if you are interested in the new Argentine arbitration law, you might be interested in this article: The New Argentinian Arbitration Law: A Train in an Unknown Direction, 32 Arbitration International 349-372 (2016).  Articles also provide practical guidance on the conduct of international arbitration, including how to select arbitrators or the use of evidence.

There are many books on various aspects of arbitration, such as practice and procedure, materials that focus on arbitration in a specific region, or books on specialized topics such as arbitration clauses for international contracts.  To locate these books, type the title into the title field in LawCat.

Specialized databases containing books and other sources for commentary and analysis (UCB or Berkeley Law only).  All of these are available from the Databases list on the library's website.

Research tip: If you use a search engine to locate information and you hit a paywall, check the databases list since we may subscribe to the specific database you need.
