Arbitration
University of Kansas (KU) Law Professor Stephen Ware began focusing on Arbitration in the early 1990’s when he was on the faculty of Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law. At KU Law, Professor Ware has several times taught Arbitration as part of a survey Alternative Dispute Resolution course, Law 860.
Ware is the author of several books on arbitration:
- an Arbitration casebook (Foundation Press University Casebook Series, 4th ed. 2020) (with Alan Scott Rau);
- an arbitration treatise Principles of Arbitration Law (West Concise Hornbook Series, 2d ed. 2023) (with Ariana Levinson).
- and a co-authored Cambridge University Press book on reforming the Federal Arbitration Act.
In addition, Ware has published dozens of law review articles about arbitration, and has testified on arbitration before the United States Senate (video of Senate testimony) and House of Representatives (news release regarding congressional testimony) and, as an expert witness, in court.
He blogs about ADR generally and Arbitration specifically.
