Keeping up with arbitration means moving between judgments, institutional updates, treaty developments and the practical questions that come with running a case. There is plenty to read. Finding a clear explanation of why something matters can be harder.
Arbitration BITS began in 2025 with a straightforward idea: make those explanations easier to find. We follow international arbitration across jurisdictions and bring together news, legal analysis and practical learning for students, researchers, practitioners and people working with disputes.
Some developments need a short update. Others deserve a close reading of the judgment, or a careful walk through the procedure. Our formats reflect that: BITSx News for developments, longer analysis for the reasoning, BITS Primer for the practical foundations and short videos for a first introduction.
We want readers to leave with a clearer understanding and a useful next question. That means linking to the original sources, explaining legal language when it needs explaining and making space for emerging voices alongside experienced contributors.
The content is open access. You don’t need a subscription to read it, and you don’t need an established practice to join the conversation.
