The Juris Arbitration Law Library has become one of arbitration’s most relied-upon references, built for the way arbitration practitioners actually work, strong in international commercial arbitration, with a particular depth in US practice and procedure, and a solid secondary layer in investment arbitration.
Today, that library gets significantly deeper. We are adding 17 new titles, covering everything from tribunal conduct and witness examination to post-award enforcement, US court support, and investment treaty jurisprudence.
The Importance of the JURIS Library
The strongest research libraries earn their reputation on the questions they help you answer. This expansion earns it twice over: in commercial arbitration and in US practice.
At the practitioner end, updated editions of the Leading Arbitrators’ Guide and the College of Commercial Arbitrators Guide brings one of the field’s most-cited references, while The Dark Side of Arbitration offers a rare, unflinching look at how arbitrators and institutions actually fail. On the other side of a case, Defeating and Defending Awards and the updated Public Policy Exception under the New York Convention gives counsel practical tools for enforcement.
A Deeper Bench for US Practice
The US layer is where the depth is hardest to find elsewhere. Section 1782 discovery, interim measures across US courts, FINRA securities procedure, and reasoned award standards are the kind of jurisdiction-specific guidance generalist resources simply don’t carry, exactly what international teams need the moment a dispute touches US courts.
Beyond commercial practice, an 18-volume treatment of ISDS jurisprudence, alongside focused work on jurisdictional boundaries and natural-resources disputes, gives treaty specialists one of the deepest secondary-source collections available. And for counsel working a specific seat or sector, new titles on the EU’s post-Achmea landscape, Asia-Pacific force majeure, and construction delay analysis mean the guidance is built for the matter in front of you, not written in generalities.
The result is a library that now runs the full length of a case: from the tactics that shape a strategy, through the treaty and regional law that frame a dispute, to the arguments that decide whether an award survives enforcement. That range, across commercial, investment, US, EU, construction, and financial services practice, is what makes JURIS the most comprehensive arbitration library on any legal intelligence platform.
Standout Titles
Among the library’s existing titles, a few stand out for breadth of practitioners they already serve:
- American Review of International Arbitration (ARIA): the top US journal on international arbitration, with a strong academic and DEI focus, a natural fit alongside this expansion’s US-practice depth.
- ASA Special Series: practical Swiss Arbitration Association analyses on good faith, institutional scrutiny, and expert evidence.
- International Arbitration Institute (IAI) Series: curated IAI conference proceedings on state entities, precedent, and jurisdictional challenges.

Doctrine Meets Agentic AI
Adding 17 titles to a library is only half the story. What makes this expansion count is where that content lives: inside the same research environment as Jus Mundi‘s case law, treaties, and Jus AI.
Ask Jus AI a question, and it can draw on JURIS publications alongside awards and treaties in a single query, so you move from what leading commentators say to the authorities that support it, without opening a second tool. Every insight sourced from a JURIS title comes with a traceable path back to the original text, the same transparency Jus AI applies across the database, so you can check the source before you rely on it.
Whether you are scoping a novel legal issue or preparing for a hearing, Jus AI can pull together the relevant commentary and case law in a fraction of the time manual research would take, freeing you to focus on strategy rather than the search itself.
And the support does not stop at research. From early legal analysis to drafting support and arbitrator selection, having JURIS’ practitioner guidance available inside Jus AI means the platform can help at more stages of a case, not just at the research stage.
