Originally from Dispute Resolution Journal

This article is based on remarks made at the Sixth International Arbitration Congress by the highest ranking judge of France to a  working-group of judges, arbitrators, law professors, and practitioners, who explored the relationships between arbitration and the courts throughout the world. The article first expresses agreement with a paper presented by the reporter of the working group and then goes on to comment candidly on the views of Trench judges toward arbitration.
