Improved case management is a key element to achieving worldwide
harmonization of international arbitration, says David Wagoner. Proper
management of the arbitral process is a responsibility to be shared

institutions in the conduct of arbitral proceedings is the
ever-increasing mandate to expedite proceedings. In reality, these
tensions create an opportunity and shared responsibility for all those
involved in the arbitral process.
