Legal Research: The Topic Tool and ISDS Guidebook

• Our Guidebook written by the IAReporter team gives a succinct overview of jurisprudence on key topics;
• The Topic Tool indexes our 15+ years of reporting on decisions, awards and rulings, allowing users to research how more than 3000 legal and valuation topics have been handled by arbirators and courts;
• The Topic Tool is updated on an ongoing basis to provide a broad and up-to-the-minute overview of the case law (including many otherwise non-public decisions);
• Additional filters allow users to research a topic only in relation to a particular arbitrator, state, treaty, rules, etc.;
• In 2024, we added an “industry” filter, so that users can research case law concepts as they have been applied in a chosen sector (e.g. mining, oil & gas, etc.)
