Chapter of the Day: Recognition of Foreign Judgments and Arbitral Awards


Readers, MCLE has just published the fourth edition of Federal Civil Litigation in the First Circuit. The book, edited by Francis D. Dibble Jr., includes many useful chapters. I particularly like Judge Ponsor’s chapter on oral argument, which has helpful advice, including “Never allow your adversary to be more reasonable than you are,” “Just say it,” and “Make what you want clear.” The very last chapter is my “Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments and Arbitral Awards.” It’s derived from chapters from International Judicial Assistance: Serving Process, Obtaining Evidence, Enforcing Judgments and Awards, which MCLE has not updated since the second edition in 2016. You may find it useful, especially if you practice in the First Circuit! The book is available in print and electronic formats here.
