Despite the inconsistency in citation practices in the past, top practitioners in our field have started to follow a developing convention on style and citation. This developing trend is the product of a slow assimilation process: different practitioners and arbitrators bringing forward their own practices in case after case, learning alternative approaches from that process, and modifying their practices to fit expectations in future cases. Through this assimilation process, the beginnings of a convention on citation have slowly started to emerge. The rules in this manual reflect that developing convention. UCIA is intended for use in all writings related to international arbitration – from memorials to awards, from scholarly articles to student briefs. Although drafted in English, UCIA can be applied in proceedings in other languages. To facilitate its use, we have attempted to draft UCIA in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, eschewing rules that are unnecessarily technical or nuanced. Woven throughout are examples showing practical application of the rules. This common-sense approach is intended to make UCIA more useful to practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds and legal cultures.
