Summary

Introduces a masterful work by Francisco De Goya presently housed in the Prado Museum titled “Duel with Clubs.” The painting’s image is used as a metaphor to capture historical prejudices in the U.S. common law that subordinated arbitration to judicial proceedings. This introduction identifies the four major premises comprising the legacy skeptical U.S. common law view of arbitration generally and international arbitration in particular.
