Abstract

The article contends that the World Trade Organization (WTO) legal system and WTO dispute settlement system both have characteristics of an effective legal system which the author claims has the capacity for evolution through incremental practice. The author accounts a story that reflects common law prejudice on what makes legal systems work. He claims that the WTO dispute settlement system shows its efficacy through evolving by practice in the absence of a change in the treaty mandate.
