Matters of “Trifling Moment”: New Netherland and the New York Tradition of Arbitration
Files
Description
When legal scholars look to the past, they evaluate what they learn in the light of present‑day practice and dispute resolution. The Dutch in New Netherland had a robust arbitration tradition that may be compared to our present arbitration system. Troy McKenzie and Wilson Freeman examine the practice of arbitration, explaining how it worked in New Netherland, and the lessons it gives us. The chapter traces the utility of arbitration as an adjunct of the judicial system, comparing today’s use of arbitration with that in New Netherland.
