Testimonial

I suppose it is a tradition, or at least an objective approach, to ask someone not previously associated with the honoree of a liber amicorum– to write a review on it. Perhaps for that reason, I was invited to do this task, and soon I realized it is a daunting one. This liber amicorum is not a random collection of unrelated papers given by friends. The book is by itself ‘autonomous’ as Julian Lew advocates for arbitration. The chapters address the essential aspects of international arbitration, with consistent themes that permeate the contributions.


The ‘high numbers of contributors to this volume’, isa ‘testament of the great esteem that Julian enjoys among his peers’.26 Even more noteworthy is the depth, range and quality of these papers and how they traced back to what Julian has written, advocated and taught.


Without being a student or a peer or a personal friend of Julian Lew, one can read and learn what he has done for international arbitration, be influenced by his thoughts, and benefit from the legacy he has made for international arbitration. Even a legal professional from civil law system like me, remotely located at the other end of the world, one can be touched and impacted by Julian Lew’s contribution. – Pijan Wu FCIArb; Senior Counsel, LCS & Partners; Adjunct Associate Professor, Soochow University Graduate School of Law - Arbitration: The International Journal of Arbitration, Mediation and Dispute Management Issue 1, 2024
