The Faculty of Law at our AAU makes a noteworthy addition to the general Arabic library, particularly the Jordanian library, by introducing four scholarly books in a single year. These publications center around international commercial arbitration and construction contracts, featuring the following titles: 1. "The Duty of Disclosure and its Impact on the Arbitrator’s Independence and Impartiality in International Commercial Arbitration" by Professor Mosleh Al-Tarawneh, Vice President for Academic Affairs/Dean of the Faculty of Law, and Engineer Khaled Zuhair Qoul, a graduate of the Master's program in Construction Arbitration. This book delves into the arbitrator's commitment to disclose relationships or circumstances that may influence their impartiality and independence. It provides a specific analysis and critique of the English judiciary's stance in the famous Halberton case. The book is 328 pages of medium-sized text. 2. "Concurrent Delay in Construction Contracts: A Comparative Analytical Study" by Professor Mosleh Al-Tarawneh, Professor Haitham Haloush, and Engineer Khaled Saado. This groundbreaking book, the first of its kind in Arabic, explores delays in construction contracts overall, with a specific focus on concurrent delays.
