Since the decision of the International Court of Justice in LaGrand (Germany v United States of America), the law of provisional measures has expanded dramatically both in terms of the volume of relevant decisions and the complexity of their reasoning. Provisional Measures before International Courts and Tribunals seeks to describe and evaluate this expansion, and to undertake a comparative analysis of provisional measures jurisprudence in a range of significant international courts and tribunals so as to situate interim relief in the wider procedure of those adjudicative bodies. The result is the first comprehensive examination of the law of provisional measures in over a decade, and the first to compare investor-state arbitration jurisprudence with more traditional inter-state courts and tribunals.

It is hard to say where this story, or most any story, actually begins. As so many others, though, this story began as a love story. But perhaps this tale, like most, begins already underway, with a constant eye toward where and when it all started. Keep in mind that what has passed -- as much as we would oftentimes like to leave it in the past -- may always be with us in the present, supervising, influencing -- if not altogether controlling -- our present and our future. We try to sometimes ignore, resist, or at least manage its muscle, but only occasionally do we succeed. Like the O.J. Simpson - Nicole Brown, Ron Goldman case, we know how the trial ended, but the case continues. The reader should also keep in mind that every adventure is more of an adventure than writing or reading about it.
