2019 is a banner year for the growth of international dispute resolution in California. On January 1, 2019 a new statute, Senate Bill 766 (2017-2018 Reg. Sess.), clarified the rules permitting out-of-state and foreign counsel to appear in international commercial arbitrations in California. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1297.185 et seq.; see also Chang, Golden Opportunities for the Golden State: The Rise of International Arbitration in California (2018) 31:2 Cal.
