Abstract
I want to examine the WTO dispute settlement system within the context of certain institutional norms which are traditionally captured under the concept of the rule of law. That is a concept having an imperfect fit in many international law settings. But I believe that there are a number of features of what we mean by the rule of law which constitute useful benchmarks against which to understand a system such as the WTO dispute settlement system.
