The following GATT and WTO Panel and Appellate Body Reports are used by Professor Jackson in his International Trade Course and WTO Dispute Settlement Seminar. These Reports have been abridged by Professors Jackson and Davey, and IIEL Fellows, for use as supplementary materials for students. Since Panel and Appellate Body Reports are often extraordinarily lengthy, courses generally will need abridged versions so that key cases can be covered in a limited period of time.
The abridged cases posted on this page can be used freely for educational purposes. Since the abridged versions are provided in MS Word format, teachers are invited to edit a report further if they want a shorter version, or to add specific paragraphs from the full versions. They are listed here in reverse chronological order.
