I’m developing an interest in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism. Here’s a data set that might help some in their research:

The dataset covers all 311 WTO disputes initiated through the official filing of a Request for Consultations at the WTO, from 1 January 1995 until July 31, 2004, and for these disputes it includes events occurring until February 28, 2005. For these disputes, the dataset covers exhaustively all stages of dispute settlement proceedings, from the moment when consultations are being requested to the eventual implementation of the rulings.
