News

Arbitration is taking a media beating for NOT being faster and less expensive than litigation. All the arbitrator conferences tend to blame it on outside counsel or parties.

I think there is enough blame to go around. It is, in the end, the parties' process, but that doesn't absolve the arbitrator from his/her duty to manage the process effectively.

Please E-mail me if you have an opinion. 

 

For the "faithful," I am pleased to report that pitchers, catchers and injured players are set to report on February 13, 2012 and competitive SPring Training games will begin on March 5.
