On March 9 and 10, 2020, the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution is bringing 20 or more of the leading arbitrators and arbitration advocates in the country to Phoenix, AZ to teach at its 13th Annual Arbitration Institute.
There are at least five good reasons to think about attending, if you can:

Delegation provisions are a hot topic this year! This week, we’re going to look at two more circuit court decisions centering on delegations and finding ways around them.
Just to set the stage, though, I’ve got to put a little egg on my own face. To quote myself from back in June: “it’s almost
The interplay of the separability doctrine and delegation clauses can create a bullseye that only Hawkeye, the OG Avenger with a bow, might have a prayer of hitting.

As many of you know from LinkedIn or Twitter, I have accepted an exciting new position. I will be Minnesota’s Solicitor General starting next week. Because I want to give my full attention to serving this great state, I need to step back from ArbitrationNation.
Thankfully, however, I have a wonderful replacement lined up. My
The ABA Journal released its Web 100 awards recently, and I am happy to announce that ArbitrationNation is still in the Blawg Hall of Fame! ArbitrationNation was inducted into the Hall of Fame last year, after multiple years on the Top 100 list, for being “consistently outstanding,” which is embarrassingly high praise. There are
You know what rarely rises to the top of my “to do” list? Reading scholarly articles and studies about arbitration. Blech. But, since I haven’t seen any good court decisions lately, it is time to visit the neglected pile of articles. Turns out, I should have read some of them right away. Below are summaries
