8 Am. J. Mediation i (2015)

handle is hein.journals/amjm8 and id is 1 raw text is: AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MEDIATION Editorial Board Introduction The 8' issue of the Journal continues our tradition of exploring the wide landscape of alternative dispute resolution. We begin with an excellent piece by American College of Civil Trial Mediators Fellow Gary V. McGowan contrasting comparable procedures in arbitration and litigation - an analysis every litigator entering the arbitration field should appreciate and understand. ACCTM Fellow Don Philbin joins Randall Kiser in an overview of the relationship of ADR skills to legal decision making which, in turn, serves as an introduction to three intriguing pieces tying legal analysis and tactics to problem solving procedures. Kristine Unanyan recounts how the legal strategies employed by principals in a major toy manufacturer's lawsuit failed to take advantage of clear opportunities to reach mutually favorable resolutions. Melissa Wai examines the mechanics of decision making procedures in the mediation process, and Devan Larson explores the dangers of heightened emotional factors in resolving employment disputes. We then round out this issue of the Journal with three student presentations gathered by Distinguished Fellow Mel Rubin in his capacity as an adjunct professor at the University of Miami Law School. Anthony Diblasi , a 2015 graduate, offers us a creative proposal for resolving compensation issues for collegiate athletes through an arbitration procedure. Daniel De Orchis, another 2015 graduate, explores how ADR procedures might be utilized to resolve conflicts between recording artists and their record label sponsors, and Michael Gayed, a 2014 Miami Law graduate, details the creation and operation of a damage mitigation system for the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant disaster. We hope our readers find these presentations as enjoyable and thought provoking as the entire ACCTM Journal of Mediation Board. We welcome your thoughts and suggestions and would look forward to any submissions you would care to make for publication. Lawrence M. Watson Jr. For the Editorial Board i
