Abstract

Serving as an arbitrator since retiring from the bench has inspired me to think about the quality of the adjudicative process in new ways-and to assess, from an insider's perspective, the pros and cons of trials (especially court trials) and arbitrations. The purpose of this essay is to share my thoughts on this subject-some of which have surprised me.
