“An African proverb says: ‘When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.’ The task of mediation is to make the elephants talk before they trample the field. The task of public law, when talk fails, is to rebuild the field so that others may grow.” JAMS neutral Giuseppe De Palo, Esq. discusses lessons from Enel X v. Google and the relationship between private resolution and public law. Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q04cgnCS0 #JAMSInsights

“I see arbitration’s greatest current challenge as what I will call, for want of a catchier term, the ongoing ‘scientification’ of arbitration. Modern arbitration developed in the context of conventional commercial disputes, and while industry understanding was often seen as desirable in an arbitrator, deep technical understanding usually was not—ultimately, that is why there is expert testimony. But as science continues to penetrate every aspect of our lives, it also increasingly shapes the disputes that come before arbitrators.” Read more from JAMS neutral Tony Cole Esq.
