The ability to select the ultimate decision-maker is one of the key advantages of arbitration. Unlike trial, where the decision-maker is an assigned judge or an unknown jury, in arbitration the parties get to choose the arbitrator. Hence, a great deal of time, effort and thought should go into the arbitrator selection process. This article discusses that process, as well as how to use an arbitration simulation to predict how the arbitrator may rule.

There, the Supreme Court held that a class action waiver was enforceable to preclude an antitrust class action. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan summed up the projected impact of American Express in her strongly worded dissent: “The monopolist gets to use its monopoly power to insist on a contract effectively depriving its victims of all legal recourse.

Tiffanie’s article, “Protecting the Lydias, Linas and Tinas from Sex Trafficking: A Call to Eliminate Ambiguities of 18 U.S.C. § 1591,” published in the Oklahoma Law Review, received the “Gene H. and Jo Ann Sharp Law Review Award” for Outstanding Comment. The article proposes an amended federal statute criminalizing sex trafficking of children that clarifies the mens rea required for conviction, balancing Congress’s goal to eradicate sex trafficking of children with defendants’ constitutional due process rights.
