Symposium on Labor and Employment Arbitration

Jaime Fell and everyone at #PennStateLaw organized this symposium as well as any I’ve seen. I learned a ton from Mark Gough’s data, and the abilities of each of the other speakers--Jill Gross, Rick Bales, and Ted St. Antoine—to draw on their experiences in the trenches of arbitration as well as their broader perspectives as prolific scholars.

10:00 AM — Professor Stephen Ware's Presentation on "Labor Arbitration's Differences"

10:30 AM — Professor Richard Bales' Presentation on "What Makes a 'Reasoned' Arbitration Award?"
