News & Notes

•  For the fourth consecutive year, Will is the proud author of the chapter on Alternative Dispute Resolution in the 2011 Annual Survey of Texas Law, published by the SMU Law Review.  For a copy of a reprint of this recently published article simply email your request.
•   Will has returned to the classroom, this time at SMU’s Center for Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management in Plano, teaching Arbitration: Practice & Advocacy for the Winter Term.  This is an intriguing opportunity to teach non-lawyers and non-law students engaged in a two year Masters degree program a “top to bottom” course on how arbitration is working, or not working, in our society.
• Will is a Charter Member, and a member of the Executive Committee, of the Texas Academy of Distinguished Neutrals, and one of 16 members of the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals’ Executive Committee.  Unlike typical rosters of neutrals, the NADN and TADN are “invitation only”, and are very selective. The Academy can be a very helpful resource for you and your clients when looking for experienced neutrals who have earned excellent reputations.  Live calendars for most members are available at www.texasneutrals.org and www.nadn.org.
