The National Academy of Arbitrators, a nonprofit organization of U.S. and Canada arbitrators (see naarb.org) held its 75th Annual Meeting and Education Conference in Toronto from May 11-14, 2022. As I was the NAA president from 2021 to 2022, this conference marked the completion of my term in this leadership position. In accordance with tradition, I made a speech to the conference, sharing my experiences and hopes relating to the NAA's history, current challenges, and possible future. I emphasized the integrity and neutrality of the arbitration process, the importance of diversity, and the NAA's laudable traditions. Below is an Alternatives adaptation of this speech.

For many years, we've been watching with dismay the seeming inability of the Washington, D.C., powers-that-be to come together and enact legislation that would benefit most individuals and constituencies in the United States. Although there have been a few “successes” in recent months, it's hard to feel confident that we won't encounter a likely retreat to the prior glorification of impasse in the months and years ahead.

Forty-three years ago, I found myself as a 19-year-old practicing Jew face-to-face with a college of a world-renowned English university. For no apparent reason, a law teacher decided that I needed to be taught by a barrister who came up to the college on a Saturday, rather than one of the 50 or so qualified faculty members who could more easily have done the job.

Negotiated rulemaking, at its heart, is an alternative dispute resolution process, often dependent upon mediation techniques to gain input from stakeholders who will be subject to regulatory processes. The goal is to produce an oversight process that interested parties can live with and that serves whatever the public purposes are in issuing the rules.
