Advance Disaster Directives for Hospitals
Mass casualty disasters can take various forms: hurricanes, floods, ice storms, tornados, plane or bus crashes, and today, even terrorist attacks. And hospitals and other health-care entities are on the front lines.They do an incredible job preparing for such disasters; most conduct full-blown drills on a regular basis. But with so much to consider, it is easy to overlook seemingly small details that can pose critical problems during and after the disaster.
That's where in-house counsel at hospitals and health-care entities, especially those who are part of a risk management department, come in. In-housers can help their clients avoid practical and legal headaches by ensuring that appropriate personnel, supplies, equipment and other resources are ready to care for an influx of patients. With thorough preparation, counsel also can avert legal problems such as employees' wage-and-hour claims, negligence or wage claims by employees' family members, and patient medical-malpractice claims.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
