Leadership for the Strong

To learn how to become an effective leader, one may simply visit Amazon or a good book store and find many books on the topic.

Or we take one leadership development program from a college or a one or two-day workshop and we learn a little more.

Law firms have many leaders: office heads, practice chairs, department heads, committee chairs, professional staff, and the overall firm leader.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes Image

“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.
