Season 5 Episode 3 - The Institutions

This week’s episode is focused on arbitration institutions, and more particularly on their function and liability. Under the firm guidance of Saadia, we discuss the liability of arbitration institutions [TIME 09:10], with some concrete examples of institutions being sued. Brian then talks to Eric Tuchmann, General Counsel of the American Arbitration Association [TIME 48:30] about the role of that institution, including examples of litigation involving the AAA. Happy Fun Time is about Pro Bono culture, with an arbitration angle [TIME [01:19:23].

Season 2 Episode 8 - The Quantum Boy

We're preparing for our trip to the ICCA Congress in Sydney, and in the meantime we talk to Victoria Kummer about New York as a place of arbitration (some mediation came up as well) [TIME 8:24]. In the second substantive segment we quiz "Canadian-Canadian" Quantum Boy Michael Kotrly about damages in international arbitration - how are they calculated and why are lawyers so bad at calculating[37:54]? Unfortunately there is a crackling that shows up sometimes when Michael speaks, for which we very much apologize! This week's happy fun time then focuses on billing and various aspects of that practice, from both a law firm and an arbitrator's perspective [TIME 1:15:12].
