Mainly business disputes. Am handling an arbitration now that has a very stringent confidentiality provision. I think the JAMS rules have a specific confidentiality requirement and thought the AAA rules did as well, although I could be wrong about that.

Why wouldn't it? Most (many?) arbitration provisions (and the rules of the various sponsoring organizations) require confidentiality, and as long as any award was paid there would be no need to file the award in court to obtain a judgment.

Mr. Pedestrian says that if he wanted you to know what his Keep out was, he'd tell you. But he doesn't, so GTFO. :)

And the feds are acting like VC funds but not taking any of the upside. Fund a bunch of companies, hope one hits, make bank. Here, the feds are funding a bunch of companies, making (I believe) unsecured loans, and then losing all the $ on failures and making no $ on successes other than nominal interest payments.…

NFL Press Release: Jim Skow says NFL head trauma actually improves memory!

Worst driver ever .... or best? I mean, other than the Dukes of Hazzard, who gets that much air at a toll booth?

So if you have an asshole friend that starts a fight and gets punched for it, you are going to jump in and make it 2 versus 1? That seems wrong to me.

When did the French take over BBC?

I'm sure his sources in the NFL office confirmed it for him, though!

"That was fun for a minute."

With these teams needing RBs, why is no one mentioning Demarco Murray? Does he just want too much money? Do people think the Cowboys beat him up so much last year that he is about ready to fall off the cliff at 27 instead of 31?
