Arbitration of disputes for the Olympic Games: a procedure that works
Article Abstract:
The Amateur Sports Act of 1978 (ASA) greatly improved dispute resolution between athletes and their governing organizations, but there are still problems. Butch Reynolds' case prior to the 1992 Olympics exemplifies the procedural confusion. The ASA reorganized sports in the US, giving the US Olympic Committee the power to name national governing bodies (NGBs) for each sport. But NGBs must also be named by international sports federations and recognized by the International Olympic Committee. Arbitrating a dispute through these governing bodies who are empowered to issue different decisions could be made easier by the publication of awards.

New trends in the arbitration of employment disputes
Article Abstract:
The backlog of employment-related cases in the courts has made alternative dispute resolution (ADR) increasingly popular and practical. ADR has been used in contract disputes for some time, and there is no reason why it would not work in cases involving statutory discrimination. Recent appeals of arbitrated cases show that the courts are accepting the decisions of ADR. ADR saves money and time and improves the quality of employee morale by providing quick recourse to their complaints.
