.@ADR_Prof Kristen Blankley’s timely article on NIL arbitration covers dispute system design and risk analysis. At footnote 323 (that’s well sourced), she mentions my now-vintage 2008 Harvard Negotiation Law Review piece on decision-tree risk analysis. donphilbin.com/publications#… #DisputeSystemDesign #RiskAnalysis #DecisionTrees

Honored to again be included in Band 1 Nationwide for Mediators in the newly released Chambers USA 2026 guide.

What a privilege to teach a unit of Mediating the Litigated Case recently at @StrausInstitute @pepperdine ! Working with a room full of top litigators and mediators, we interactively analyzed exaggerated human behavior and decision-making in the crucible of high-stakes game shows. This provided a practical lens to apply what they've learned about advanced risk assessment and settlement dynamics. It's a tough crowd, so their kind reviews were truly welcome, including: “Mr. Philbin was exceptional. His discussion of the dynamics of 'Deal or No Deal' and 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' were not only extremely insightful but also highly entertaining. He was fabulous.” Thank you to @StrausInstitute and Stephanie Blondell for another opportunity to sharpen with leading professionals. #Mediation #LitigationStrategy #Negotiation #ADR #PepperdineLaw

Honored to receive a Band 1 ranking in the 2025 Chambers USA guide for Mediators. The Chambers editorial recognizes me as a thought leader and highlights feedback from anonymous reviewers describing me as a "quick study," “thorough, intelligent, and hard-working,” and skilled at “communicating both strengths and weaknesses.” 🔗 Chambers Profile #Mediation #ADR #ChambersUSA

A month ago, @PONHarvard convened leading practitioners and scholars on #AI and #negotiation. The #AINegotiationSummit was also the culmination of a student AI negotiation bot competition, held by @MIT. I wanted to share a link to the teaching materials. #Mediation pon.harvard.edu/teaching-mat…

Fired up for day two of @PONHarvard AI Negotiation Summit. Lots to digest.

For the 18th consecutive year (and five as 'Lawyer of the Year'), Best Lawyers has recognized me in mediation and arbitration following its compilation of peer surveys. I appreciate the feedback. #Mediation #Mediators #BestLawyers #DisputeResolution

I'm honored to again be recognized alongside 50 exceptional colleagues from across the country by @ChambersGuides in its USA – Nationwide – #Mediators category with another “Band 1” ranking (16 mediators). It turns on anonymous reviews by mediation users, for which I’m thankful.

Research psychologist who transformed “economics into a true behavioral science rather than a mere mathematical exercise” passed this week. With Prof. Tversky, he exposed hard-wired, universal brain “kinks” that predictably impact human decisions. adrtoolbox.com/2024/03/grand…
