- Authors
Edelman, Lester
- Abstract
The article focuses on the testimony of Lester Edelman, chief counsel of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACE), at the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's hearings on the proposed Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1988, held May 25, 1988. Although the ACE has explored the use of alternative dispute resolution in many areas, its initial use by the ACE, and certainly the ACE's most comprehensive experience, has been in the area of contract disputes. In contract claim litigation, the ACE has successfully used mini-trials and nonbinding arbitration, and it expects in the near future to use disputes resolution panels. The ACE has also successfully used alternative dispute resolution to resolve environmental disputes. It recently conducted a mini-trial between Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and the ACE involving the resolution of responsibility for contamination at a site in Arizona formerly used by the Navy during the 1950s. The mini-trial, held in late May 1988, was successfully concluded.
