Abstract

This essay reviews the competing claims in the American Bankruptcy Law Journal’s “Vanishing Trials” symposium. The essay concludes the contributions to the symposium are not as disparate as they might at first appear. One must distinguish between the level of contentiousness in a legal system and the mechanisms by which the system resolves disputes in those proceedings that become contentious.
