&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;After three months, the writers&amp;#8217; strike at last looks close to settlement. But I wonder whether, instead of the long hours of hard bargaining, the suffering&amp;#8212;both emotional and physical&amp;#8212;resulting from work stoppages, lost income and picket-sign fatigue, the two sides might have adopted a simpler, less painful form of dispute resolution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;In 2006, a federal judge in Florida, weary of the parties&amp;#8217; long-winded debates over seemingly trivial points, fashioned &amp;#8220;a new form of alternative dispute resolution&amp;#8221; to determine the location of a deposition:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;At 4:00 P.M. on Friday, June 30, 2006, counsel shall convene at a neutral site agreeable to both parties. If counsel cannot agree on a neutral site, they shall meet on the front steps of the Sam M. Gibbons U.S. Courthouse. &amp;#8230; Each lawyer shall be entitled to be accompanied by one paralegal who shall act as an attendant and witness. At that time and location, counsel shall engage in one (1) game of &quot;rock, paper, scissors.&quot; The winner of this engagement shall be entitled to select the location for the 30(b)(6) deposition to be held somewhere in Hillsborough County during the period July 11-12, 2006.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;If that longstanding method seems a little arbitrary, how about a more hands-on childhood favorite? Can you picture the grudge match between controversial filmmaker and corporate gadfly Michael Moore and Nick Counter, the ever-popular president of the Alliance of Motion Picture &amp;amp; Television Producers?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: right&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN&quot;&gt;- posted by vera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: right&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;(w/thanks to my bro for the rps &amp;amp; grudge match tips)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
