Book Review: The Conflict Paradox: Seven Dilemmas at the Core of Disputes by Bernie Mayer
Get PDFBernie Mayer\u27s latest book is an excellent journey into seven key dilemmas in conflict. Mayer devotes a chapter to each of the following dilemmas: Competition and Cooperation, Optimism and Realism, Avoidance and Engagement, Principle and Compromise, Emotions and Logic, Impartiality and Advocacy, and Autonomy and Community.

In 2005, the Arkansas legislature enacted a slightly modified version of the Uniform Trust Code (UTC), titled the Arkansas Trust Code (ATC). At that time, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review published my article summarizing the most important features of the new Trust Code, compared and contrasted with the then-current Arkansas common law of trusts. Since then, over ten years have passed, rendering further commentary timely. This update addresses two broad themes. Part II examines how the ATC has fared in Arkansas courts. Part III discusses some recent aspects of Arkansas trust law not covered by the ATC. Overall, the cases and statutes discussed are examined in the context of how they affect estate planning and administration
