The Republican race only worsened by virtue of Trump’s widening margin after his coral of majorities yesterday in Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii. [1] There appears to be potential room for Ted Cruz if Marco Rubio and John Kasich were to fall in line behind him … but they won’t.

‘May you always be able to look further beyond the horizon than your neighbor. Yet, let it not be so far beyond that you can’t point it out to him.’

The Uniform Mediation Act at bedrock is undergirded with the idea that mediators are there to facilitate a process. The claim then is that the parties are the experts at the conflict and the mediator is the expert in the
