This article examines the strict disclosure standards under the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes and the more lenient conflict-of-interest guidelines promulgated by the International Bar Association, and discusses them in light of the two 5th Circuit decisions in Positive Software Solutions v.

He advocates following the disclosure standards in jurisdictions where the award might be enforced, if those standards are more stringent, in order to avoid having the award challenged on nondisclosure grounds in the enforcing jurisdiction.

A powerful example of this is the release of publicly available information about Justice Scalia by Fordham law students.15 The new landscape of information accessibility and flow calls into question whether the common good requires new principles, controls, and regulation.16 Most of the debate and writing that addresses the conflict between privacy and public records has centered on the issue of court records17 and the issue of community notification laws for sex offenders, also called Megan's Laws.18 Dan Solove notes that courts can seal court records if the importance of confidentiality in a particular context outweighs the need for public access;19 a trial court can permit a plaintiff to proceed with the use of a pseudonym;20 and courts can permit anonymous juries.21 However, mo...

In particular, this rule does not require the eligibility link between HCBS and institutional care that exists under the Medicaid HCBS waiver program. This regulation would descri...
