  • Alternatives to the Current US Litigation System

    The American business community and many foreign companies as well seek creative alternatives to the American legal system and uncertain and costly litigation. As the Former Administrator of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, and other similar alternatives, Kenneth Feinberg focuses on contrasting these more efficient solutions rather than access to the courtroom.

Who Gets What: Fair Compensation after Tragedy and Financial Upheaval
Who Gets What: Fair Compensation after Tragedy and Financial Upheaval

Agent Orange, the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, the Virginia Tech massacre, the 2008 financial crisis, and the Deep Horizon gulf oil spill: each was a disaster in its own right. What they had in common was their aftermath -- each required compensation for lives lost, bodies maimed, livelihoods wrecked, economies and ecosystems upended. In each instance, an objective third party had to step up and dole out allocated funds: in each instance, Presidents, Attorneys General, and other public officials have asked Kenneth R. Feinberg to get the job done.
