We are proud to present the Fall/Winter 2018 issue of the Newsletter of the Fed- eral Bar Association, Orange County Chapter. This issue features a practical primer on bankruptcy law for the non-bankruptcy federal practitioner, brought to you by Arjun Sivakumar and Honieh O.H. Uden from Brown Rudnick LLP. Also of great practical utility, Robert A. Mer- ring traces the history of discovery in arbitration, examines current trends and trajectories, and pro- vides strategies for working with the arbitrator and opposing counsel to fashion a reasonable discovery plan. Thank you to the authors for all your hard work and, as always, we welcome submissions for the next issue of the Newsletter. Brent S. Colasurdo Editor-in-Chief From the Editor FBA/OC P.O.
