AAML Pennsylvania Chapter Fellows Robb Bunde and Carolyn Zack attended the ceremonial signing of the Pennsylvania Family Law Arbitration Act by Governor Josh Shapiro on October 22, 2024. Also pictured are Anna King (Director of Legislative Affairs for the PBA); Representative Melissa Shusterman (prime sponsor of the bill); David Vitali; Tim Clawges (House Judiciary Committee Executive Director); Representative Liz Hanbidge; Representative Kate Klunk; and Representative Tina Davis. Robb and Carolyn led a four-year effort by the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Family Law Section to promote family law-specific arbitration legislation to improve the arbitration process for family law participants. On March 14, 2024, the AAML Board of Governors adopted a resolution to, among other things, encourage each state’s AAML chapter to work with their legislature to introduce the Uniform Family Law Arbitration Act (“UFLAA”), with modifications as appropriate to codify or incorporate any established family law arbitration caselaw, statutes, policies or procedures, and with the goal of helping family law litigants resolve their matters expeditiously, competently, cost efficiently, and confidentially in this alternative dispute forum. Pennsylvania is the latest state to adopt the UFLAA.
