Editor’s note: second in a series.

The first of these articles, which appeared in The Legal on April 18, relating to res judicata (claim preclusion) and collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) focused principally on difficulties presented when claim preclusion is sought following an award in arbitration. The article concluded that “similar but perhaps more confusing issues are presented when dealing with collateral estoppel [issue preclusion] following arbitration.”
