I disagree with Jones, who says “How is it fair for a panel to render an opinion, but not tell any of the parties the basis for the opinion?” and “That can’t be fair. That’s fundamentally unconstitutional.” The article doesn’t indicate a basis for the panel’s opinion would be denied to the parties involved. There is no reason to suppose it is any more unfair than arbitration and it certainly has nothing to do with our constitution. If the panel can decrease the number of outrageous and frivolous lawsuits, then I’m all for it.
