Migraine Warrior

A Healing Essential for Sufferers

Joël's book on migraine — written for fellow sufferers, and for anyone interested in how careful self-observation and structured experimentation can be applied to a condition that resists easy answers.

Drawn from years of managing chronic migraines while building businesses, litigating cases, and competing at the national level in track cycling. Plain-spoken and practical.

Editorial & ongoing work

Beyond individual pieces, Joël contributes consistent editorial work and emerging research areas.

Editorial

ABA Forum on Construction · Dispute Resolver

Joël serves as Editor of the Dispute Resolver, the publication of the ABA Forum on Construction's Division 1. Quarterly editorial direction, contributor curation, and original writing.

Research

AI & the Future of Mediation

An active research and speaking thread — including the IAM Boston 2026 keynote. Examining where AI augments mediator practice, where it cannot replace human judgment, and what the next five years of ADR technology will demand.

Framework

The Standing Construction Mediator

Ongoing development of the SCM framework — a project-embedded mediation model for high-velocity statutory environments like California Civil Code § 8850. Original article, follow-up writing, and speaking engagements forthcoming.

Speaking, panels, podcasts, and commissioned writing — welcome.
