NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Chris Guthrie, professor of law at Vanderbilt
University, was awarded the Professional Articles Prize by the CPR
Institute for Dispute Resolution for his article "Panacea or Pandora’s
Box?: The Costs of Options in Negotiation" at the institute’s 21st
Annual Awards Program in New York in January. The article was published
in the Iowa Law Review last year.

In 2001, Guthrie shared this prize with two co-authors of another
article, "Inside the Judicial Mind." It is rare for a scholar to win
the prize more than once.

Guthrie joined the Vanderbilt faculty in 2002 from the University of
Missouri School of Law, where he was associate dean, associate
professor and senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Dispute
Resolution. He teaches courses in dispute resolution, negotiation and
torts at the Law School.

The CPR Institute is a widely respected alliance of 500 global
corporations and leading law firms at the forefront of resolving
business and public disputes through mediation and other forms of
dispute resolution.
