Lisa Blomgren Amsler (formerly Lisa B. Bingham) is Keller-Runden Professor, Indiana University Paul H. O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Saltman Senior Scholar, University of Nevada Las Vegas William S. Boyd School of Law.

Amsler coined the phrase "repeat player effect" in her 1997 article on mandatory or adhesive non-union employment arbitration, the first empirical research on this phenomenon, most recently cited by the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in Monster Energy v. City Beverages. She directed the United States Postal Service REDRESS National Evaluation Project on employment discrimination complaints, collecting longitudinal data of the world's largest employment mediation program (1994-2006).
