Settling Significant Cases, Jeffrey R. Seul
Settling Significant Cases, Jeffrey R. Seul
Washington Law Review
Negotiation, mediation, and other consensus-based alternatives to litigation are most often studied and defended in the context of ordinary disputes, in which liability and distributive issues are contested, but the background norms that govern the outcome of a lawsuit are not. Many consider adjudication to be the only acceptable process for addressing "significant cases": disputes about abortion, school prayer, the environment, and other value-laden issues in which background norms are contested. I argue that this perspective is ironic because litigation, like negotiation, entails compromise. Litigation is a lottery in which the substantive values a party seeks to defend, and which …
Confidentiality In Victim Offender Mediation: A False Promise, Mary Ellen Reimund
Confidentiality In Victim Offender Mediation: A False Promise, Mary Ellen Reimund
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The intent of the article is to provide the framework by which victim offender programs can delve into the complexities of mediation confidentiality and avert potential disaster. First, a foundation is needed to explain the philosophical goals of restorative justice, the VOM process, and mediation as it relates to restorative justice. With that background, areas that are likely to spark confidentiality concerns will be discussed as will exemplary confidentiality statutes, cases, and the Uniform Mediation Act. By carving a path of awareness through this previously unexplored topic as it relates to VOM, there will be less likelihood of false promises …
Rwandan Gacaca: An Experiment In Transitional Justice, Maya Goldstein Bolocan
Rwandan Gacaca: An Experiment In Transitional Justice, Maya Goldstein Bolocan
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This paper argues that shifting the emphasis from the retributive nature of Gacaca to its restorative potential may, in the long term, offer better perspectives of peace and reconciliation to a deeply wounded society. It also argues that, where Gacaca retains its retributive element, it should do so while trying to respect the human rights of those brought before it. Part II of this paper briefly discusses the dominant model of transitional justice, namely the prosecutorial approach of criminal trials, and its effectiveness vis-A-vis alternatives that emphasize the search for truth and reconciliation instead of retribution. Part III provides a …
Arbitration Clauses Should Be Enforced According To Their Terms - Except When They Shouldn't Be: The Ninth Circuit Limits Parties' Ability To Contract For Standards Of Review Of Arbitration Awards - Kyocera Corporation V. Prudential-Bache Trade Services, Jonathan R. Bunch
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Arbitration is the process whereby parties submit disputes to a third, neutral party who will issue a decision that is both final and binding upon the parties. The Supreme Court has recognized arbitration as a valuable form of dispute resolution, with its primary advantages being speed, affordability, and the lower degree of hostility created by a less adversarial environment. In contrast to litigation, the standards of review for arbitral awards are defined in the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and are extremely narrow. In somewhat of a collision-course with the terms of the FAA is the fact that some courts have …
Open Issue: The Fifth Circuit's Misleading Interpretation Of An Arbitrator's Jurisdiction Under The Telecommunications Act Of 1996 - Coserv Limited Liability Corporation V. Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, An, Amanda Davis Anthony
Journal of Dispute Resolution
in Coserv v. Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., the Fifth Circuit addressed the meaning of "open issues" as related to an arbitrator's jurisdiction to decide issues not agreed upon in voluntary negotiations under provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Telecom Act) that ensure competition in local telephone service markets. Through statutory interpretation, the Fifth Circuit gave arbitrators almost limitless jurisdiction. In doing so, the Fifth Circuit cited to the Eleventh Circuit to support its view, but failed to acknowledge the opposite holding by the Eleventh Circuit on the same issue.

Issues Of Trust: Resolving Mismanagement Of The Indian Trust Fund - The Indian Money Account Claim Satisfaction Act Of 2003, Allison Cafer
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Land has been held in trust by the United States government for Native Americans since Congress enacted the General Allotment Act of 1887. In recent decades the management of the trust accounts has been called into question by the Native American beneficiaries and has resulted in complex litigation. The government has acknowledged that there has been gross mismanagement of the trusts, to the extent that balances in many of the individual accounts are unknown. After lengthy litigation resulting in victory for the Native Americans, Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell has introduced legislation that he claims will resolve the trust fund matter …
Assuring Excellence, Or Merely Reassuring - Policy And Practice In Promoting Mediator Quality, Charles Pou Jr.
Assuring Excellence, Or Merely Reassuring - Policy And Practice In Promoting Mediator Quality, Charles Pou Jr.
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Mediation practice in the United States has grown substantially over the last two decades, as has the number of people offering to serve as mediators. This growth has led some to argue that competency standards are needed to protect consumers and promote the integrity of mediation processes. While professionals and researchers have tried over the past fifteen years or so to define "what mediators do" and better understand "how to do it well," alternative dispute resolution (ADR) programs, roster administrators, and parties seeking neutrals have had to make day-to-day choices.

On Hostile Ground: Ohio's Notice To Insolvent Insurance Companies With Arbitration Agreements - Bejamin V. Pipoly, Frank C. Koranda Jr.
On Hostile Ground: Ohio's Notice To Insolvent Insurance Companies With Arbitration Agreements - Bejamin V. Pipoly, Frank C. Koranda Jr.
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In Benjamin v. Popoly, the Court of Appeals of Ohio reviewed whether the liquidator of an insolvent insurance company have the power to avoid the enforcement of arbitration agreements. The court held that the broad statutory power conferred to a liquidator permitted them to affirm or disavow any contracts made by the insolvent insurance companies, including any contractual provisions for the arbitration of disputes. The court also expressly overruled prior Ohio case law regarding the status of arbitration agreements in insurance insolvency.

Adjudicating In Anarchy: An Expressive Theory Of International Dispute Resolution, Tom Ginsburg, Richard H. Mcadams
Adjudicating In Anarchy: An Expressive Theory Of International Dispute Resolution, Tom Ginsburg, Richard H. Mcadams
William & Mary Law Review
Frequent compliance with the adjudicative decisions of international institutions, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), is puzzling because these institutions do not have the power domestic courts possess to impose sanctions. This Article uses game theory to explain the power of international adjudication via a set of expressive theories, showing how law can be effective without sanctions. When two parties disagree about conventions that arise in recurrent situations involving coordination, such as a convention of deferring to territorial claims of first possessors, the pronouncements of third-party legal decision makers-adjudicators--can influence their behavior in two ways. First, adjudicative expression …
Government-To-Citizen Online Dispute Resolution: A Preliminary Inquiry, Anita Ramasastry
Government-To-Citizen Online Dispute Resolution: A Preliminary Inquiry, Anita Ramasastry
Washington Law Review
This Article first examines the use of ODR [online dispute resolution] as a tool for private sector dispute resolution. It explores some of the reasons for a slower rate of uptake in business-to-consumer e-commerce disputes. The Article then suggests that a new and innovative use for ODR may be for public sector dispute resolution—between governments and citizens. The use of technology for public dispute resolution may promote access to justice in the administrative context.
Using Adr To Resolve Online Disputes, Aashit Shah
Using Adr To Resolve Online Disputes, Aashit Shah
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
In the context of the Internet, where parties located in different corners of the world can contract with each other at the click of a mouse, litigation of online disputes is often inconvenient, impractical, time-consuming and prohibitive. Providing an alternative approach to resolve online disputes might assist in redressing grievances and gaining consumer confidence in e-commerce. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is an appurtenant candidate for such an approach. The Virtual Magistrate Project, launched in 1996, initiated the idea of using ADR to resolve Internet-related disputes. The joint statement promoting the use of ADR in cyberspace, made by the European Union …

A Normative Critique Of Private Domain Name Dispute Resolution, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 625 (2004), J.R. Hildenbrand
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In recent years, much has been made of the rapid expansion and tremendous commercial potential of the Internet. As such, domain names that contain or imply an entities trademarked name have become extremely valuable to these entities. The difficulty, however, is balancing the rights of the trademark owners with Internet users within the burgeoning commercial environment. This comment examines the balance between the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and traditional trademark protection. It discusses several persuasive documents including the International Trademark Association’s 1997 White Paper and the United States Department of Commerce’s Green and White papers. The comment further develops …

Terminating Public School Teachers For Cause Under Minnesota Law, Christine D. Ver Ploeg
Terminating Public School Teachers For Cause Under Minnesota Law, Christine D. Ver Ploeg
William Mitchell Law Review
It is important to understand the realities that surround the discharge of a teacher, for embarking upon this path promises to be painful for everyone involved. Teachers who challenge allegations that they are personally or professionally unworthy of continuing to teach in their districts--or perhaps to continue to teach at all--understandably experience extraordinary trauma and anxiety. By the same token, districts that ultimately fail to prove the case for discharge can face significant financial liability and may even be forced to reinstate teachers who have been found to be deficient. Finally, these efforts often divide schools and communities because teachers, …

Case Note: Contracts—Into The Void: Minnesota Limits Application Of The Prima Paint Doctrine—Onvoy, Inc. V. Shal, Llc, Mikel D. Johnson
William Mitchell Law Review
This note first gives a brief overview of arbitration use in the United States. It then discusses the Onvoy decision and provides an analysis of the Minnesota Supreme Court’s ruling. Finally, the note concludes that the court’s holding properly weighs Minnesota’s strong presumption in favor of arbitration against the need to allow access to the courts.

Divorce Child Custody Mediation: In Order To Form A More Perfect Disunion , Ben Barlow
Cleveland State Law Review
The adversarial process serves its purpose in our society; however, that does not mean that there are not better ways to handle specific cases. To that end, nonadversarial systems offer tremendous potential in civil litigation, in governmental relations, in neighborhood and family conflicts, and, especially, in divorce child custody cases. If mediation statutes are contemplated for the sole purpose of judicial economy, discretionary statutes are sufficient. For the true value of mediation to be experienced, however, a mandatory scheme containing safeguards for cases involving domestic violence should be implemented.Understandably, many mediators are leery of the effect that mandatory schemes have …
