Deserts Still Need Water: Using Adr Processes To Support Rural Residents And Counter The Challenges Stemming From The Shortage Of Lawyers In The “Great American Legal Desert”, Whitney Heuermann
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Researchers dub rural America the “Great American Legal Desert,” deriving its nickname from the fact that roughly 20% of the nation's population lives in rural America while only 2% of small law practices are located in rural areas. This comment proposes that an increase in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) programming and usage serves as a viable avenue to alleviate the lawyer shortage’s harmful effects in rural America. This note begins by generally identifying ADR’s pros, such as cost, privacy, and community preservation, and then correlating these advantages to various aspects of rural America. ADR programming in Kentucky, Idaho, and Kansas …

To foster dialogue and encourage community engagement surrounding these issues, this year The Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal (DRLJ) hosted its annual symposium in collaboration with the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution and the Weinstein International Foundation to explore how elements of alternative dispute resolution can apply to community policing strategies to prevent and deescalate crime. The symposium, “The Tactics of Resolution: Exploring International Innovation in Law Enforcement and Conflict Resolution,” brought students, law enforcement officials, academics, and policymakers together to engage in enriching conversations on how to establish safer and more harmonious global community
Not Your Mother’S Marriage: Utilizing Intergenerational Trauma-Informed Divorce Mediation To Discourage Unhealthy Relational Cycles In Children Of Divorce, Abigail Davis
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
This article discusses how divorce mediators can discourage cycles of broken relationships and reduce a child’s likelihood of experiencing intergenerational trauma as a result of the dissolution of their parents’ marriage. Divorce mediators must become knowledgeable about the impact of intergenerational trauma and the most favorable mediation outcomes for the wellbeing of the children involved. This includes encouraging families into an optimal settlement, referring parties to important resources for proactive parenting, making necessary mental health referrals, and enhancing the lives of children experiencing divorce. A mediator well-equipped with a strong referral system and cross-disciplinary knowledge of social, emotional, and behavioral …
A Polygamist Proposal: How Dispute Resolution Techniques Provide Solutions In The Polygamy Debate, Ellie Martinez
A Polygamist Proposal: How Dispute Resolution Techniques Provide Solutions In The Polygamy Debate, Ellie Martinez
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
In 2020, Utah passed a bill decriminalizing polygamy. However, this legislation only addresses the peripheral interests of polygamous families as many are still disadvantaged. This comment argues the application of dispute resolution techniques would have resulted in a better solution than the current legislation by increasing value-creation for everyone involved. Part II sets the foundation by delving into the treacherous history of polygamy at both the state level in Utah and the Federal level in the United States. Part III details the passing of the Bigamy Amendments. Part IV identifies relevant parties—many of whom were left out of consideration when …
The New Elephant In The Room: Why All Professionals Need To Learn About Personality Disorders, Bill Eddy
The New Elephant In The Room: Why All Professionals Need To Learn About Personality Disorders, Bill Eddy
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Approximately 10% of adults worldwide have a personality disorder, according to the diagnostic manual of mental health professionals currently known as the DSM-5-TR. Unlike other mental health diagnoses, personality disorders are primarily interpersonal disorders leading to frequent conflicts with those around the person due to enduring patterns of rigid behavior, exaggerated interpretation of events, difficulty managing emotions, and impulse control problems. Yet dispute resolution professionals and other professionals generally have little knowledge of personality disorders and the role they play in their work, especially with “difficult” clients or “high conflict” disputes. Indications suggest personality disorders are increasing in family disputes, …
Digital Coercive Control (Dcc): The Role Of Platforms In Victims’ (In)Justice And Potential For Online Dispute Resolution, Reeve Lanigan
Digital Coercive Control (Dcc): The Role Of Platforms In Victims’ (In)Justice And Potential For Online Dispute Resolution, Reeve Lanigan
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Domestic violence (DV) is a form of gender-based violence characterized by acts of coercion whereby a perpetrator employs power and control to isolate, surveil, harass, and abuse a current or former intimate partner. The rise of and reliance on digital technologies, especially social networking sites, have intensified gender-based violence and methods of perpetuating DV. The term Digital Coercive Control (DCC) describes mechanisms perpetrators use to stalk, harass, and abuse current or former partners in cyberspace through technological platforms and their associated social media sites. The widespread expansion and power allocated to social networking sites and technology platforms has perpetuated the …
Expanding The Role Of Victim-Offender Mediation In The Criminal Justice System: Mediating Cases Of Involuntary Manslaughter, Doyeon Kim
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Involuntary manslaughter is distinguishable from other types of murder by the perpetrator’s lack of intent to kill. This lack of intent suggests that restorative justice programs, specifically victim-offender mediation, may be a better alternative compared to the traditional adversarial criminal justice system because offenders can express their remorse and victims can receive closure through a facilitated dialogue. Limiting the scope of remedies in criminal proceedings to incarceration has led to serious financial and societal ramifications, as well as harmful psychological and emotional repercussions by failing to address the underlying lasting impacts of crime on victims, offenders, loved ones, and the …
In The Shadow Of The Law: Applying Therapeutic Approaches To Sexual Harassment Conflicts In The Context Of #Metoo, Michal Alberstein, Shira Rosenberg-Lavi
In The Shadow Of The Law: Applying Therapeutic Approaches To Sexual Harassment Conflicts In The Context Of #Metoo, Michal Alberstein, Shira Rosenberg-Lavi
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
This article comprises a firsthand account of working as a university Sexual Harassment Commissioner (SHC), a role that manifests a combination of law and advanced conflict resolution practice. It offers a working model grounded in alternative justice principles to address sexual harassment and other, similar types of conflict. The resultant therapeutic and conflict resolution approach may apply to other institutions and other areas of law and society as well. Moreover, it fits in well during the era of #MeToo, where women raised their voices to challenge grave offenses such as rape, as well as attitudes, patterns, and allegedly “small” and …
Eldercaring Coordination: The New Dispute Resolution Process To Address The Age-Old Problem Of Old-Age, Fran L. Tetunic
Eldercaring Coordination: The New Dispute Resolution Process To Address The Age-Old Problem Of Old-Age, Fran L. Tetunic
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Eldercaring Coordination refers to a dispute resolution process which seeks to address the needs of senior family members. This new process aims to solve conflicts concerning the lives and finances of aging family members. It arises from the need to provide elders a voice in important decisions concerning their lives and guide families in high conflict disputes towards productive decision-making focused on the best interests of the elderly. The eldercaring coordinator works with legally-authorized decision-makers and other participants to resolve disputes related to an elderly person’s safety and autonomy. The United Nations recognizes eldercaring coordination as an Action Model for …
Is The Use Of Artificial Intelligence In Alternative Dispute Resolution A Viable Option Or Wishful Thinking?, Samuel D. Hodge Jr.
Is The Use Of Artificial Intelligence In Alternative Dispute Resolution A Viable Option Or Wishful Thinking?, Samuel D. Hodge Jr.
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
This article delves into the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and the legal profession, particularly in the context of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The introduction sets the stage by highlighting AI's transformative potential in reshaping legal practice through automation, efficiency, and data-driven insights. While acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding AI's long-term impact on the legal landscape, it emphasizes the need for investigation and adaptation as the technology evolves. Key considerations, such as AI technology's limitations, regulatory challenges, and ethical implications, are also addressed. Despite the promises of efficiency and accessibility, questions remain about AI's ability to replicate human reasoning and …
From Hunch To Analysis: Risk Management In Tiered Dispute Resolution Processes, Troy L. Harris
From Hunch To Analysis: Risk Management In Tiered Dispute Resolution Processes, Troy L. Harris
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
The dispute resolution is process is filled with risk that decision-makers must identify, analyze, and manage. Risks can include unclear and conflicting objectives and uncertainties regarding strategic alternatives. While many litigators are adept at identifying these risks, systematic analysis and management of them is not typically part of lawyers’ education or training. And yet there is a rich body of management scholarship devoted to risk analysis and decision-making based upon multiple criteria. This article brings the insights of this management literature to bear upon a phenomenon commonly found in relational contracting, the “tiered” dispute resolution process. The article demonstrates that …
Fitting The Communication Forum To The Mediation Fuss: Choosing The Appropriate Communication Mode For Mediation In The Post-Pandemic World, Dorcas Quek Anderson
Fitting The Communication Forum To The Mediation Fuss: Choosing The Appropriate Communication Mode For Mediation In The Post-Pandemic World, Dorcas Quek Anderson
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, mediations have shifted dramatically from face-to-face settings to the virtual realm, resulting in the widespread acceptance of using virtual communication channels, including videoconferencing, audio calls, and text messaging. With the waning of the pandemic, mediators and parties presently face a plethora of choices in fitting their mediation to the appropriate communication channel. Thus, having an accurate, evidence-based understanding of different communication modes’ impact on mediation is necessary to design an optimal mediation process. Some decades ago, Sander and Goldberg formulated the phrase “fitting the forum to the fuss” to describe the process of choosing the most …
Economic Sanctions And Article V(2)(B) Of The New York Convention: A Touchy Interaction Exacerbated By The Ukraine-Russia Conflict, Alberto Pomari
Economic Sanctions And Article V(2)(B) Of The New York Convention: A Touchy Interaction Exacerbated By The Ukraine-Russia Conflict, Alberto Pomari
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
States have deployed an unprecedented wave of unilateral sanctions in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They have also escalated the political connotation of economic sanctions by aggressively implementing them extraterritorially. This exercise of lawfare, substituting economic sanctions for armed conflict, raises the question of whether to consider unilateral sanctions elements of public policy within the meaning of Article V(2)(b) of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. This article seeks to clarify the interplay between Article V(2)(b) and economic sanctions. Explaining the two different approaches that domestic courts implement worldwide, recent court …
Decentralized Dispute Resolution: Using Blockchain Technology And Smart Contracts In Arbitration, Christoph Salger
Decentralized Dispute Resolution: Using Blockchain Technology And Smart Contracts In Arbitration, Christoph Salger
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Can blockchain technology and smart contracts be used in the context of alternative dispute resolution, particularly arbitration, turning traditional procedures on their head? This article discusses various possible applications of blockchain technology and smart contracts in ADR. In particular, it addresses the possibility of fully automated execution of arbitral awards using a smart contract through so-called escrow mechanisms. Subsequently, it presents two promising approaches of so-called Decentralized Dispute Resolution (DDR), including Expert-Pooling and Crowdarbitration. DDR generally involves decisions made jointly by multiple or even all participants in a network (usually a blockchain network), rather than by just one or two …
Social Media: One Of Fast Fashion’S Biggest Influencers Why Legal Intervention Is Essential To Reduce Social Media’S Promotion Of Fast Fashion– An Industry Founded On Unsustainable Business Practices, Abigail Mccann
Student Journal of Information Privacy Law
The purpose of this paper is to convey why legal intervention is an essential step in curtailing social media’s promotion of fast fashion, which often occurs through brand utilization of various predatory advertising methods. Research has suggested growing opposition to both social media and clothing regulations. As a result, the most proactive way to confront the issue is by attacking corporate activity head-on. This will occur through the implementation of a mandatory three-factor sustainability compliance program, required for all fast fashion corporations advertising via social media. Additionally, to ensure brand transparency, compliance with the program will require the publication of …
Examining Netchoice And Murthy: Content Moderation In The Hands Of The Supreme Court, Devin B. Forbush
Examining Netchoice And Murthy: Content Moderation In The Hands Of The Supreme Court, Devin B. Forbush
Student Journal of Information Privacy Law
The right to free speech is often justified by the idea that an undisturbed marketplace of ideas is an essential ingredient for a healthy democracy. While in many cases we may believe the views espoused by that speech are incorrect, ignorant, or even harmful, those reasons do not justify silencing those views. In 2024, there is a clear social divide between social media platforms’ content-moderation practices. On one side, anti-moderation advocates opine that social media platforms have a distinct and pervasive bias in moderating user content and viewpoints indiscriminately. On the other side, many advocates contend that social media platforms …
Who Should Be Liable? Examining The Corporate Liability Regime For Cybersecurity Risks, Angel R. Gardner
Who Should Be Liable? Examining The Corporate Liability Regime For Cybersecurity Risks, Angel R. Gardner
Student Journal of Information Privacy Law
The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) poses new and substantial security risks for individual and national security. The IoT leaves networks susceptible to hacking, a form of unauthorized access into another person’s system or device. All devices that use the IoT are at risk of unauthorized access—a few examples include vehicles or medical devices. Currently, there are no regulations requiring corporations to protect their software from unauthorized intrusions. However, the current tort landscape does not allow for individuals to recover when there are unauthorized network intrusions where there is no tangible harm. This paper discusses why cybersecurity intrusions …
Taking Matters Into Your Own Hands; Using The Private Rights Of Action In Udap Statutes To Hold Businesses Accountable For Data Breaches, Deirdre Sullivan
Taking Matters Into Your Own Hands; Using The Private Rights Of Action In Udap Statutes To Hold Businesses Accountable For Data Breaches, Deirdre Sullivan
Student Journal of Information Privacy Law
The private rights of action in state unfair and deceptive acts and practices (UDAP) laws present a promising way for consumers to recover after a data breach. Plaintiffs’ attorneys have faced challenges in pleading data breach claims under negligence, unjust enrichment, and state data breach notification theories—significantly their challenges stem from issues with standing. UDAP statutes, modeled after s.5 of the FTC Act, present a plausible path to recovery for plaintiffs, with more success in regard to issues of standing. This paper will analyze UDAP claims in four different states and explore the success plaintiffs have had so far, and …

An Inadequate Band-Aid: Existing Privacy Law Has Uncertain Application To Web-Scraped Personal Information Used To Train Ai, Jody L. Eckman
An Inadequate Band-Aid: Existing Privacy Law Has Uncertain Application To Web-Scraped Personal Information Used To Train Ai, Jody L. Eckman
Student Journal of Information Privacy Law
To legislate high-growth technology requires fine-tuned balance, but the current state of AI legislation swings in favor of AI providers given U.S. lawmakers near non-existent response. From healthcare to education, the financial industry to the legal field, AI has gained a grip stronger than any legal band-aid lawmakers might believe to be in place and protecting consumers. I argue that based on a survey of current U.S. legislation, AI providers are being given the chance to have their cake and eat it too at the expense of consumers’ rights. Such a perfectly permissible feast is why lawmakers must promptly and …
The Right To Privacy And The Japanese Constitution, Mark A. Sayre
The Right To Privacy And The Japanese Constitution, Mark A. Sayre
Student Journal of Information Privacy Law
Much focus has been placed on the rapid adoption of laws and regulations governing information and data privacy around the globe. While such laws and regulations are undoubtedly critical in quelling increasing concerns about invasions of privacy enabled by technological advancements, a focus on new laws and regulations alone overlooks a critical and more foundational source of privacy rights—national constitutions. This paper analyzes whether a right to privacy exists under the Japanese Constitution and how the nature and scope of such a right is impacted by Japanese culture. An overview of key early court cases framing the right to privacy …

Estética Relacional De Los Juegos De Rol., Juan Manuel Díaz
Estética Relacional De Los Juegos De Rol., Juan Manuel Díaz
Journal of Roleplaying Studies and STEAM
El presente escrito son los primeros esbozos de una investigación mayor, la cual busca establecer que los juegos de rol son una forma artística fundamentada en la llamada estética relacional propuesta por Nicolas Bourriaud. Hubo trabajos previos que alimentaron este artículo[1]. La idea central es pensar al acontecimiento estético como la fase más alta de un proceso de agregación en donde diferentes dimensiones de la vida de los jugadores y planos existenciales (juego, reglas, mundo social, mundo narrativo, etc) se aglomeran para generar la experiencia estética. En este sentido, lo estético en los juegos de rol es algo …

Las Figuras De Juegos De Rol Como Soporte Para La Apropiación De Personajes, Roberto Adrián García Madrid, Blanca Estela Lopez Perez
Journal of Roleplaying Studies and STEAM
El desarrollo de juegos de rol implica la consideración de diversos elementos, como temática, historia y personajes. Un aspecto es la utilización de figuras en miniatura, que actúan como avatares físicos en la narración del juego. Estas figuras contribuyen a la identificación entre jugadores y personajes, así como a la construcción de escenas y al entendimiento del desempeño de los personajes.
Cada juego ofrece diversas opciones de avatares, con distintos niveles de abstracción y representación. El mercado de figuras proporciona una amplia variedad de personajes con diferentes poses y técnicas de pintura, enriqueciendo la experiencia de construcción avatares. Identificar los …

Nickel Mining In New Caledonia And The Inflation Reduction Act, Hannah Jellema
Nickel Mining In New Caledonia And The Inflation Reduction Act, Hannah Jellema
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) marked a step forward for the United States in incentivizing clean energy and reducing national reliance on fossil fuels. However, the IRA’s critical mineral requirement restricts the eligibility of electric vehicles for tax credits based on the origin or processing location of minerals used in electric vehicle batteries. The French territory of New Caledonia contains nickel reserves that would be invaluable to the production of electric vehicle batteries in the U.S. However, under the Inflation Reduction Act’s critical mineral requirement, the use of New Caledonian nickel in electric vehicle batteries may inhibit …
Stimulating Fraud: Comparing The Effectiveness Of Fraud Recovery Mechanisms Between The United States And The United Kingdom Through The Lens Of Public Covid-19 Expenditures, James G. Bozza
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
Fraud committed against the U.S. government is one of the largest costs that taxpayers must bear. The False Claims Act has been the most effective monetary fraud recovery mechanism in history. The question remains, however, of if it will continue to be as useful given modern trends of increased spending. An analysis of the U.S. fraud recovery model compared to the United Kingdom through the lens of Covid-19 expenditures demonstrates both the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. model and provides reasoning for legislative alteration.

Untouchable Sovereign Debts: Towards A New Model Of Transitional Justice And Global Finance, Cosmas Emeziem
Untouchable Sovereign Debts: Towards A New Model Of Transitional Justice And Global Finance, Cosmas Emeziem
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
Who bears the cost of peace in societies transitioning from oppressive regimes? Who is responsible for paying back the debts incurred by dictators? These questions are crucial in transitional justice situations, yet the discipline discusses debts and transitional justice separately. While sovereign debts are viewed within markets and global economic frameworks, transitional justice is considered within citizens and human rights frameworks. This approach is flawed as it marginalizes human dignity and social justice considerations.
To rectify this schism, this Article brings these two legal spheres together in an epistemic dialogue using sovereign debt as the point of intersection. In transitional …
International Prescriptive Jurisdiction And American Conflict Of Laws, Eric T. Laity
International Prescriptive Jurisdiction And American Conflict Of Laws, Eric T. Laity
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
Today’s conflicts law embraces two approaches: an early 20th century approach that chooses between states based on their territory and a mid- century approach that chooses between individual legal rules based on posited governmental interests. Although both approaches have merit, neither is fully conscious of lawmakers’ comprehensive plans for economic and social development and the related matters of institutional competence. As a result, both approaches may lead to unsatisfactory choices of law to govern regulated contracts and relationships.
To produce more satisfying choices of law for regulated contracts and relationships, this Article proposes a third approach to conflicts law. The …
