'Domesticating' The New York Convention: The Impact Of The Federal Arbitration Act, George A. Bermann
'Domesticating' The New York Convention: The Impact Of The Federal Arbitration Act, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
Much as one may try to universalize and even ‘de-nationalize’ international commercial arbitration – whether through Conventions, uniform or model laws or soft law – the phenomenon remains profoundly affected by national law and policy. That is indeed very much one of the leitmotifs of this book.
The incongruities – big and small – between domestic and international arbitration regimes typically present themselves on a purely ad hoc basis; that is to say, in specific and often isolated contexts, as when a particular case in a national court produces a result that looks anomalous from the point of view of …

The Mediation Export Explosion And The ‘Hidden’ Drive Towards Harmonisation, Nadja Alexander

In this post on the Kluwer Mediation Blog, the importance of harmonising the law and practice of mediation internationally is discussed.
Securing Natural Justice In Arbitration Proceedings, Austin Ignatius Pulle
Securing Natural Justice In Arbitration Proceedings, Austin Ignatius Pulle
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The legitimacy and integrity of any system that adjudicates the rights and duties ofpersons would be evaluated by reference to the standards required by the principles of natural justice. Arbitration is becoming more popular as a system of dispute resolution because of the exponential increase of cross-border transactions that are a feature of globalization. Now arbitrations take place in countries that lack a well-developed arbitration culture. Courts in some of these countries have yet to develop a coherent body of law that clarifies and gives effect to the principles of natural justice. Moreover, important values protected by natural justice principles …
The Role Of Equipoise In Family Law, Deborah Cantrell
The Role Of Equipoise In Family Law, Deborah Cantrell
Publications
Scholars reviewing family law over the last twenty years have described the field as having undergone a revolution. While true, both scholars and front-line family law advocates have failed to invent a satisfying end to the revolution. This Article takes up that challenge and offers a novel way forward, It identifies two translation challenges that have prevented the revolution from reaching its end. The first challenge is translating reform so that its benefits accrue equally across all kinds of participants--rich and poor, those with lawyers and those without. The second challenge is translating theory into on-the-ground practices useful to family …
The Moral Dimension Of Employment Dispute Resolution, Theodore J. St. Antoine
The Moral Dimension Of Employment Dispute Resolution, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
Dispute resolution may be viewed from the perspective of economics or negotiation or contract law or game theory or even military strategy. In this Article, I should like to consider employment dispute resolution in particular from the perspective of morality. I do not necessarily mean "morality" in any religious sense. By "morality" here I mean a concern about the inherent dignity and worth of every human being and the way each one should be treated by society. Some persons who best exemplify that attitude would style themselves secular humanists. Nonetheless, over the centuries religions across the globe have played a …
Party Autonomy And Access To Justice In The Uncitral Online Dispute Resolution Project, Ronald A. Brand
Party Autonomy And Access To Justice In The Uncitral Online Dispute Resolution Project, Ronald A. Brand
Articles
The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has directed its Working Group III to prepare instruments that would provide the framework for a global system of online dispute resolution (ODR). Negotiations began in December 2010 and have produced an as-yet-incomplete set of procedural rules for ODR. It is anticipated that three other documents will be prepared, addressing substantive principles to be applied in ODR, guidelines and minimum requirements for ODR providers and neutrals, and a cross-border mechanism for enforcement of the resulting ODR decisions on a global basis.
The most difficult issues in the ODR negotiations are centered …
Access-To-Justice Analysis On A Due Process Platform, Ronald A. Brand
Access-To-Justice Analysis On A Due Process Platform, Ronald A. Brand
Articles
In their article, Forum Non Conveniens and The Enforcement of Foreign Judgments, Christopher Whytock and Cassandra Burke Robertson provide a wonderful ride through the landscape of the law of both forum non convenience and judgments recognition and enforcement. They explain doctrinal development and current case law clearly and efficiently, in a manner that educates, but does not overburden, the reader. Based upon that explanation, they then provide an analysis of both areas of the law and offer suggestions for change. Those suggestions, they tell us, are necessary to close the “transnational access-to-justice gap” that results from apparent differences between rules …
Legal Process In A Box, Or What Class Action Waivers Teach Us About Law-Making, Rhonda Wasserman
Legal Process In A Box, Or What Class Action Waivers Teach Us About Law-Making, Rhonda Wasserman
Articles
The Supreme Court’s decision in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion advanced an agenda found in neither the text nor the legislative history of the Federal Arbitration Act. Concepcion provoked a maelstrom of reactions not only from the press and the academy, but also from Congress, federal agencies and lower courts, as they struggled to interpret, apply, reverse, or cabin the Court’s blockbuster decision. These reactions raise a host of provocative questions about the relationships among the branches of government and between the Supreme Court and the lower courts. Among other questions, Concepcion and its aftermath force us to grapple with the …
Surrogate Decision-Making Standards For Guardians: Theory And Reality, Lawrence A. Frolik, Linda S. Whitton
Surrogate Decision-Making Standards For Guardians: Theory And Reality, Lawrence A. Frolik, Linda S. Whitton
Articles
This Article examines the theoretical and practical implications of the substituted judgment and best interest standards for decision making by guardians. After providing an overview of the current decision-making standards in guardianship statutes, the Article synthesizes theoretical debates about what these standards mean and whether they provide an effective paradigm for surrogate decision makers. The authors then use new survey data to offer conclusions about the degree to which the substituted judgment and best interest standards are understood and meaningfully applied by guardians.
The "Gateway" Problem In International Commercial Arbitration, George A. Bermann
The "Gateway" Problem In International Commercial Arbitration, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
Participants in international commercial arbitration have long recognized the need to maintain arbitration as an effective and therefore attractive alternative to litigation, while still ensuring that its use is predicated on the consent of the parties and that the resulting awards command respect. A priori, at least, all participants – parties, counsel, arbitrators, arbitral institutions – have an interest in ensuring that arbitration delivers the various advantages associated with it, notably speed, economy, informality, technical expertise, and avoidance of national fora, while producing awards that withstand judicial challenge and otherwise enjoy legitimacy.
National courts play a potentially important policing role …
Article Iii Judicial Power And The Federal Arbitration Act, Roger J. Perlstadt
Article Iii Judicial Power And The Federal Arbitration Act, Roger J. Perlstadt
UF Law Faculty Publications
Arbitrators determine facts and apply law to those facts to bindingly resolve disputes between two or more parties, a task normally reserved for judges. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) makes agreements to arbitrate disputes enforceable, including disputes that would normally be heard by an Article III judge, such as those arising under federal law or between parties of diverse citizenship. Accordingly, disputes subject to an arbitration agreement brought before a federal court for adjudication must instead, pursuant to the FAA, be resolved by an arbitrator. Yet, while Article III ostensibly mandates that life-tenured and salary-protected judges decide such disputes, arbitrators—selected …
Complex Dispute Resolution: Volume Iii: Introduction And Coda: International Dispute Resolution, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
Complex Dispute Resolution: Volume Iii: Introduction And Coda: International Dispute Resolution, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The Complex Dispute Resolution series collects essays on the development of foundational dispute resolution theory and practice and its application to increasingly more complex settings of conflicts in the world, including multi-party and multi-issue decision making, negotiations in political policy formation and governance, and international conflict resolution. Each volume contains an original introduction by the editor, which explores the key issues in the field. All three volumes feature essays which span an interdisciplinary range of fields, law, political science, game theory, decision science, economics, social and cognitive psychology, sociology and anthropology and consider issues in the uses of informal and …
Conflicts As Inner Trials: Transitions For Clients, Ideas For Lawyers, Jonathan R. Cohen
Conflicts As Inner Trials: Transitions For Clients, Ideas For Lawyers, Jonathan R. Cohen
UF Law Faculty Publications
As times of transition, conflicts often produce significant inner trials for parties. This paper categorizes some of the more common inner trials parties in conflict face (e.g., coping with loss, strong emotions, uncertainty, etc.) and suggests that, as liminal times in people’s lives, some conflicts may also hold within them important opportunities for learning, growth and self-definition. This paper also offers some ideas for how lawyers might best assist clients during such transitions.
Navigating Eu Law And The Law Of International Arbitration, George A. Bermann
Navigating Eu Law And The Law Of International Arbitration, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
The European Union and international arbitration are two robust legal regimes that have managed to develop largely in accordance with their own respective “first principles,” and they have accordingly thrived. This article initially explains why that has been the case.
But the era of parallelism between the regimes has ended, and rather suddenly. This article identifies the two principal fronts on which tensions between EU law and international arbitration law have emerged. Interestingly, both commercial and investment arbitration are implicated.
A first front entails a conflict between the European Court of Justice's (ECJ's) expansive notions of EU public policy and …
The Politics Of Class Action Arbitration: Jurisdictional Legitimacy And Vindication Of Contract Rights, William W. Park
The Politics Of Class Action Arbitration: Jurisdictional Legitimacy And Vindication Of Contract Rights, William W. Park
Faculty Scholarship
Exactly one year apart, the U.S. Supreme Court decided two cases on “class arbitration” proceedings, one about international shipping and the other on consumer purchases of mobile telephones. Each decision inflicted damage on a claimant’s right to invoke collective action in arbitrations. Read together, the opinions serve as a prism through which to refract key elements in an increasingly politicized debate on the legal framework for arbitration, particularly within the United States.

We report on our field research in Fukushima Prefecture in July 2011. We interviewed legal professionals and community leaders in Fukushima City and in towns inundated by the March 2011 tsunami and within a few kilometers of Fukushima No. 1 nuclear reactor. We catalogued many of the extensive variety of problems faced by Fukushima residents, both evacuees and those who remained in their homes. Many of these problems, both legal and non-legal, arose from government actions as the disaster unfolded and afterwards, including the administration of the initial program for provisional compensation for disaster victims. We learned that in the …

Conflict Of Interests: Seeking A Way Forward On Publication Of International Arbitral Awards, Joshua D H Karton
Conflict Of Interests: Seeking A Way Forward On Publication Of International Arbitral Awards, Joshua D H Karton
Joshua Karton
There now appears to be general agreement that greater publication of awards would benefit the international commercial arbitration system, yet most awards remain unpublished. This article explains the current state of affairs by reference to the conflict between party and systemic interests. Since international arbitration is a private, consent-based system, party interests in keeping awards confidential are likely to trump systemic interests in publishing them—even if those systemic interests align with the long-term interests of commercial parties generally.
The conflict of interests not only explains why confidentiality of international arbitral awards remains the rule, it also points the way to …
Independence And Impartiality Of Arbitrators, Swiss Federal Court. J. October 29th, 2010, Edgardo Muñoz, Gustavo Moser
Independence And Impartiality Of Arbitrators, Swiss Federal Court. J. October 29th, 2010, Edgardo Muñoz, Gustavo Moser
Edgardo Muñoz
The parties to an arbitration give arbitrators considerable discretion to design the proceedings and decide on their dispute. Arbitrators hence are expected to develop and implement the framework that ensures equal treatment and fair awards. As arbitrators play so significant a role in the settlement of disputes, their independence and impartiality are of paramount importance to achieve their expected undertaking
