Valuation Averaging: A New Procedure For Resolving Valuation Disputes, Keith Sharfman
Valuation Averaging: A New Procedure For Resolving Valuation Disputes, Keith Sharfman
Rutgers Law School (Newark) Faculty Papers
In this Article, Professor Sharfman addresses the problem of "discretionary valuation": that courts resolve valuation disputes arbitrarily and unpredictably, thus harming litigants and society. As a solution, he proposes the enactment of "valuation averaging," a new procedure for resolving valuation disputes modeled on the algorithmic valuation processes often agreed to by sophisticated private firms in advance of any dispute. He argues that by replacing the discretion of judges and juries with a mechanical valuation process, valuation averaging would cause litigants to introduce more plausible and conciliatory valuations into evidence and thereby reduce the cost of valuation litigation and increase the …

Part Ii - What Would You Do - With A Taniwha At The Table?, Ian Macduff
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In the last issues of Negotiation Journal, the author explored the complicating factor of having a taniwha or spirit at the negotiating table in a New Zeland case. He challenged his readers to give him suggestions about how negotiators might grapple with often preplexing problems posed by the spiritual valus of their counterparts.
The Specificity Of International Arbitration: The Case For Faa Reform, William W. Park
The Specificity Of International Arbitration: The Case For Faa Reform, William W. Park
Faculty Scholarship
If a pollster asked a random selection of Americans for a one-line verbal portrait of arbitration, common responses might include the following: (i) private litigation arising for construction and business disputes; (ii) a mechanism to resolve workplace tensions between management and labor; (iii) a process by which finance companies and stock brokers shield themselves from customer complaints; (iv) a way to level the playing field in deciding commercial controversies among companies from different parts of the world; (v) the way big corporations use NAFTA to escape regulation. To some extent all would be correct.'
Unfortunately, these different varieties of arbitration …

Ibew, Local 2228 V Nav Canada, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
The Employer withheld the Grievor's pay and benefits owing under the salary continuation provision of the Agreement for a period of 12 days because of his refusal to sign a consent form required by the Employer's third party provider authorizing release of the Grievor's medical information to the provider. The Union does not dispute that the Employer had the right to require that the form be signed, nor the employer's having withheld the pay until the form was signed. The Union's position is that once the Grievor signed the form he was entitled to the pay being withheld. The Employer's …

Global Trends In Mediation, Nadja Alexander
Global Trends In Mediation, Nadja Alexander
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Mediation is a process both new, in terms of its emergence in the legal arena, and old in terms of its timeless universality. From its birth in the western world, mediation has travelled a winding and often challenging path through common law and then civil law jurisdictions. Suggestions that mediation would be nothing more than a short-lived fad have been short-lived themselves. At the same time many critical questions about mediation process, mediation structures and environment, and mediation outcomes have yet to be explored from a global and comparative perspective.
What Would You Do - With A Taniwha At The Table?, Ian Macduff
What Would You Do - With A Taniwha At The Table?, Ian Macduff
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In New Zealand, a complicating factor in some disputes may involve the presence (whether one believes it or not) of a taniwha, or spirit, as a major part of the negotiations. What advice would you have for mediators who face such significant cross-cultural, identity-based issues? The author hopes readers of this journal will be able to provide some insighful advice.

Let's Put Ourselves Out Of Business: On Respect, Responsibility, And Dialogue In Dispute Resolution, Jonathan R. Cohen
UF Law Faculty Publications
This Essay works in two steps. I want to daydream with you about the future, or what I hope will someday be the future, of our dispute resolution movement. I want to then use these imaginings to reflect upon where we are today. I want to suggest something that may at first seem odd: Our ultimate goal should be to put ourselves, or virtually put ourselves, out of business. Eventually, I hope the time will come when we live in a society where the expert services of dispute resolution professionals, including not only lawyers and judges but also mediators and …

First Options, Consent To Arbitration, And The Demise Of Separability: Restoring Access To Justice For Contracts With Arbitration Provisions, Richard C. Reuben
First Options, Consent To Arbitration, And The Demise Of Separability: Restoring Access To Justice For Contracts With Arbitration Provisions, Richard C. Reuben
Faculty Publications
This article describes the context and current state of the law in this area under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), urges the Court to continue its path toward actual consent to arbitration, and suggests an approach for finally reconciling the tension between Prima Paint and First Options. Part II describes the nature and historical context of the arbitrability problem. Part III focuses specifically on the doctrine of separability, which is the most critical (and most complex) of these exceptions. Part IV discusses the impact on separability of recent U.S. Supreme Court case law, especially the 1995 decision in First Options …

Re Aliant Telecom Inc And Ac&Twu, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
This is a policy grievance concerning the contracting out of work on two separate occasions. The Union wanted the Employer to stop contracting out work, and pay all damages. The Employer did not believe the work in question was protected from contracting out as outlined in two Letters of Intent that are part of the collective agreement.
The grievances fail. An examination of the negotiating history, nature of the work and the effect it had on the number of union positions support the Employer's position. The Letters of Intent did not cover the type of work which was contracted out. …

Union grievance on behalf of the Grievor alleging that he was hired and subsequently fired without due process, contrary to the 2001-2003 Collective Agreement between the parties, and seeking full redress. At the outset of the hearing in this matter the parties agreed that this Board of Arbitration is properly constituted and, subject to the City's preliminary objection, properly seized of this matter. The City made a preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of this Board of Arbitration to hear this matter based on the allegation that the Grievor was never an employee of the City; i.e., that he was never …

The Union grieves the Employer's failure to convert Part-Time Route 23 to a full time route, and staff the new route in accordance with the Agreement. The Union seeks an order that the Employer convert the route and grant full redress to all employees affected. The Employer takes the position that it is only required to carry out minor restructuring to bring Route 23 into conformity with limits on part-time routes. The Employer acknowledges that this should have been done seven months ago.

Possibilities For Collaborative Law: Ethics And Practice Of Lawyer Disqualification And Process Control In A New Model Of Lawyering, John M. Lande
Possibilities For Collaborative Law: Ethics And Practice Of Lawyer Disqualification And Process Control In A New Model Of Lawyering, John M. Lande
Faculty Publications
This article assesses the possibilities for collaborative law (CL) to promote problem-solving negotiation and analyzes the operation and effect of the CL disqualification agreement (DA), which CL leaders hold as essential to the process. In CL, the lawyers and clients agree to negotiate from the outset of the case using a problem-solving approach. Under CL theory, the process creates a metaphorical "container" by using a DA disqualifying both lawyers from representing their clients if either party chooses to proceed in litigation. This article argues that much CL theory and practice is valuable, including protocols of early commitment to negotiation, interest-based …

The Uniform Mediation Act has gone to the states for consideration after about five years of research, drafting, and vetting, and ultimately, overwhelming support by the American Bar Association, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, most major dispute resolution professional organizations and service providers, and many if not most leading dispute scholars. Despite this support, concerns about the UMA still continue to echo from its drafting. Professor Brian Shannon's criticisms largely echo these discussions, and in this article I seek to respond to some of them - after first extending my greatest appreciation to Professor Shannon for …
Can Compulsory Arbitration Be Reconciled With Section 7 Rights?, Ann C. Hodges
Can Compulsory Arbitration Be Reconciled With Section 7 Rights?, Ann C. Hodges
Law Faculty Publications
Employers are increasingly imposing arbitration agreements on their employees as a condition of employment. These agreements force the employees to arbitrate, rather than litigate, any legal claims arising out of their employment. For employees covered by the National Labor Relations Act, such agreements may impair their rights to engage in concerted activity, since litigation of employment claims is protected by Section 7. Employee rights to file class actions, consolidate claims, and seek broad injunctive relief are concerted actions that are particularly threatened by the move to compelled arbitration. The Article analyzes the impact of arbitration agreements on various forms of …

Water Dispute Resolution In The West: Process Elements For The Modern Era In Basin-Wide Problem Solving, Barbara Cosens
Articles
Growing urban water demand, recent recognition of tribal water rights, and needs for critical aquatic habitat in the face of the archaic law governing water allocation are driving people in the western United States to seek alternative methods to resolve water allocation disputes. The current ad hoc and locally driven approach to negotiation of basin-wide water issues runs the risk of overlooking broader interests. Whereas water use is local and rives local economies, the continued viability of our water resources and the legacy we leave to future generations in water infrastructure, social stability, an environmental amenities is national in scope. …

My task is to assess the ways in which alternative dispute resolution procedures may be adapted to deal with international labor disputes. ADR refers to various methods by which neutral third parties assist persons engaged in a conflict to settle their differences without involving the decision-making power of the state or other sanction-imposing body. Both mediation and arbitration are included. In mediation the neutral seeks to get the parties to agree on a mutually acceptable solution. In arbitration the neutral imposes a solution after presentations by the contending parties. A third term, conciliation, is sometimes used and generally connotes a …
