Media, Memory, And Forgiveness: Case Studies In South Africa And Argentina's Conflict Resolution Processes, Byron T. Scott, Caroline Escudero, Anya Litvak
Media, Memory, And Forgiveness: Case Studies In South Africa And Argentina's Conflict Resolution Processes, Byron T. Scott, Caroline Escudero, Anya Litvak
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Studies of conflict frames' customarily include neither mid- to long-term resolution nor the role of the media in that healing process. In theory, the formal reconciliation processes that have followed internal conflicts in many nations provide resolution and a pathway to long-term healing. But do they? As the chief cultural guardians of national memories, what is the role of the media? Between the spikes of crisis reporting, are there persistent frames of journalistic messages that affect how ever-receding events are viewed by new generations? This paper looks at media behavior in two contrasting nations, Argentina and South Africa, while arguing …
Eleven Bid Ideas About Conflict: A Superficial Guide For The Thoughtful Journalist, Leonard L. Riskin
Eleven Bid Ideas About Conflict: A Superficial Guide For The Thoughtful Journalist, Leonard L. Riskin
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In case you are wondering how something like this could possibly be reported in a local newspaper, I can tell you two reasons: First, the story takes place in Columbia, Missouri, a small town with a big journalism school and two daily newspapers; these factors combine to produce hordes of desperate reporters and reporting students.' Second, as I show below, if the reporter has sophisticated vision, this case has the potential to provide a good deal of valuable material.

Little Fish In A Big Sea: Should Consumer Protection Statutes Override Class Arbitration Waivers, A, Thomas Wilmowski
Little Fish In A Big Sea: Should Consumer Protection Statutes Override Class Arbitration Waivers, A, Thomas Wilmowski
Journal of Dispute Resolution
As arbitration agreements have become increasingly commonplace in dealings between large companies and their subscribers, courts have taken a strong interest in protecting consumer rights. As part of this protection, courts have to apply federal statutes, protecting the right to treble damages and recovery of attorney's fees in the context of mass arbitration agreements. The difficulty comes in attempting to allow companies to exercise their freedom of contract while protecting consumers with little bargaining power. Although other courts have largely favored arbitration, and upheld its applicability, a clash remains between consumer protection statutes and the waiver of those statutory rights …
Let's Get Together: An Analysis Of The Applicability Of The Rules Of Professional Conduct To Collaborative Law, Brian Roberson
Let's Get Together: An Analysis Of The Applicability Of The Rules Of Professional Conduct To Collaborative Law, Brian Roberson
Journal of Dispute Resolution
It is the purpose of this comment to explore some of the major areas in which the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and a typical collaborative law arrangement may intersect, and to discuss the differences of opinion among the few state ethics committees that have commented on collaborative law. A deeper understanding of the relationship between the collaborative lawyer, the legal system, and society at large should help to foster greater awareness of the duties and responsibilities inherent in lawyer-client relationships created under the collaborative rubric.
Too Many Motions For Vacatur Of Commercial Arbitration Awards - The Eleventh Circuit Sanctions Unwary Litigants, Christopher Mckinney
Too Many Motions For Vacatur Of Commercial Arbitration Awards - The Eleventh Circuit Sanctions Unwary Litigants, Christopher Mckinney
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In B.L. Harbert Int'l. v. Hercules Steel Co., the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals seemed angered by what they deemed to be another frivolous appeal of a commercial arbitration award. Upon this provocation, the court warned litigants that future baseless appeals would be met with sanctions. By making sanctions a real threat, the court has attempted to promote some goals of arbitration, including finality, but any benefits derived may be offset by the increased confusion the holding has created. Further, the court's mandate represents a divergence from Eleventh Circuit precedent, as past decisions indicated a willingness to hear new arguments …

News Coverage, The Expansion Of Discourse, And Conflict, Philip Seib
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The universe of news cultures--comprising providers and consumers-has never been static. It perpetually evolves, sometimes in small increments, sometimes with dazzling leaps. We are now in one of the latter phases, with new technologies driving change at high speed. This alteration of the news universe is a mix of reshaping and expansion, and it has a profound effect on social and political life throughout much of the world. It has particular impact on how policy makers and the public evaluate and respond to conflict.

Press Coverage Of Interethnic Conflict: Examples From The Los Angeles Riots Of 1992, Shah Shah
Journal of Dispute Resolution
News media are an important source of cultural production and information. Their representation of the social world provides explanations, descriptions, and frames for understanding how and why the world works as it does. In media studies, "frames" refer to the perspectives on, or interpretation of, current events provided by news coverage. Frames are complex and overlapping, existing in a single news article or within an entire body of news coverage. Multiple and opposing frames may exist simultaneously. Frames are built up from the choices reporters make in terms of language use, source selection, and story organization. In their coverage of …
