Understanding The Limits Of Court-Connected Adr: A Critique Of Federal Court-Annexed Arbitration Programs, Lisa Bernstein
Understanding The Limits Of Court-Connected Adr: A Critique Of Federal Court-Annexed Arbitration Programs, Lisa Bernstein
Articles
In this Article, the author argues that mandatory, non-binding federal court-annexed arbitration programs will not succeed in increasing access to justice, and may in fact decrease access to justice for poorer litigants, precisely the people the programs were designed to help. After exploring the effects of such programs on parties' litigation decisions and demonstrating that the programs are unlikely to create private or social benefits, the Article explores the attributes of private ADR tribunals that parties find desirable and the many ways, apart from reducing cost and delay, that private ADR agreements create value. The Article concludes that, while the …

The Forty-Fourth Session Of The Un Sub-Commission On Prevention Of Discrimination And Protection Of Minorities And The Special Session Of The Commission On Human Rights On The Situation In The Former Yugoslavia, Alya Z. Kayal, Penny L. Parker, David Weissbrodt
Articles
The 1992 meeting of the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities is chronicled, along with the results of the special session held by the UN Human Rights Commission on Yugoslavia. The work of the Sub-Commission included surveying human rights compliance in various member countries, mandating compliance for Bosnia-Herzegovina, East Timor, Bougainville and Haiti, and discussing issues such as homosexual discrimination as human rights violations. The Commission took evidence on abuses in Yugoslavia and resolved to take action to force compliance.
The Role Of The Legislature, The Sentencing Commission, And Other Officials Under The Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines, Richard Frase
The Role Of The Legislature, The Sentencing Commission, And Other Officials Under The Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines, Richard Frase
Articles
Minnesota's experience with sentencing guidelines remains critically important to legislators and sentencing reformers in other jurisdictions. Minnesota adopted the first commission-based presumptive sentencing system in 1980, and its Guidelines 1 have been the focus of exhaustive study. 2 The Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission has routinely collected extensive data on all felony sentences, as well as more detailed data on selected sentencing samples. 3 This rich source of data and commentary, coupled with a considerable appellate caselaw interpreting the Guidelines and over a decade of legislative and Commission-initiated amendments, provides invaluable lessons concerning the processes by which commission-based guidelines are drafted, …
The Uncertain Future Of Sentencing Guidelines, Richard Frase
The Uncertain Future Of Sentencing Guidelines, Richard Frase
Articles
As of the fall of 1993, at least 15 states and the federal government had adopted or were in the process of adopting sentencing guidelines developed by an independent sentencing commission. 1 Minnesota pioneered this approach to sentencing reform in 1978. 2 Its guidelines have now been in effect for more than a decade, and they have been more extensively studied and evaluated than any other system. 3 In addition, many observers believe that the Minne sota Sentencing Guidelines remain one of the better-designed and successful systems of this type. 4 Ironically, the more-recently-enacted Federal Sentencing Guidelines may be the …

Sentencing Commissions And Their Guidelines, Michael Tonry
Sentencing Commissions And Their Guidelines, Michael Tonry
Articles
Sentencing commissions, administrative agencies charged to develop and promulgate standards for sentencing, were first proposed early in the 1970s and first established in 1978. Of four recent major sentencing reform approaches-the others being parole guidelines, voluntary sentencing guidelines, and statutory determinate sentences-only sentencing commission systems continue to be created. Despite controversies associated with the highly unpopular federal guidelines, commissions and their guidelines have achieved their primary goals. Some commissions have achieved specialized technical competence, have adopted comprehensive policy approaches, and have to a degree insulated policy from short-term political pressures. Guidelines have reduced disparities and gender and sex differences in …

Governance In Chapter 11 Reorganizations: Reducing Costs, Improving Results, Edward S. Adams
Articles
Throughout the past two years, Trans World Airlines, Midway Airlines, and R.H. Macy Company, as well as over 46,000 other corporations, have filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Of the firms that have filed Chapter 11 reorganization petitions, over eighty percent will never reorganize successfully and will not avoid a subsequent conversion to a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding. The effects of these “misfilings” are enormous. Most fundamentally, an attempted reorganization, when liquidation is the more efficient solution, can unnecessarily increase the overall costs of bankruptcy significantly.
Globalization Of Constitutional Law And Civil Rights, David Weissbrodt
Globalization Of Constitutional Law And Civil Rights, David Weissbrodt
Articles
The teaching of U.S. constitutional law is remarkably insular. A quick review of course books reveals few, if any, references to materials from other countries or to relevant international law.1 Constitutional law courses focus almost exclusively on the U.S. constitutional order. The course books appear to consider as unique this country's balance of power between the national government and the states and its approach to bridging the structural tension among executive, legislative, andjudicial branches. One colleague facetiously told me that the only country comparable to the United States is the United Kingdom. Since the U.K. has no written constitution, the …

The forty-eighth session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, the principal human rights organ of the United Nations, occurred at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland from 27 January to 7 March 1992.' The session took place at a time of unprecedented invigoration of the United Nations in general, and demonstrated both the challenges and the opportunities facing the organization and its primary human rights arm in the world community today.
