Beyond Campaign Finance: The First Amendment Implications Of Nixon V. Shrink Missouri Pac, Christina E. Wells
Beyond Campaign Finance: The First Amendment Implications Of Nixon V. Shrink Missouri Pac, Christina E. Wells
Faculty Publications
This essay, however, is less concerned with the campaign finance aspects of Shrink than with the decision's broader implications. In the course of its decision, the Shrink Court not only obfuscated the standard of scrutiny applicable to contribution regulations, it effectively ignored the government's lack of factual support for the law, instead accepting the state's assertions at face-value. Consequently, Shrink is far more than a simple application of Buckley. Rather, it reflects fundamental problems with the Court's standards of review in First Amendment cases generally. The more global nature of Shrink's problems suggest that, despite scholarly focus on the Buckley …

A Government Of Laws And Also Of Men: Judge William K. Thomas, R. Lawrence Dessem
Faculty Publications
Judge William K. Thomas served for more than forty years as a common pleas judge and as a judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. During his service on the state and federal bench, Judge Thomas epitomized the qualities of fairness, integrity, justice, and compassion that we expect in our judiciary. This article highlights some of the qualities that made Judge Thomas a truly great judge, as well as some of the highlights of his judicial career. It is written as a memorial tribute by one of his former law clerks.
Paying The Price Of Process: Judicial Regulation Of Consumer Arbitration Agreements, Stephen J. Ware
Paying The Price Of Process: Judicial Regulation Of Consumer Arbitration Agreements, Stephen J. Ware
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Arbitration clauses now appear in many of the form contracts through which consumers obtain goods, services and credit.' Why do so many businesses that deal with consumers choose arbitration? Relative to litigation, arbitration provides opportunities for a business to save on its dispute-resolution costs. If arbitration does, in fact, lower these costs then arbitration lowers the prices (and interest rates) consumers pay because competition forces businesses to pass their cost-savings on to consumers.
Mandatory Arbitration Of An Employee's Statutory Rights: Still A Controversial Issue Or Are We Beating The Proverbial Dead Horse - Penn V. Ryan's Family Steakhouse, Inc., Andrea L. Myers
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Since the early 1980s, the Supreme Court has espoused a strong preference for arbitration in the employment setting. Despite this general preference, the Supreme Court has never clearly stated that mandatory arbitration of statutory rights is always reasonable. This omission has led to much controversy about whether this preference permits the mandatory arbitration of all statutory rights or only those that are amenable to arbitration as defined by the Supreme Court.
State Constitutional Restrictions On Legislative Procedure: Rethinking Analysis Of Original Purpose, Single Subject, And Clear Title Challenges, Martha Dragich
State Constitutional Restrictions On Legislative Procedure: Rethinking Analysis Of Original Purpose, Single Subject, And Clear Title Challenges, Martha Dragich
Faculty Publications
Recognizing that state courts are beginning to review procedural challenges more rigorously, this Article attempts to provide guidance for the resolution of such cases. Part I examines the history, purposes, and standards of original purpose, single subject, and clear title restrictions, using Missouri's provisions as examples. Part I also identifies paradigmatic cases of each of the procedural violations with the hope of more sharply differentiating the three claims. Parts II through V present a case study of ten Missouri cases decided since 1994, supplemented with notable cases from other states. Part II begins with a brief description of the Missouri …
Chinese Mortgage Law: An American Perspective, Dale A. Whitman
Chinese Mortgage Law: An American Perspective, Dale A. Whitman
Faculty Publications
My objective in this paper is to compare and to evaluate some of the features of the American and Chinese systems. I do so without any preconception that the American system provides better answers, but with the recognition that it is far more mature and provides more answers. Hence it provides a reference point from which the Chinese system can be considered. Perhaps each system has something to teach the other.
Professionalism In Librarianship: Shifting The Focus From Malpractice To Good Practice, Randy J. Diamond, Martha Dragich
Professionalism In Librarianship: Shifting The Focus From Malpractice To Good Practice, Randy J. Diamond, Martha Dragich
Faculty Publications
Much of the previous discussion in library literature about professional standards concerns librarian malpractice risks. After explaining why these risks have not materialized, this article examines the role of professional standards in fostering good practice in librarianship. Components of good practice include professional knowledge, core competencies, and professional values.
Cybercoverage For Cyber-Risks: An Overview Of Insurers' Responses To The Perils Of E-Commerce, Robert H. Jerry Ii, Michele L. Mekel
Cybercoverage For Cyber-Risks: An Overview Of Insurers' Responses To The Perils Of E-Commerce, Robert H. Jerry Ii, Michele L. Mekel
Faculty Publications
With nearly seven percent of the world's population currently online and e-commerce forecast to hit $6.8 trillion by 2004, one need not be Nostradamus to predict that the Internet means great change for all industries - including the insurance industry. Presently, however, the proverbial cart is leading the horse as the insurance industry struggles to develop strategies to quantify, cover, and contain "cyber-risks." Policyholders also face new challenges as they confront the possibility that their traditional insurance coverages are woefully inadequate either to secure their electronic and intellectual property assets or to guard against their potential e-commerce liabilities to third …
'The Question Is Which Is To Be Master - That's All': Cunningham, Claiborne, Rita And The Sixth Amendment Muddle, Frank O. Bowman Iii
'The Question Is Which Is To Be Master - That's All': Cunningham, Claiborne, Rita And The Sixth Amendment Muddle, Frank O. Bowman Iii
Faculty Publications
Three things are clear from the Supreme Court's opinion in Cunningham v. California, in which the Court struck down California's sentencing law as violative of the Sixth Amendment, and from the briefs in the pending cases involving post-Booker federal sentencing, Claiborne v. United States and Rita v. United States. First, the Supreme Court has plunged Sixth Amendment sentencing law deep down the rabbit hole. Second, both the government and petitioners in Claiborne and Rita have adopted indefensible positions. Third, neither the parties nor the amici in Rita and Claiborne have offered the Court any real help in crafting a sensible …
Falling Out Of Love With America: The Clinton Impeachment And The Madisonian Constitution, Frank O. Bowman Iii
Falling Out Of Love With America: The Clinton Impeachment And The Madisonian Constitution, Frank O. Bowman Iii
Faculty Publications
First, were the Nixon and Clinton affairs truly as different as my memory makes them? Were the villains of Watergate as villainous and the heroes as heroic as I remember them? Were nearly all the players on both sides of l'affaire Lewinsky as shallow and fatuous as they seemed? Or to put the question in broader historical context, was the impeachment of Bill Clinton truly distinct, not only from Watergate, but from all of the other (fortunately few) occasions on which a president was seriously threatened with removal from office? Second, if the Clinton impeachment really was as bizarre, unprecedented, …
Federal Preemption And Vacatur: The Bookend Issues Under The Revised Uniform Arbitration Act, Stephen L. Hayford
Federal Preemption And Vacatur: The Bookend Issues Under The Revised Uniform Arbitration Act, Stephen L. Hayford
Journal of Dispute Resolution
As one of the two Academic Advisors to the Drafting Committee appointed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws ("NCCUSL") to revise the Uniform Arbitration Act, I was assigned primary responsibility for the two most important issues pertinent to the Drafting Committee's framing of the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act ("RUAA"). The first-the issue of federal preemption-set the baseline for the scope and character of the RUAA by defining for the Drafting Committee the areas of the substantive law of arbitration in which the states are free to regulate, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") notwithstanding. The second-the issue …
To Litigate Or Arbitrate - No Matter - The Credit Card Industry Is Deciding For You, Johanna Harrington
To Litigate Or Arbitrate - No Matter - The Credit Card Industry Is Deciding For You, Johanna Harrington
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This Comment posits that consumers lose their legal protections in the credit industry when arbitration policies are favored over consumer credit protection policies. Part II will examine the language of credit card arbitration clauses including a discussion of the circumstances under which a credit card holder might bring a claim. Part III will discuss barriers to challenging the arbitration provisions. Part IV will summarize how the courts have addressed mandatory arbitration clauses in credit cards. Part V will examine traditional consumer credit protection laws, specifically whether the Truth-in-Lending Act is able to protect consumers from mandatory arbitration clauses. Finally, Part …

Revised Uniform Arbitration Act: Modernizing, Revising, And Clarifying Arbitration Law, The, Timothy J. Heinsz
Journal of Dispute Resolution
From the outset of the Drafting Committee's deliberations, two issues came to the fore: federal preemption and adhesion contracts.23 The complexity of both matters presented substantial challenges to the Drafting Committee. The Drafting Committee needed to reach early agreement on an approach to preemption and adhesion, which affect so many areas covered by state arbitration law
Waiver - Not Yet: After More Than Eight Years Of Pre-Trial Litigation The Second Circuit Orders Arbitration - Crysen/Montenay Energy Co. V. Shell Oil Co. And Scallop Petroleum Co., David A. Geisler Ii.
Waiver - Not Yet: After More Than Eight Years Of Pre-Trial Litigation The Second Circuit Orders Arbitration - Crysen/Montenay Energy Co. V. Shell Oil Co. And Scallop Petroleum Co., David A. Geisler Ii.
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Arbitration clauses, like most terms in a contract, are enforceable against either party and, unless expressly or impliedly waived, should be enforced. While the federal courts and Congress have a policy that strongly favors arbitration, in some situations the factual nature of the case leads the court to conclude that the right to arbitrate the matter has been waived. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals, in In re Crysen/Montenay Energy Co. v. Shell Oil Co. and Scallop Petroleum Co., addressed this issue; however the court concluded that the policy favoring the enforcement of arbitration provisions outweighed the prejudice to Crysen/Montenay …
Class Action Vs. Arbitration: Does Tila Support Class Actions In Arbitration Where Statutory Rights Are Concerned - Johnson V. West Suburban Bank, Christina S. Lewis
Class Action Vs. Arbitration: Does Tila Support Class Actions In Arbitration Where Statutory Rights Are Concerned - Johnson V. West Suburban Bank, Christina S. Lewis
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Johnson v. West Suburban Bank is an important case in American jurisprudence because it combines several United States Supreme Court cases to establish a test for whether arbitration provisions relating to statutory rights should be upheld when they essentially preclude class actions. This Casenote will examine the progression the courts have taken and Johnson's subsequent test. Finally, an evaluation of this test will follow.
Clarifying The Intent Of Congress: Are The Federal Arbitration Act's Venue Provisions Permissive Or Mandatory - Cortez Byrd Chips, Inc. V. Bill Harbert Construction Co., Darynne L. O'Neal
Clarifying The Intent Of Congress: Are The Federal Arbitration Act's Venue Provisions Permissive Or Mandatory - Cortez Byrd Chips, Inc. V. Bill Harbert Construction Co., Darynne L. O'Neal
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Some circuits have taken the position that the venue provisions are mandatory, thus limiting venue for motions to confirm, vacate, or modify arbitration awards to the district where the award was made. Other circuits, however, have adopted the contrary position that the venue provisions are permissive, allowing such motions to be brought either in the district where the arbitration award was made or in any district that is proper under the general venue statute. This Casenote explores the split among the circuits on the nature of the FAA's venue provisions. Cortez Byrd Chips, Inc. v. Bill Harbert Construction Co. addressed …

Read The Fine Print - Alabama Supreme Court Rules That Binding Arbitration Provisions In Written Warranties Are Okay - Southern Energy Homes, Inc. V. Ard, Garrett S. Taylor
Journal of Dispute Resolution
When a consumer purchases an item that includes a warranty, they generally do not read the warranty, and a consumer expects that they will have a right to a judicial forum should the warranty come into play. However, courts have recently faced the issue of whether or not binding arbitration provisions in written warranties preclude the consumer from appearing in a courtroom. The Supreme Court of Alabama, in Southern Energy Homes, Inc. v. Ard, held that inclusion of binding arbitration provisions in written warranties is acceptable, despite the intent of the MagnusonMoss Act.'
