Deceptive Negotiating And High-Toned Morality, Walter W. Steele, Jr. Oct 1986

Deceptive Negotiating And High-Toned Morality, Walter W. Steele, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Rising concern about the adequacy of the adversary system to deal with disputes quickly, fairly, and economically has led to increased interest in a broad range of alternate dispute resolution mechanisms such as arbitration and the use of mini-trials. Presently, however, negotiation between disputants or negotiation between counsel for disputants is the best understood and most often utilized alternative to litigation. In fact, negotiating prior to litigating is so pervasive that it might be thought of as an inherent part of the litigation process.

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The primary purpose of an arbitration award is, of course, to resolve the issues submitted to the arbitrator for determination. However, awards also serve a number of other purposes, namely, to facilitate the selection of arbitrators, to assist researchers in evaluating trends in arbitration, to educate prospective arbitrators, and to help the parties in the preparation of their cases and briefs.


Federal Arbitration Act Comparison Jan 1986

Federal Arbitration Act Comparison

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The question the Supreme Court left unanswered in Southland is which FAA provisions must be applied by state courts.' Although the FAA clearly preempts state law on the enforceability of arbitration clauses, 6 state procedural rules may still apply in enforcing arbitration agreements.' Since the extent of preemption remains to be determined, it is important for practioners to be aware of and review potential areas of state arbitration acts which may be superceded by the FAA. Accordingly, a comparison of the FAA with selected state arbitration statutes will lend practitioners some guidance in determining the applicable law.

The author eventually determines that because …

Arbitration From The Viewpoint Of The Practicing Attorney: An Analysis Of Arbitration Cases Decided By The New York State Court Of Appeals From January, 1973 To September, 1985, Hugh R. Jones

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Over a period of years, recourse has increasingly been had to arbitration as a method of dispute resolution in both the public and the private sectors. There is every indication that this trend will continue and expand in the future. In his opening address at the 1985 Annual Meeting of the American Law Institute last May, Chief Justice Warren Burger urged us to "take a fresh look at the entire structure we have created to resolve disputes" and deplored the fact that "as we now practice it, that system is too costly, too painful, too destructive and too inefficient."' At …
