The Newly Revised Cpr Rules For Non-Administered Arbitration Of International Disputes, Robert H. Smit Jan 2001

The Newly Revised Cpr Rules For Non-Administered Arbitration Of International Disputes, Robert H. Smit

Faculty Scholarship

In August 2000, the Center for Public Resources Institute for Dispute Resolution (“CPR”) – one of the pre-eminent alternative dispute resolution organizations in the United States – announced revisions to its Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of International Disputes (the “International Rules” or the “Rules”). CPR first promulgated its International Rules in April 1992 as an alternative – indeed, the only alternative currently available – to the international ad hoc arbitration rules issued in 1976 by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (the “UNCITRAL Rules”). According to the Chair of the CPR Committee that prepared the original CPR International …


Testing Multiple Intelligences: Comparing Evaluation By Simulation And Written Exam , Ian Weinstein Jan 2001

Testing Multiple Intelligences: Comparing Evaluation By Simulation And Written Exam , Ian Weinstein

Faculty Scholarship

Written examinations play a key role in legal education. The LSAT is the most important factor in law school admissions. Once students enroll in law school, exams are used to evaluate and sort first year students. At most American law schools, a single, end of semester or end of year, timed, written, in class exam determines the grade in each first year class.' Although exams continue to play a major role throughout law school, once students are sorted at the end of first year it is often difficult for them to significantly change their place in the law school hierarchy. …

The Right To Self-Government After Bush V. Gore, Paul D. Carrington, H. Jefferson Powell Jan 2001

The Right To Self-Government After Bush V. Gore, Paul D. Carrington, H. Jefferson Powell

Faculty Scholarship

'Bush v. Gore' was decided a year ago. As expected, it evoked a flood of journalistic and academic commentary. The present authors write to express dissatisfaction with the resulting literature. They find it in general to be dominated by the usual political discourse conducted from opposite ends of the usual political spectrum, with both ends sharing an assumption that the Supreme Court was animated in its decision by the usual political motives that it has become conventional to see in the actions of that institution. Left almost completely out of view have been the more personal selfish motives of the …

State Sovereign Immunity And Stare Decisis: Solving The Prisoners’ Dilemma Within The Court, Neil S. Siegel Jan 2001

State Sovereign Immunity And Stare Decisis: Solving The Prisoners’ Dilemma Within The Court, Neil S. Siegel

Faculty Scholarship

This Comment argues that the liberal and conservative blocs on the U.S. Supreme Court are embroiled in a Prisoners' Dilemma with respect to whether they should follow precedent on the question of congressional abrogation of state sovereign immunity. The analytical consequence of this strategic situation within the Court is that, over the long run, all of the Justices would more fully realize their views of the merits of Eleventh Amendment cases by demonstrating more--not less--respect for the independent value of stare decisis. This Comment uses game theory to substantiate this claim, after which it offers a potential, contingent solution to …

Punitive Damages By Juries In Florida: In Terrorem And In Reality, Neil Vidmar, Mary R. Rose Jan 2001

Punitive Damages By Juries In Florida: In Terrorem And In Reality, Neil Vidmar, Mary R. Rose

Faculty Scholarship

In recent years there have been numerous proposals for punitive damage reform. Proponents of such reform have often asserted that punitive damages are both common and exorbitant. In this Article, Professor Vidmar and Dr. Rose examine the validity of these and other empirical claims about punitive damages. They do so by studying punitive damage awards reported in the Florida Jury Verdict Reporter. Ultimately, they conclude that there is no empirical support for the claims made by proponents of tort refrom in Florida.

Redistricting In North Carolina—A Personal Perspective, Robinson O. Everett Jan 2001

Redistricting In North Carolina—A Personal Perspective, Robinson O. Everett

Faculty Scholarship

In 1992, when I filed a lawsuit attacking North Carolina's recently enacted congressional redistricting plan, my premise was that drawing a plan for a racially-defined purpose violates equal protection and for this reason and others is unconstitutional. Having now argued four appeals before the Supreme Court concerning North Carolina's redistricting, I still believe in the correctness of my original premise; but, in addition, I am concerned that districts drawn with a predominantly racial purpose tend to polarize our society, discourage the formation of multiracial coalitions, and, in the long run, to harm even those they are intended to protect. I …


Something Borrowed For Something Blue: Legal Transplants And The Evolution Of Global Environmental Law, Jonathan B. Wiener Jan 2001

Something Borrowed For Something Blue: Legal Transplants And The Evolution Of Global Environmental Law, Jonathan B. Wiener

Faculty Scholarship

This Article addresses the evolution of legal rules to govern the global environment. It traces the "borrowing" of legal ideas from national law into international law, in particular the borrowing of emissions trading and the comprehensive approach into the Rio and Kyoto climate change treaties. The Article argues that such "vertical legal borrowing" is related to, yet importantly different from, the pervasive "horizontal legal borrowing" across national legal systems that has been much studied by comparative law scholars. The Article develops both positive and normative assessments of vertical legal borrowing, arguing that it is often suppressed but increasingly essential to …
