Adr Research At The Crossroads, Deborah R. Hensler Jan 2000

Adr Research At The Crossroads, Deborah R. Hensler

Journal of Dispute Resolution

One of the remarkable aspects of the ADR movement is the empirical research that it has engendered. The granddaddy of court-administered alternative dispute resolution--the pretrial settlement conference--was the occasion for the first experimental study of an innovative legal procedure.' Small claims courts--another early alternative to full-fledged litigation--were put under the microscope in the 1960s.' Over the years, a host of empirical studies on the adoption, implementation and consequences of court ADR programs has been published.'

Measurement Of Information Technology Investment Payoff, Qing Wang

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This report evaluates the measurements of information technology investments payoff, and recommends a theoretical framework for testing the costs and benefits of Internet e-commerce investments. A number of research studies are referenced to evaluate the accuracy of the traditional, quantitative-oriented measurements and introduce a few contemporary, more qualitative-oriented alternatives. As one of the major types of information technology investments, Internet e-commerce is chosen as a case to evaluate the measurements by applying the theories generated from various research studies. Based on the case analysis, contemporary approaches are justified and adopted to establish a three-step framework of measuring Internet e-commerce investment …

Preserving The Oneida Nation Culture, Brian Patterson Jan 2000

Preserving The Oneida Nation Culture, Brian Patterson

St. Thomas Law Review

The topic of this symposium - "Sacred Sites and Modem Lives" - is very timely. We often hear news about some building project that has unearthed an ancient village or burial ground. For every building project that is unearthed you also hear great debate about what to do about the building project, or what to do with the artifacts and the human remains. There exists a big struggle - on the one hand, the needs of society and science, and on the other hand, respect for places and things and people that came long before.

Florida's War On Indian Gaming: An Attack On Tribal Sovereignty, Jerry C. Straus Jan 2000

Florida's War On Indian Gaming: An Attack On Tribal Sovereignty, Jerry C. Straus

St. Thomas Law Review

In 1988 Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). The states, disappointed with certain aspects of the IGRA legislation, launched a war against Indian tribes to stop them from conducting the gaming which Congress had determined was a vital source of economic development for tribes and a proper exercise of tribal sovereignty. In 1994 governors from forty-nine states signed and sent a letter to Congress urging drastic revisions in the law purportedly to protect states' rights. To this day, every Session of Congress brings the introduction of legislation that would curtail or destroy Indian gaming rights. The states viewed …

Distinctive Features Of The African-American Family: Debunking The Myth Of The Deficit Model, David L. Briscoe Jan 2000

Distinctive Features Of The African-American Family: Debunking The Myth Of The Deficit Model, David L. Briscoe

Ethnic Studies Review

Throughout the 1900's, social scientists have debated the question of whether the African American family is an adaptative social system or whether it is pathological, perpetuating its poverty over the generations. This article examines the holistic perspective as the preeminent comprehensive approach in studying the African American family and provides empirical evidence of distinctive features of the African American family in support of the adaptation argument. The adaptation/deficit debate will probably continue as long as the scientific community fails to fully acknowledge and make the most of theoretical constructs that are holistic in principle and design.

The Role Of The Law Guardian In A Custody Case Involving Domestic Violence, Nancy S. Erickson Jan 2000

The Role Of The Law Guardian In A Custody Case Involving Domestic Violence, Nancy S. Erickson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

A law guardian for a child has an extremely difficult job, one that arguably requires a higher degree of diligence than that of an attorney representing a competent adult. Yet, under New York law, the role of the law guardian for a child involved in a custody is not clearly defined. When domestic violence is involved, the law guardian's role becomes crucial. The role of the law guardian for a child in a custody case involving domestic violence has been expanded as a result of the enactment of chapter 85 of the 1996 Laws of New York. This article outlines …

The Uccjea: What Is It And How Does It Affect Battered Women In Child-Custody Disputes, Joan Zorza Jan 2000

The Uccjea: What Is It And How Does It Affect Battered Women In Child-Custody Disputes, Joan Zorza

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act ("UCCJEA") is the revised version The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act ("UCCJA"), which states are now being asked to adopt immediately in its stead. The UCCJA was the original model act for states to determine when they have jurisdiction to decide a custody case and when they must give full faith and credit to the custody decrees of other states. When the National Conference of Commission on Uniform State Laws ("NCCUSL") wrote the UCCJA in 1968, it sought to correct two major problems of its day: child abductions by family members and jurisdiction …

Weighing The Domestic Violence Factor In Custody Cases: Tipping The Scales In Favor Of Protecting Victims And Their Children, Kim Susser Jan 2000

Weighing The Domestic Violence Factor In Custody Cases: Tipping The Scales In Favor Of Protecting Victims And Their Children, Kim Susser

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Many new laws and policies are emerging in the area of domestic violence. In 1994, the Legislature passed the Family Protection and Domestic Violence Intervention Act- a complete overhaul of laws dealing with domestic violence in both the civil and criminal arean. The Legislature declared that domestic violence is now a crime. It is unfortunate that batterers are not always consider criminals when they seek custody of their children. If convicted of a stranger crime, courts are known to accord weight to the batterer's criminal history. When the victim is the child's mother, it seems to be another story. All …

The Criminalization Of Child Welfare In New York City: Sparing The Child Or Spoiling The Family?, Alison B. Vreeland Jan 2000

The Criminalization Of Child Welfare In New York City: Sparing The Child Or Spoiling The Family?, Alison B. Vreeland

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The trend in child welfare has been to err on the side of protection, often considered erring on the side of the child. While this approach may have been appropriate to overcome a long history of State abstinence from involvement in the family domain, it has been under-inclusive in protecting the child's fundamental right to a parent-child relationship. A delicate balance must be struck between family autonomy and State intervention. This balance is best achieved in the family court when the child's best interest is represented and the family is addressed as a whole. Under traditional criminal procedure, which focuses …
