[Marked Confidential]: Negative Externalities Of Discovery Secrecy, Gustavo Ribeiro
[Marked Confidential]: Negative Externalities Of Discovery Secrecy, Gustavo Ribeiro
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Current unprecedented levels of secrecy in civil discovery create significant negative externalities by preventing our adversary system from measuring up to the broad public goals that justify it. First, excessive discovery secrecy undermines the courts and the public’s ability to correct distortions of the truth-seeking function of the adversary system caused by excessive partisanship and confirmation bias. Second, it weakens the adversary system’s promotion of liberal democratic values, such as transparency and self-government. Third, it threatens the adversary system’s role in upholding human dignity, understood either as respect or status. To correct the negative externalities caused by excessive discovery secrecy, …

Opening The Floodgates: Does Statutory Expansion Make Potential Conservatees More Vulnerable
Opening The Floodgates: Does Statutory Expansion Make Potential Conservatees More Vulnerable
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: Napoleon Bonaparte is quoted as saying: "Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide." The quest for independence and the right to call your own shots can be lost at the drop of the gavel. In 2011, the baby boomer generation totaled over 41 million men and women, of which three million celebrated his or her 65th birthday that year. With this increase in the elder population, there has been an increased trend in finding solutions to provide for this population to the point where "[s]ocial services are being pushed to the breaking …
The Diversity Challenge: Exploring The 'Invisible College' Of International Arbitration, Susan Franck
The Diversity Challenge: Exploring The 'Invisible College' Of International Arbitration, Susan Franck
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
As diversity can affect the perceived legitimacy of a state’s dispute resolution system and the quality of judicial decisions, diversity levels in the national bench and bar have been an area of transnational concern. By contrast, little is known about diversity of adjudicators and counsel in international arbitration. With a lack of accurate, complete, and publicly available data about international arbitrators and practitioners, speculation about membership in the “invisible college” of international arbitration abounds. Using data from a survey of attendees at the prestigious and elite biennial Congress of the International Council for Commercial Arbitration permitted one glimpse into the …
Quantum Meruit And The Restatement (Third) Of Restitution And Unjust Enrichment, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Quantum Meruit And The Restatement (Third) Of Restitution And Unjust Enrichment, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: Thirty years ago, Professor Graham Douthwaite said that restitution can "arise in a bedazzling variety of situations."' He also said that practitioners usually are not aware of "the restitutionary implications or potential" of their clients' problems. Over 50 years ago, Professor John Dawson said that "[i]t is doubtful even now whether most lawyers have an adequate conception of the range and resources of the remedy." About twenty years ago, I said of Professor Dawson's statement, "It is doubtful whether the situation has much improved in the last thirty years." Unfortunately, I can still repeat that concern.
Law, Language And Terror: Policemen Or Soldiers? The Dangers Of Misunderstanding The Threat To America (Commentary On 9-11), Kenneth Anderson
Law, Language And Terror: Policemen Or Soldiers? The Dangers Of Misunderstanding The Threat To America (Commentary On 9-11), Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article was offered in 2001 as the Times Literary Supplement's main commentary the week following 9-11. The essay argues that 9-11 required war as a response, and challenges views expressed in the days following 9-11 by commentators such as Anne-Marie Slaughter and Michael Ignatieff that the proper response by the United States should be criminal law in nature - either international criminal law, through international tribunals or procedures, or domestic criminal law of the kind pursued in the first 1993 World Trade Center bombing. It further argues against the functional pacifism of many Christian theologians who, while approving of …
