Clouded Diamonds: Without Binding Arbitration And More Sophisticated Dispute Resolution Mechanisms, The Kimberley Process Will Ultimately Fail In Ending Conflicts Fueled By Blood Diamonds , Shannon K. Murphy
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
In 2003, under an initiative of the United Nations (U.N.), various nations of the world gave life to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS)-a method by which consumers of all levels could know the origin of their diamonds-with the Scheme only certifying those harvested from legal, government-run mines. The Scheme's drafters believed that, if given the choice, consumers would choose to buy diamonds mined legally, with profits flowing to legitimate sources of power. However, the KPCS as it stands is voluntary and lacks the teeth needed to deter its violators. The KPCS lacks a binding arbitration agreement and needs a …
Multi-Stakeholder Dispute Resolution: Building Social Capital Through Access To Justice At The Community Level , Shala Ali, Williams E. Davis, Joanna Lee
Multi-Stakeholder Dispute Resolution: Building Social Capital Through Access To Justice At The Community Level , Shala Ali, Williams E. Davis, Joanna Lee
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Systems of multi-stakeholder dispute resolution are increasingly recognized as objectives of good governance by international organizations such as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Such objectives arise out of insights based on the dynamics of social capital that community based initiatives cannot succeed where trust is absent and mechanisms for collective decision-making do not exist. Yet localized decision-making can take many forms-whether distributional, competitive, or collaborative. This paper will examine, in particular, the impact of collaborative systems of decision-making on building social capital through access to justice in local communities. It will do this through examining participant feedback, meeting minutes, …

The Variable Morality Of Constitutional (And Other) Compromises: A Comment On Sanford Levinson's Compromise And Constitutionalism, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
The Variable Morality Of Constitutional (And Other) Compromises: A Comment On Sanford Levinson's Compromise And Constitutionalism, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
Pepperdine Law Review
This comment to Sanford Levinson's Brandeis lecture at Pepperdine focuses on the role and types of compromises made during several stages of constitutional processes, formative and constitutive, interpretive and on-going, as negotiated by Constitutional meaning makers (drafters and Supreme Court 'deciders'), and post hoc justifications. This essay discusses recent work on compromise as institutional design, pragmatic or principled, and regime defining and sustaining. Both the pejorative (compromise is unprincipled) and more positive (compromise accounts for the 'reality' and moral existence of different sides of an issue or polity) understandings of compromise are reviewed, in light of Professor Levinson's scholarship on …

The Cost Of Compromise And The Covenant With Death, Paul Finkelman
The Cost Of Compromise And The Covenant With Death, Paul Finkelman
Pepperdine Law Review
This article is a rebuttal to the writings of those advocating the view that America was formed through compromise and that compromise in modern constitutional law is, therefore, necessary and beneficial. A recount of the “compromises” at the Constitutional Conventional that eventually led to the approval and protection of slavery begins the analysis establishing the danger of Americans compromising over constitutional protections. The article continues on, discussing the Compromise of 1850 and its drafters whom others have considered “passionately devoted to the Union”, like John Calhoun, who would later assert that the Constitution was expendable. The Compromise of 1850 did …
Compromise And Constitutionalism, Sanford Levinson
Compromise And Constitutionalism, Sanford Levinson
Pepperdine Law Review
Professor Levinson explores compromises (1) that went into the making of the United States Constitution, and (2) that have occurred in the Supreme Court's constitutional interpretation. He explores these compromises in light of Israeli philosopher Avishai Margalit's distinction between bad compromises and rotten compromises. "Rotten compromises" are indefensible except, perhaps, in the most exceptional of conditions. A "rotten political compromise" is one that agrees "to establish or maintain an inhuman regime, a regime of cruelty and humiliation, that is, a regime that does not treat humans as humans." Under this standard, Levinson identifies as rotten compromises the Constitution's protection of …

Manifest' Destiny: The Fate Of The 'Manifest Disregard Of The Law' Doctrine After Hall Street V. Mattel, Karly A. Kauf
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
The Federal Arbitration Act was enacted in 1925 in reaction to widespread judicial resistance to arbitration. While it is difficult to imagine that the drafters of this legislation could have envisioned how prominent arbitration would become in the United States, it is clear that their intention was to ensure that contracts to arbitrate would be enforced and that the intent of the parties would be maintained. In the more than eighty years since the passage of the Act, courts have repeatedly been called on to interpret the Act in order to determine its effect on real world situations. Recently, the …
