‘Security For Costs’ Under The Icsid Regime: Does It Prevent ‘Arbitral Hit-And-Runs’ Or Does It Unduly Stifle Third-Party Funded Investors’ Due Process Rights?, Young Hye (Martina) Chun
‘Security For Costs’ Under The Icsid Regime: Does It Prevent ‘Arbitral Hit-And-Runs’ Or Does It Unduly Stifle Third-Party Funded Investors’ Due Process Rights?, Young Hye (Martina) Chun
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
This Article considers security for costs under the ICSID regime. Given that all security for costs have been ordered against third-party funded investors—with the latest decision, Unionmatex, in January 2020, this Article examines prior ICSID decisions to determine whether third-party funded investors are prejudiced when it comes to security for costs. It further addresses whether an applicant’s right to a costs award is a “protectable right” under Article 47 and concludes that it is not. Finding that “arbitral hit-and-run” is a hypothetical concern not based on empirical evidence and providing that ICSID’s new proposed rules to its Arbitration Rules will …

Private Juries Within The Arbitration Framework: A Third Path In Dispute Resolution, Lionel M. Schooler, Luke Gilman
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
In the context of a global pandemic and a resulting backlog of jury trials in the United States court system, this article explores the potential for employing a private jury system within existing arbitration law to provide a third path for parties seeking an expedient resolution of disputes by juries when impediments exist to jury trial in court. After an introduction and background on the current state of the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and its effect on court backlogs, we outline the law applicable to private jury proceedings, including (a) whether an arbitral award predicated on a private jury determination is …
Who Bears The Cost Of An Emergency: Balancing Billing's Effects On Health Care Providers, And Solutions Through Alternative Dispute Resolution, Hayden Tavoda
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Arbitration, as well as other forms of alternative dispute resolution, provide many benefits for all parties when a dispute arises, such as faster results and less expense and time than litigation, and the potential for more qualified finders of fact on a specific topic rather than a jury of peers. In the following case note, Part II will focus on the background of different types of health insurance carriers in the United States, the Knox-Keene Act, and the California Assembly Bill 1611.20 Part III will discuss more specifically the issues that stem from balance billing through explicit cases. Part IV …
Legal Lying?, Robert Angyal, Nicholas Saady
Legal Lying?, Robert Angyal, Nicholas Saady
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Mediation has become very common in the USA and Australia—at least partly because of court-mandated mediation initiatives. Lawyers often represent clients at mediations, so the increased use of mediation makes it important to understand how both jurisdictions regulate lawyers’ advocacy on behalf of their clients during mediation. This article comparatively analyzes how professional standards regulate the truthfulness of lawyers’ advocacy during mediation in Australia and the United States. It focuses on uniform regulation in those jurisdictions. Part One will comparatively analyze the relevant regulations in Australia and the United States, and the types of obligations contained in those regulations—for example, …
Arbitration With Government, Jack I. Garvey
Arbitration With Government, Jack I. Garvey
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Arbitration is today increasingly dominant in the affairs of government. As a principal means of alternative dispute resolution, the utility of arbitration has brought it far beyond the confines of private law. The expanding role of arbitration is now broadly evident in agreements with governments and governmental entities at state and federal levels, and in international agreements involving governments. The question this poses for the lawyer working for government, or private parties contractually bound to arbitrate with government, is whether the adoption of arbitration for disputes involving government constitutes a fundamental shift of dynamics requiring a strategic shift in perspective …

The Legal Boundaries For Impartiality Of Idea Hearing Officers: An Update, Perry A. Zirkel
The Legal Boundaries For Impartiality Of Idea Hearing Officers: An Update, Perry A. Zirkel
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Special education has become a significant area of litigation in the K-12 school context. The impartial hearing officer (“IHO”) is the fulcrum of the adjudicative process under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (“IDEA”). However, the IDEA only provides for two standards for impartiality while the framework of remaining standards are left—via the IDEA’s structure of “cooperative federalism”—to state laws. Ultimately, the courts serve as the chief cartographer for the legal boundaries of IDEA IHO impartiality in their interpretation, gap-filling, and application of the federal and state framework. The previous research relating at least in part to IDEA IHO impartiality is …

In the matter of Hindustan Construction. Co. v. Union of India, the Honorable Supreme Court of India (“SCI”) was presented with an opportunity to adjudicate upon a petition challenging the constitutional validity of Section 87 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996 (“1996 Act”) as inserted by Section 13 of the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act of 2019 (“2019 Act").

Employment Arbitration Agreements: The Case For Ethical Standards For Dispute Resolution System Designers, Michael L. Russell
Employment Arbitration Agreements: The Case For Ethical Standards For Dispute Resolution System Designers, Michael L. Russell
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Dispute resolution design is an emerging field, both academically and professionally. Attorneys, mediators, and arbitrators, the other roles in the alternative dispute resolution process, have codes of ethics which guide their conduct. Dispute resolution designers, however, have no such guidelines. This article uses the example of mandatory arbitration agreements in the employment context to illustrate why this lack of ethical guidelines for dispute resolutions designers is problematic. In recent years, mandatory arbitration agreements significantly impacted employment law and litigation. The two most problematic provisions that often appear in mandatory arbitration agreements in the workplace context are cost sharing provisions and …
When Accessing Justice Requires Absence From The Courthouse: Utah’S Online Dispute Resolution Program And The Impact It Will Have On Pro Se Litigants, Julianne Dardanes
When Accessing Justice Requires Absence From The Courthouse: Utah’S Online Dispute Resolution Program And The Impact It Will Have On Pro Se Litigants, Julianne Dardanes
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
According to the 2017 Justice Gap Report conducted by Congress’s non-profit Legal Services Corporation (LSC), eighty-six percent of civil legal issues involving low-income Americans received scant or no legal assistance. The number of unrepresented (“pro se”) litigants continues to rise, with low-income Americans constituting a significant portion of this population. Due to the inefficiency of socioeconomically challenged litigants appearing pro se, this article proposes implementing Utah’s court-mandated Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) program as a solution nation-wide. Utah’s ODR program for small claims is revolutionary because it is the first ODR system able to handle an entire dispute instead of only …

Level The Playing Field: Advocating For The Removal Of Major League Baseball’S Prohibition On The Admissibility Of Statcast-Generated Sabermetrics As Evidence In Salary Arbitration Hearings, Christian Podest
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Then, it details how final offer arbitration became the default mechanism for resolving compensation disputes between teams and players. The paper subsequently focuses on the Collective Bargaining Agreement’s carve-out of statistical evidence and notes the similarities and differences between Major League Baseball’s evidentiary standards governing salary arbitration hearings and the Federal Rules …

It will outline the history of NHL–NHLPA relations, describe the main issues influencing the upcoming CBA negotiations, and explain the workings of the RFA system. Part III will then present and discuss proposed solutions to …
