Zoning, Taking, & Dealing: The Problems And Promise Of Bargaining In Land Use Planning, Erin Ryan

Erin Ryan

Municipal land use bargaining may imply as many problems as it heralds promise, but it is widely acknowleged as the universal language of land use planning. Planners and scholars agree that public-private negotiation plays a central role in the vast majority of local land use decision-making. At least in part, this is a result of the peculiar attributes of the resource at issue. Land is, perhaps, the ultimate nonfungible. Each parcel of land possesses unique characteristics not only in its physical attributes, but also by virtue of its location, and its proximity to other unique parcels. Moreover, land uses implicate …

Double Protection: The Case Against The "Byrd Amendment" Of U.S. Trade Law, Perry S. Bechky, Anne Macgregor

Perry S. Bechky

Under the Byrd Amendment of 2000, all collected antidumping and countervailing duties must be distributed among U.S. companies that successfully petition for the imposition of those duties. The Byrd Amendment created an economic incentive for the proliferation of trade cases. A strong legal case can be made that the Byrd Amendment is inconsistent with WTO rules.

Mediation – Seven Fundamental Questions, John Wade

John Wade

In parts of many countries, mediation is a commonly used process for managing and resolving conflict. In many other places, mediation is virtually unknown in both practice and theory. People confuse mediation with meditation or medication. Why do these interesting anthropological variations exist? Why are the various forms of mediation relatively uncommon in Sweden?

A vast and growing literature is available on conflict management and mediation. This short comment will outline seven fundamental and recurring questions about mediation. Similar questions can be asked helpfully about every profession, including lawyering, plumbing and judging. Every lawyer should be able to answer these …

“Don’T Waste My Time On Negotiation And Mediation, This Dispute Needs A Judge.” Which Conflicts Need Judges? Which Conflicts Need Filing?, John Wade

John Wade

This article contains two parts. First, there is a framework aimed at encouraging lawyers and other conflict managers to be overtly analytical when deciding which interventions may or may not be helpful in a particular conflict. Second, to illustrate this analytical framework, there are two lists of factors or diagnostic indicators that suggest that certain conflicts probably need the decision of an umpire or judge and that certain other conflicts probably need written claims to be filed in a court or tribunal. This article does not attempt to create lists of factors that indicate the suitability of many other processes, …

Developing Construction Claims For Arbitration: Two Arbitrators' Viewpoint, Douglas D. Gransberg, Charles A. Joplin

Douglas D. Gransberg

Two arbitrators' viewpoints of construction claims development are provided in the hope that the information will be useful to those needing to resolve construction claims by arbitration. It also may help to reduce the volume of costly and unnecessary documentation. Because of arbitration's relative formality, attorneys representing construction contractors and owners tend to prepare their cases in the same way as they would for litigation. This leads to potential information overkill, which threatens the arbitration panel's ability to easily sort through and understand the issues in its quest for a fair and equitable decision.

Hacia Una Argentina Digital, Horacio M. Lynch, Mauricio Devoto

Horacio M. LYNCH

"... En opinión de muchos especialistas respetados en el mundo, la Argentina no tiene futuro si no exporta. Pero exportar en este nuevo siglo no es lo mismo que hacerlo hacia el 1900: los precios de los productos primarios argentinos cayeron ocho veces en el siglo, lo que nos bajó del quinto puesto en el ránking de países al lugar número 50...".

Adr, The Judiciary, & Justice: Coming To Terms With The Alternatives, Erin Ryan

Erin Ryan

[This student note is the closing chapter of the Harvard Law Review “Developments in the Law” issue for the year 2000, devoted to developments in civil litigation.] Any discussion of recent developments in civil litigation must address the virtual revolution that has taken place regarding alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Attorneys have witnessed a steady growth in their clients' recourse to ADR in place of lawsuits, and ADR is increasingly incorporated into the litigation process by the judiciary itself—in the form of court-annexed arbitration, mediation, summary jury trials, early neutral evaluation, and judicial settlement conferences. “Alternative” models of dispute resolution have …

Jack Tsen-Ta LEE

The concepts of separability and competence-competence, which promote arbitral autonomy, exist in many jurisdictions. This article surveys the extent of their acceptance in Singapore's domestic and international arbitration law, and suggests that legislative refinements are necessary to remove doubts and resolve conflicts between the law and the SIAC [Singapore International Arbitration Centre] Rules.

Lawyers And Mediators: What Each Needs To Learn From And About The Other, John Wade

John Wade

The mediation movement has been given publicity, funds of taxpayers, and support by propagating simplistic notions of the “adversary” system and of what lawyers do on a daily basis. Conversely, lawyers have often attempted to neutralise this rival profession by (as major doorkeepers to serious family disputes) wilful ignorance of their own behaviour, ignorant criticism of mediator behaviour, anecdotal warfare and attempts to co-opt mediation under their own monopolistic umbrella.

This paper reflects upon the behaviour of both family lawyers and family mediators with the aim of assisting each group understand the other. Both groups have much to learn from …
