Union grievance dated November 13, 1996 alleging breach of the Collective Agreement between the parties bearing the date January 31, 1995, and in particular of Article 10.01 in that the Employer discharged the Grievor without just, reasonable and sufficient cause. On behalf of the Grievor the Union requests that he be reinstated and compensated for all lost rights, earnings and benefits, with interest. At the hearing the Union submitted that a suspension of six months, the period for which the Grievor had then been off work, be substituted.
Does Adr Really Have A Place On The Lawyer's Philosophical Map?, Barbara Mcadoo, Nancy A. Welsh
Does Adr Really Have A Place On The Lawyer's Philosophical Map?, Barbara Mcadoo, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
For nearly two decades, proponents of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) have touted the advantages of institutionalizing ADR within the courts. The anticipated benefits have included: quicker settlements, better settlements, resolution which is less expensive for the courts and litigants, and greater litigant satisfaction with both the procedure and the outcome. Many state and federal courts have listened. Indeed, in nearly every state, at least one local state and/or federal court has incorporated ADR in some manner. In Minnesota, with the promulgation of Rule 114 of the Minnesota General Rules of Practice, the Minnesota Supreme Court has chosen to institutionalize ADR …

Grappling The Monster Case: The Next Frontier In Adr, Nancy A. Welsh, Ann Montgomery
Grappling The Monster Case: The Next Frontier In Adr, Nancy A. Welsh, Ann Montgomery
Faculty Scholarship
Not so long ago, "ADR" was just one more term in a legal jargon already filled with too many acronyms. While we concede that "ADR" might not rival "CPR" as a vital necessity, its use is extremely important to the practice of law today. Since the promulgation of Rule 114 of the Minnesota General Rules of Practice, nearly 80 percent of Minnesota attorneys report that they are using ADR to help resolve their civil cases filed in state trial courts.' Their reasons? ADR processes can cut litigation costs, reduce clients' expenses, save attorneys' and clients' time, and generate earlier settlements. …

How Will Lawyering And Mediation Practices Transform Each Other?, John M. Lande
How Will Lawyering And Mediation Practices Transform Each Other?, John M. Lande
Faculty Publications
This article sketches out some aspects of both lawyering and mediation practice that may be affected by development of a litimediation culture. Part II examines the growth of the private market for mediation and an accompanying specialization of mediation practice. These changes seem likely to require mediators to develop market niches with identifiable characteristics of their mediation practices. Simultaneously, lawyers, as regular buyers of mediation services, will be expected to recognize and make decisions based on significant distinctions between mediation providers.

Re Pictou District School Board And Nstu, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
Employee grievance alleging breach of the Professional Agreement between the Board and the Union made on June 29, 1990, which the parties agreed is the relevant collective agreement here, in that, without proper cause, the Board demoted the Grievor from the position of Vice-Principal of Trenton High School to the position of teacher. The parties agreed that the grievance was properly filed and is before me in accordance with Article 2 of the Professional Agree-ment. The Union requests an order that the Grievor be reinstated as Vice-Principal and be paid the difference between what he has been paid as a …
Assessing Consensus: The Promise And Performance Of Negotiated Rulemaking, Cary Coglianese
Assessing Consensus: The Promise And Performance Of Negotiated Rulemaking, Cary Coglianese
All Faculty Scholarship
Over its thirteen year history, the negotiated rulemaking process has yielded only thirty-five final administrative rules. By comparison, the federal government publishes over 3,000 final rules each year through the ordinary notice-and- comment process. Why have federal agencies relied so little on negotiated rulemaking? I examine this question by assessing the impact of negotiating rulemaking on its two major purposes: (1) reducing rulemaking time; and (2) decreasing the amount of litigation over agency rules. My analysis suggests that the asserted problems used to justify negotiated rulemaking have been overstated and that the limitations of negotiated rulemaking have been understated. Negotiated …

Union policy grievances alleging breach of the Collective Agreement between the Union and T.C.C. Bottling Ltd., amended and kept in force between these parties by the Memorandum of Agreement dated October 19, 1993, which the parties agreed is the Collective Agreement that governs this matter, and in particular of Articles 2, 8, 13 and 22, in that the Employer employed people who were not union members to do bargaining work in the service department. The Union requested that the Employer be ordered to pay damages to employees on lay-off who should have done the work in question.

Investment Disputes And Jurisdiction Of The International Center For Settlement Of Investment Disputes (Icsid), Vakhid Yakubjanovitch Saparov
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis will analyze one of the ways in which disputes arising from developed countries' investment activities in the developing countries are decided. The issues of investment and disputes are of great importance to the developed countries as well as to developing countries. The scope of the issues gives rise to a multitude of questions of national and international law in an interdependent world economy. International investment attracts the close attention of international law because it brings the movement of people and financial resources from one country to another and such movement gives rise to a potential risk for conflict …

A Post-Conference Reflection On Separate Ethical Aspirations For Adr's Not-So-Separate Practitioners, John Q. Barrett
A Post-Conference Reflection On Separate Ethical Aspirations For Adr's Not-So-Separate Practitioners, John Q. Barrett
Faculty Publications
At "The Lawyer's Duties and Responsibilities in Dispute Resolution" Symposium at South Texas College of Law, Oct. 25, 1996, a central topic of discussion was ADR's ethical separateness. There was a shared sense that ADR providers and practitioners confront a range of ethical issues that differ from those that confront non-ADR lawyers. On this view, because rules of professional responsibility are geared toward more adversarial forms of legal practice, they at best provide no answers and may provide wrong answers to ethical questions that arise in ADR. One solution would be to create new, separate, "role-specific" ethics rules for ADR …
Public Justice: Toward A State Action Theory Of Alterative Dispute Resolution, Richard C. Reuben
Public Justice: Toward A State Action Theory Of Alterative Dispute Resolution, Richard C. Reuben
Faculty Publications
Various forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) are increasingly taking the place of litigation to resolve disagreements among parties. ADR is frequently imposed by court rule or legislative command for certain types of cases, or compelled by courts when private parties contract to use ADR. To date, ADR doctrine has focused on the structural issues attendant to bringing these processes into the mainstream of American dispute resolution. This Article contends that courts must now address the question of whether ADR-both court-related and contractual-can constitute state action, and therefore be subject to constitutional restraints. The author surveys the history and modern …

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
This article uses my work on complex adaptive systems to think about how litigation and mediation differ in terms of adaptive qualities, suggesting that mediation is indeed a more adaptive mode of dispute resolution in certain contexts.
Psychology, Economics, And Settlement: A New Look At The Role Of The Lawyer, Chris Guthrie, Russell Korobkin
Psychology, Economics, And Settlement: A New Look At The Role Of The Lawyer, Chris Guthrie, Russell Korobkin
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Law and economics models of litigation settlement, based on the behavioral assumptions of rational choice theory, ignore the many psychological reasons that settlement negotiations can fail, yet they accurately predict that vast majority of lawsuits will settle short of formal adjudication. What explains this? We present experimental data that suggests lawyers might evaluate the settlement vs. adjudication decision from a perspective more closely akin to "rational choice theory" than will non-lawyers and, consequently, increase the observed level of settlement. We then evaluate whether the hypothesized difference between lawyers and non-lawyers is likely to lead to more efficient dispute resolution, concluding …

Gateway Widens Doorway To Imposing Unfair Binding Arbitration On Consumers, Jean R. Sternlight

Hill v. Gateway, is but the most extreme example of a series of court decisions that allow large companies to impose potentially unfair binding arbitration agreements on unwitting consumers. The outcome in Gateway, however, is questionable on federal statutory, common law, and constitutional grounds.
The Dispute Settlement Systems Of Wto And Nafta - Analysis And Comparison, Patrick Specht
The Dispute Settlement Systems Of Wto And Nafta - Analysis And Comparison, Patrick Specht
LLM Theses and Essays
The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the dispute settlement institutions of the WTO and the NAFTA meet the standard, to compare the two systems, and to evaluate them. An issue that should be dealt with first is the question of comparability. Is it possible to compare the WTO and the NAFTA regarding their conflict resolution procedures? Or are they too different because one agreement works on the global level and the other on a regional one? Their institutions and their scope may differ, but they are still conducive to comparison because the underlying structure of these two …

Lawyers, Clients, And Mediation , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley
Faculty Scholarship
That the growth of mediation practice is changing the practice of law is obvious. The inability of many lawyers to understand the conceptual differences between adversarial lawyering and mediation practice strongly suggests the need to develop a theory of "good" representational mediation practice that takes into account competing client interests. On the one hand, lawyers must encourage client voice and participation. At the same time, however, the demands of professionalism require that lawyers guide their clients toward responsible decisionmaking. Representational lawyering in mediation may involve a number of distinct and traditional lawyering functions-- client counseling, negotiation, evaluation and advocacy. In …

The Law Of Arbitration, Theodore J. St. Antoine
The Law Of Arbitration, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Book Chapters
The law did not look kindly on arbitration in its infancy. As a process by which two or more parties could agree to have an impartial outsider resolve a dispute between them, arbitration was seen as a usurpation of the judiciary' sown functions, as an attempt to "oust the courts of jurisdiction." That was the English view, and American courts were similarly hostile. They would not order specific performance of an executory (unperformed) agreement to arbitrate, nor grant more than nominal damages for the usual breach. Only an arbitral award actually issued was enforceable at common law. All this began …

The Silences Of The Restatement Of The Law Governing Lawyers: Lawyering As Only Adversary Practice, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
The Silences Of The Restatement Of The Law Governing Lawyers: Lawyering As Only Adversary Practice, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The attempt to "restate" the law governing lawyers is a noble effort. The drafts, to date, have presented a heroic gathering, in one place, of case law and competing formulations of a variety of the professional disciplinary codes. The drafters have attempted to settle some difficult and often contentious issues regarding lawyer responsibilities to clients, to courts, to third parties, and to themselves. At the same time, this Restatement suffers from the temporal flaws of all its sisters and brothers - in its efforts to "restate" the law it looks backward, not forward, and thus will provide little guidance, at …

Toward Uniform Standards Of Conduct For Mediators Symposium: The Lawyer's Duties And Responsibilities In Dispute Resolution, John D. Feerick
Faculty Scholarship
It can no longer be doubted that alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") as a substitute for court-based litigation is growing in appeal. The high costs, adversarial nature, and time of traditional litigation have led to the development and popularity of other dispute resolution alternatives. ADR is making substantial inroads into the legal mainstream and is increasingly used in a wide variety of contexts by courts; federal, state, and local governments; businesses and private individuals. According to a recent survey conducted by the National Institute for Dispute Resolution, twenty-eight state courts now have mandatory, non-binding arbitration programs; more than half of the …

The Role Of The Organization Of African Unity (Oau) In Regional Conflict Resolution And Dispute Settlement, Peter Mweti Munya
LLM Theses and Essays
The emergence of an artificially constructed modern state with internal contradictions, sophisticated state apparatus, and weaponry, coupled with external forces has made Africa one of the most unstable regions in the world, and peace prospects a daunting task. The post-cold war era punctuated by forces of economic liberalization and dominance of the Breton Woods institutions in the economic management of the developing countries has not only accelerated the economic marginalization of Africa placing her at the fringes of the global economy but also wrought insecurity in their wake. This post-cold war and serves to emphasize the need for the OAU …
