Doctrine Of Intertwining: A Dead-End After - Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. V. Byrd, The, Ranee Melissa Force
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The arbitrability of pendent state claims in federal securities cases has become a problematic issue. This issue arises out of federal courts' efforts to recognize the conflicting policies of two federal statutes in the context of investor-broker disputes. 2 Since 1953 federal courts have chosen sides in this controversy3 between the pro-investor Securities Acts' (hereinafter Securities Act, 1933 Act, or 1934 Act) and the pro-broker Federal Arbitration Act 5 (hereinafter Arbitration Act). Ineffectual attempts to reconcile the two competing policies were exemplified in a recent dispute between a retired dentist and his investment company, where the issue was settled by …
Clinical Negotiating Achievement As A Function Of Traditional Law School Success And As A Predictor Of Future Negotiating Performance, Charles B. Carver
Clinical Negotiating Achievement As A Function Of Traditional Law School Success And As A Predictor Of Future Negotiating Performance, Charles B. Carver
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article will explore the degree to which these two basic hypotheses have been substantiated. Statistical comparisons will be made between negotiation course performance and overall law school success. Comparisons of bargained results obtained in a Trial Advocacy class are made between students who had previously taken my Lawyer as Negotiator course and students who had not received such clinical training.

Impact Of Opinion 11 On The Publication Of Arbitration Awards, The, Donald J. Petersen, Julius Rezler
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The primary purpose of an arbitration award is, of course, to resolve the issues submitted to the arbitrator for determination. However, awards also serve a number of other purposes, namely, to facilitate the selection of arbitrators, to assist researchers in evaluating trends in arbitration, to educate prospective arbitrators, and to help the parties in the preparation of their cases and briefs.
Dispute Resolution And Preventive Law: A Reply To Professor Brown, E. A. Dauer, J. D. Nyhard
Dispute Resolution And Preventive Law: A Reply To Professor Brown, E. A. Dauer, J. D. Nyhard
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Within our discussion of scientific models and the processes of dispute resolution,' we suggested a single continuum along which the strategies of Preventive Law and of ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) could be arrayed. Beneath that synthesis lay a proposition which we may not have made entirely clear: That the two bodies of hitherto separate principles address problems which are not themselves distinct.
Federal Arbitration Act Comparison
Federal Arbitration Act Comparison
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The question the Supreme Court left unanswered in Southland is which FAA provisions must be applied by state courts.' Although the FAA clearly preempts state law on the enforceability of arbitration clauses, 6 state procedural rules may still apply in enforcing arbitration agreements.' Since the extent of preemption remains to be determined, it is important for practioners to be aware of and review potential areas of state arbitration acts which may be superceded by the FAA. Accordingly, a comparison of the FAA with selected state arbitration statutes will lend practitioners some guidance in determining the applicable law.
Defamation And Alternative Dispute Resolution: Healing The Sting, Robert M. Ackerman
Defamation And Alternative Dispute Resolution: Healing The Sting, Robert M. Ackerman
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article will explore several mechanisms for the resolution of defamation cases. It will first review problems of substantive law which present obstacles to the fair and efficient resolution of these disputes. It will then explore some substantive law reform proposals which may expedite the fair and rational resolution of these disputes. Finally, the article will suggest some private dispute resolution processes which may advance the parties' goals, with or without substantive law reform. While a large number of defamation disputes involve non- media defendants, 9 the article will focus upon disputes involving news organizations. The article will also examine …
Preliminary Analysis Of The Uses Of Scientific Models In Dispute Prevention, Management And Resolution, A, J. D. Nyhart, E. A. Dauer
Preliminary Analysis Of The Uses Of Scientific Models In Dispute Prevention, Management And Resolution, A, J. D. Nyhart, E. A. Dauer
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The ambition of this article is modest-to suggest linkages at a theoretical level rather than to "prove" them empirically. A fully rigorous analysis, employing the three model-use variants strictly as independent variables, would require the articulation of a comprehensive theory of dispute resolution, a construction which the state of the literature does not yet allow. To the extent that the analysis does lead to at least some preliminary hypotheses about the linkage between process tools and conflict outcomes, it may be useful to the eventual elaboration of such a theory.
Re-Examination Of Litigation Trends In The United States: Galanter Reconsidered, A, Kenyon D. Bunch, Richard J. Hardy
Re-Examination Of Litigation Trends In The United States: Galanter Reconsidered, A, Kenyon D. Bunch, Richard J. Hardy
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The general commentary on recent litigation patterns in the United States depicts a worrisome, and occasionally panicked, scenario often called the "litigation explosion."' The commentaries characteristically direct attention to a supposed "epidemic of hair-trigger suing" burying the courts under an "avalanche" of civil actions. 2 Moreover, judicial scholars proffer a myriad of purported explanations for the alleged prodigious growth in the number of civil lawsuits. The common theme throughout these explanations is that changes or disruptions in our social, economic, political-legal environments have caused Americans to become a contentious and overly-litigious people.

Thesis (Preventive Law), Antithesis (Adversarial Process), Synthesis (Settlement, Adr): A Comment On Nyhard And Dauer, Louis M. Brown
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In terms of the Nyhart-Dauer article, the goal which is to be attained is "the commercial exploitation of the coastal zone and continental shelf."' The legal system aids the accomplishment of that goal by permitting parties to enter into contracts which "define the measure of present exchange and provide the standards by which executory performance will later be judged... "2 The goal is achieved by performances in accord with "creative arrangements" developed "in such a way that their constituents will be most likely to accept and adhere to the undertakings to which they" are committed.3 It is performance that counts. …
Conflict And Paradox In The New American Mediation Movement: Status Quo And Social Transformation, Ted Becker
Conflict And Paradox In The New American Mediation Movement: Status Quo And Social Transformation, Ted Becker
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This essay will focus on some of the disharmony in the field of mediation in the United States, particularly from the perspective of those who try to utilize mediation's potential as an instrument of socio-political transformation. The work of these individuals remains a relatively well-kept secret in a time of much publicity about the numerous virtues of mediation as an "alternative" to the legal system. Among the reasons for this secrecy is that, for the time being, the American conflict resolution movement has been substantially overwhelmed by the force and forces of the legal system, professionalization, bureaucracy, and interest-group politics.

Journal of Dispute Resolution
Textbooks intended for law school use should be evaluated in line with their intended purpose. The objective of Dispute Resolution is to provide law students with materials that describe, explain and raise questions about our society's processes for resolving disputes. An ideal textbook is thorough in its coverage of the substance and issues of the subject matter, usable in the sense of providing resources to help the teacher motivate students and channel class discussion, and readable in a student-friendly sense. In this essay I will review the Goldberg, Green and Sander text from the classroom perspective using these standards as …
Uniform Arbitration Act, The
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In 1955, the Uniform Arbitration Act (UAA) was proposed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.' Since that time, well over half of the states have adopted statutes modeled after the UAA. 2 The purpose of this survey is to explain the principles underlying recent court decisions interpreting the UAA, and provide a framework for analyzing future cases.3
