Travel Abroad, Sue At Home 2012: Forum Non Conveniens & The Enforcement Of Forum Selection And Mandatory Arbitration Clauses, Thomas A. Dickerson

Pace Law Review

A common litigation strategy is to sue in the U.S. in federal or state court against a solvent defendant subject to long-arm jurisdiction and the application of U.S. common law or statutory law. Such cases raise a variety of complex liability and procedural issues including liability shifting, jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, and choice of law. This Article will identify various types of travel accidents abroad, and discuss the doctrine of forum non conveniens and the enforceability of forum selection and mandatory arbitration clauses in travel consumer contracts.

Interim Measures , Marianne Roth Jul 2012

Interim Measures , Marianne Roth

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Traditionally, requests for interim relief have been a construct of courts. However, arbitrators are increasingly being asked to make such rulings themselves. Requesting interim relief from an arbitrator, as opposed to the court, is particularly appealing in international arbitration, where parties often engage in arbitration as a way of avoiding local courts and any home court advantage that may be associated with them. Sometimes, though, interim relief may be unavailable from the arbitral tribunal; for example, when coercion is associated with the requested measure. In such situations, the powers to grant interim measures are shared between arbitral tribunals and courts. …

State Legislative Update , Lacy Cansler, Daniel Levy, Kelisen Molloy, Henry Tanner

Journal of Dispute Resolution

While on the surface it seems like any legislation helping Americans keep their homes is a good idea, some critics question the effectiveness of these laws. They cite evidence (to be discussed below) showing foreclosure rates do not improve in states with foreclosure mediation laws. Others argue that while it may only be a short-term fix towards the larger problems that ail our economy, foreclosure mediation has shown to be a positive measure that helps many Americans, especially when the law is properly written. This paper will analyze the recent foreclosure mediation laws, and will explore the effectiveness of this …

From Noise To Music: The Potential Of The Multi-Door Courthouse (Casas De Justicia) Model To Advance Systemic Inclusion And Participation As A Foundation For Sustainable Rule Of Law In Latin America , Mariana Hernandez-Crespo

Journal of Dispute Resolution

International bodies have attempted to provide a more sustainable response to instability through legal reform with an emphasis on rule of law, access to justice, and the use of alternative or appropriate dispute resolution. Yet, in Latin America of yesterday and today, there is a marked gap between law on the books and law in action, due in part to lack of citizen engagement.


Bit Unfair: An Illustration Of The Backlash Against International Arbitration In Latin America, A, David Ma Jul 2012

Bit Unfair: An Illustration Of The Backlash Against International Arbitration In Latin America, A, David Ma

Journal of Dispute Resolution

With the survival of BITs at fulcrum, the Second Circuit recently decided a highly publicized and notorious case applying international arbitration in Chevron Corp. v. Republic of Ecuador. This comment will discuss Chevron and its effects within the wider corpus of BIT international arbitration to provide an illustration of the current debate and status of the BIT framework. The purported benefits BITs provide to signatory countries exist theoretically, and to test these theoretical underpinnings, this comment will discuss Chevron for the purpose of providing real context to a predominately academic debate. Chevron shall demonstrate that theoretical effects and practical effects …


Property Insurance Appraisal: Is Determining Causation Essential To Evaluating The Amount Of Loss , Ashley Smith Jul 2012

Property Insurance Appraisal: Is Determining Causation Essential To Evaluating The Amount Of Loss , Ashley Smith

Journal of Dispute Resolution

While the appraisal procedure is commonly used in property insurance claims, the scope of an appraisal is contested. Courts are divided on whether to allow the determination of causation within an appraisal process. Whether or not to allow the determination of causation in appraisal and the reasoning behind each position can be influential for the majority of state and federal courts who have yet to confront this issue. Outlined below is an overview of the appraisal process within the property insurance context, a distinction of causation from coverage, and courts’ reasoning for allowing or forbidding the determination of causation in …


Supreme Court Issues Notice To Courts: Bifurcated Proceedings Still Required, Valerie Dixon Jul 2012

Supreme Court Issues Notice To Courts: Bifurcated Proceedings Still Required, Valerie Dixon

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The United States Supreme Court has made its preference for arbitration widely known through continued declarations of its policy to that effect. In KPMG v. Cocchi, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that preference once again. In that case, however, the Court also found a need to issue a reminder to lower courts that its decision in Dean Witter v. Byrd was still the law of the land. One of the most interesting questions arising from this clear reminder to adhere to precedent is why the Supreme Court felt the need to articulate it at all.


If It Only Had A Heart: Supreme Court Eschews Compassion For Cash-Strapped Consumers In Upholding The Validity Of Arbitration Clauses In Credit Repair Contracts, Collin Koenig Jul 2012

If It Only Had A Heart: Supreme Court Eschews Compassion For Cash-Strapped Consumers In Upholding The Validity Of Arbitration Clauses In Credit Repair Contracts, Collin Koenig

Journal of Dispute Resolution

in CompuCredit Corp. v. Greenwood, the Supreme Court was faced with the issue of whether consumers' claims under the CROA can be resolved through contractually required arbitration, or whether the language of the statute requires resolution between credit repair organizations and consumers may include enforceable arbitration agreements. This note criticizes the Supreme Court's reasoning, partly inspired by Justice Ginsburg's dissent. In enforcing arbitrability of CROA disputes, the Court has acted contrary to Congress' purposes of the Act: to ensure that consumers are making an "informed decision" when dealing with CROs and to protect consumers from deceptive credit repair services. In …

Faa Versus The Magnuson - Moss Warranty Act: Which Warrants Precedence, The, Tyler Beckerle

Journal of Dispute Resolution

These questions have proven to be a formidable foe for the judiciary. Moreover, courts and commentators have been divided as to what answer will produce the best policy. In 2002, the discussion seemed to be headed toward conclusion after the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits found that the FAA should trump the MMWA in the event of statutory conflict. However, with the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Kolev v. Euromotors West/The Auto Gallery, this polarizing issue has once again become a focus in American jurisprudence. While the Ninth Circuit has recently withdrawn Kolev sua sponte, it is doubtful that the Ninth Circuit …

Concepcion And Preemption Under The Federal Arbitration Act, Ian D. Mitchell, Richard A. Bales Jul 2012

Concepcion And Preemption Under The Federal Arbitration Act, Ian D. Mitchell, Richard A. Bales

Arbitration Law Review

The Supreme Court held in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion that a California law declaring class arbitration waivers unconscionable was preempted because it stood as an "obstacle to the accomplishment and execution of the full purposes and objectives" of the Federal Arbitration Act. The Court's Concepcion decision was necessarily based on implied preemption, because the FAA contains no express preemption clause and because there was no textual conflict between the FAA and the California law. Concepcion
