Is State Law Looking For Trouble: The Federal Arbitration Act Flexes Its Preemptive Muscle, Robert Hollis, Sarah E. Kerner, Alexa Irene Pearson, Ryan G. Vacca
Is State Law Looking For Trouble: The Federal Arbitration Act Flexes Its Preemptive Muscle, Robert Hollis, Sarah E. Kerner, Alexa Irene Pearson, Ryan G. Vacca
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article begins with an overview of the preemption concept as it affects the American legal system. The source of preemption power is revealed and the most common forms of preemption are introduced. Next, the article discusses preemption and its interaction with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). The discussion begins with a chronological view of the cases that have defined the effects the FAA has on arbitration agreements via its preemption power and ends with a summary of the current state of the law.
State Legislative Update, Mark G. Boyko
State Legislative Update, Mark G. Boyko
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This bill would have prevented employers from requiring employees to arbitrate disputes arising under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). In doing so, it would have changed the established law in California that written agreements to arbitrate disputes are valid and enforceable. Specifically, this bill would have invalidated arbitration agreements between employers and employees if the employer required the employee to sign the agreement as a condition of employment. A.B. 1715 would have applied to employers with five or more employees.
Adr Clause By Any Other Name Might Smell As Sweet: England's High Court Of Justice Queens Bench Attempts And Fails To Define What Is Not An Enforceable Adr Clause - Cable 7 & (And) Wireless Plc V. Ibm United Kingdom Ltd, An, Alyson Carrel
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The High Court of Justice Queens Bench Division in England issued a ruling that provides sweeping support for the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in private pre-dispute contract clauses.' While this support might seem to aid in developing the growing ADR movement in England, the judge may have put the cart before the horse by enforcing a non-descript and broad ADR contract clause that lacks the specificity needed to ensure a fair outcome. This decision could be detrimental for disputing parties and the future of the ADR movement itself.
Applying The Eligibility Rule In Securities Arbitration: Resolving Circuit Court Conflict Regarding The Proper Role Of Arbitrators And Courts - Howsam V. Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc., James D. Hughes
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In Howsam v. Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc., the United States Supreme Court reviewed a Tenth Circuit holding that the eligibility rule presented a question of arbitrability, and was thus for the court to decide. Reversing, the Supreme Court held that the arbitrator, not a court, should apply the time limit rule. The Court's decision resolves the split among the circuit courts in addition to allowing arbitration clauses in securities firms' client agreements to serve their purpose of providing an efficient and less costly method of litigating disputes relating to investment accounts, ultimately increasing investor confidence in the securities industry.
What Would You Do - With A Taniwha At The Table?, Ian Macduff
What Would You Do - With A Taniwha At The Table?, Ian Macduff
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In New Zealand, a complicating factor in some disputes may involve the presence (whether one believes it or not) of a taniwha, or spirit, as a major part of the negotiations. What advice would you have for mediators who face such significant cross-cultural, identity-based issues? The author hopes readers of this journal will be able to provide some insighful advice.

Alternative Dispute Resolution As A Means Of Access To Justice In The Russian Federation, Elena Nosyreva, Douglas Carman, Dana Tumenova
Alternative Dispute Resolution As A Means Of Access To Justice In The Russian Federation, Elena Nosyreva, Douglas Carman, Dana Tumenova
Washington International Law Journal
This Article represents recent scholarship in Russian jurisprudence concerning the use of alternative dispute resolution procedures. It was written by a professor who is an active participant in law reform projects addressing the problems of elaborating legislation to articulate the rights and duties of parties involved in economic and other disputes. This Article covers three forms of dispute resolution—negotiations, claims-based dispute resolution, and mediation—and identifies characteristics of these procedures that are peculiar to the Russian context. By reviewing the forms of conflict resolution employed in Soviet-era command economy and exploring the contours of contemporary Russian "legal culture," the Article attempts …

First Options, Consent To Arbitration, And The Demise Of Separability: Restoring Access To Justice For Contracts With Arbitration Provisions, Richard C. Reuben
First Options, Consent To Arbitration, And The Demise Of Separability: Restoring Access To Justice For Contracts With Arbitration Provisions, Richard C. Reuben
Faculty Publications
This article describes the context and current state of the law in this area under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), urges the Court to continue its path toward actual consent to arbitration, and suggests an approach for finally reconciling the tension between Prima Paint and First Options. Part II describes the nature and historical context of the arbitrability problem. Part III focuses specifically on the doctrine of separability, which is the most critical (and most complex) of these exceptions. Part IV discusses the impact on separability of recent U.S. Supreme Court case law, especially the 1995 decision in First Options …

Back To Prima Paint Corp. V. Flood & Conklin Manufacturing Co.: To Challenge An Arbitration Agreement You Must Challenge The Arbitration Agreement, Andre V. Egle
Washington Law Review
The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) requires courts to order parties in a dispute arising out of a commercial contract containing an arbitration provision to proceed to arbitration unless the formation or performance of the arbitration agreement itself is at issue. In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Prima Paint Corp. v. Flood & Conklin Manufacturing Co. that under the FAA, courts, instead of arbitrators, should resolve claims for fraudulent inducement of arbitration agreements. However, courts were not permitted to resolve claims for fraud in the inducement of the underlying commercial contracts. The Court also held that when deciding whether …

Restitution In Public Concern Cases, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Restitution In Public Concern Cases, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Enron Corporation. Arthur Andersen. Guns. Tobacco. Lead. Asbestos. Water Pollution. All are in the news as allegedly having caused injury. All involve restitution. Plaintiffs are bringing suits claiming that not only have they been injured, but also that the companies involved have been unjustly enriched at the plaintiffs' expense. The plaintiffs use, either explicitly or implicitly, the broad concept of restitution found in section one of the Restatement of the Law of Restitution. That section, entitled "Unjust Enrichment," says "[a] person who has been unjustly enriched at the expense of another is required to make restitution to the other."' In …

Enforcement Of Wto Rulings: An Interest Group Analysis, Mark L. Movsesian
Faculty Publications
The WTO's Dispute Settlement Understanding ("DSU") provides that disputes are to be resolved in adversarial proceedings before impartial panels of experts. These panels have authority to decide whether members' laws conform to WTO requirements; members may appeal rulings to a permanent Appellate Body within the organization, which has the final say on questions of law and legal interpretation. Under the DSU, if a member fails to comply with a final ruling in a dispute, the prevailing party may retaliate by suspending trade concessions that it owes the offending member. This retaliation can continue until the offending member implements the WTO's …
Possibilities For Collaborative Law: Ethics And Practice Of Lawyer Disqualification And Process Control In A New Model Of Lawyering, John M. Lande
Possibilities For Collaborative Law: Ethics And Practice Of Lawyer Disqualification And Process Control In A New Model Of Lawyering, John M. Lande
Faculty Publications
This article assesses the possibilities for collaborative law (CL) to promote problem-solving negotiation and analyzes the operation and effect of the CL disqualification agreement (DA), which CL leaders hold as essential to the process. In CL, the lawyers and clients agree to negotiate from the outset of the case using a problem-solving approach. Under CL theory, the process creates a metaphorical "container" by using a DA disqualifying both lawyers from representing their clients if either party chooses to proceed in litigation. This article argues that much CL theory and practice is valuable, including protocols of early commitment to negotiation, interest-based …

The Sound Of Dust Settling: A Response To Residual Criticisms Of The Uma, Richard C. Reuben
Faculty Publications
The Uniform Mediation Act has gone to the states for consideration after about five years of research, drafting, and vetting, and ultimately, overwhelming support by the American Bar Association, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, most major dispute resolution professional organizations and service providers, and many if not most leading dispute scholars. Despite this support, concerns about the UMA still continue to echo from its drafting. Professor Brian Shannon's criticisms largely echo these discussions, and in this article I seek to respond to some of them - after first extending my greatest appreciation to Professor Shannon for …

Interdisciplinary Collaboration And The Beauty Of Surprise: A Symposium Introduction, Robert M. Ackerman, Nancy A. Welsh
Law Faculty Research Publications
The rapid changes in technology and society are destabilizing old occupations, while the newly emerging ones are still in a state of chaos. "What constitutes good work?" is a question all of us must ask again and again. How can we live up to the demands of our job and the expectations of society without denying the needs of our personal identities? What resources can we draw on, as powerful, often contradictory forces cause stress, doubt, and guilt to creep into the performance of our work?

Structure, Legitimacy And Nafta’S Investment Chapter, Charles Hendrickson Brower Ii
Law Faculty Research Publications
In this Article, Professor Brower examines the investment chapter of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). He argues that the relevant treaty provisions lack a substantial measure of textual clarity. In addition, he argues that ad hoc tribunals based on the commercial arbitration model have generated incoherent doctrine and are relatively less accountable, transparent, and accessible than permanent tribunals. Furthermore, he argues that the NAFTA Parties and their courts so far appear to place a higher priority on the pursuit of narrow self-interest than on the principled administration of international governance. Collectively, these circumstances help to explain the frequency …

Liability Of Mediators For Pressure, Drafting And Advice, John Wade
John Wade
Complex tensions that can occur during negotiations and decision-making are illustrated in the Supreme Court of Victoria decision in the case of Taphoohi v Lewenberg. Cases such as this place judges in the position of making decisions about 'proper mediator behaviour' and of making major policy decisions about professional diversity and standards.
The Exercise Of Contract Freedom In The Making Of Arbitration Agreements, Thomas E. Carbonneau
The Exercise Of Contract Freedom In The Making Of Arbitration Agreements, Thomas E. Carbonneau
Journal Articles
A universal principle of contemporary arbitration law is that contract plays a vital role in the governance of arbitration. The vitality of that role can vary by legal system, court,statute, or treaty. Nonetheless, party agreement often provides the most significant rules for regulating arbitrations and conducting arbitral proceedings. This is especially true in international commercial arbitration. There, the lack of a functional transborder legislativeand adjudicatory process made contract the principal source of law for internationalcommercial transactions and arbitrations. Although law-making is more possible withinindividual national legal systems, the rule of contract freedom is also firmly established inmatters of domestic arbitration. …
Can Compulsory Arbitration Be Reconciled With Section 7 Rights?, Ann C. Hodges
Can Compulsory Arbitration Be Reconciled With Section 7 Rights?, Ann C. Hodges
Law Faculty Publications
Employers are increasingly imposing arbitration agreements on their employees as a condition of employment. These agreements force the employees to arbitrate, rather than litigate, any legal claims arising out of their employment. For employees covered by the National Labor Relations Act, such agreements may impair their rights to engage in concerted activity, since litigation of employment claims is protected by Section 7. Employee rights to file class actions, consolidate claims, and seek broad injunctive relief are concerted actions that are particularly threatened by the move to compelled arbitration. The Article analyzes the impact of arbitration agreements on various forms of …
