The Impact Of News Coverage On Conflict: Toward Greater Understanding, Richard C. Reuben
The Impact Of News Coverage On Conflict: Toward Greater Understanding, Richard C. Reuben
Faculty Publications
This article develops an approach for the empirical study of the news media’s impact on the conflict that it covers. While mass communications research has studied how the news media covers conflict, it has not taken the next step of assessing the impact of that coverage. This article contends that such an inquiry is necessarily an inter-disciplinary task, and joins conflict theory with mass communications research to identify the kinds of questions that may be empirically tested to determine whether the news media is having a constructive or destructive effect on the conflict that it covers.

Review Of Staying With Conflict: A Strategic Approach To Ongoing Disputes, Carl E. Schneider
Review Of Staying With Conflict: A Strategic Approach To Ongoing Disputes, Carl E. Schneider
Reviews
Bernie is at it again! And we can be thankful for that. For the past three decades, he has consistently provided leadership in our field. A central part of his work has been his invitation for us to rethink just what our field is. Through his work, he has offered us an expanded definition of our role. This time, in Staying with Conflict, he wants us to consider how misleading and confining our tag line of “conflict resolution” is. So much of what we deal with cannot be resolved! If that is our self-concept, he argues, we will often …

Inducing Breach Of Contract, Conversion And Contract As Property, Pey Woan Lee
Inducing Breach Of Contract, Conversion And Contract As Property, Pey Woan Lee
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article seeks to understand contractual rights through an examination of the possible ‘property’ content in contracts in the context of the inducement tort and conversion. It argues that, contrary to popular perception, contracts and property are different shades of a similar phenomenon. Not being a reified ‘thing’ with stable features and structure, property is a relative rather than an absolute concept. To determine whether the holder of an intangible resource ought to be conferred with ‘property’ or exclusive control of access to such resource, one has to evaluate the relevant practical, legal and moral considerations. Applied to the context …
Good Faith As The Absence Of Bad Faith: The Excluder Theory In Mediation, Nadja Alexander
Good Faith As The Absence Of Bad Faith: The Excluder Theory In Mediation, Nadja Alexander
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Views vary as to the behaviour necessary to constitute good faith — or equivalent concepts such as genuine and reasonable attempts — in mediation and as to behaviour which falls below the standard.

Mediation And The Myth Of Universality, Nadja Alexander
Mediation And The Myth Of Universality, Nadja Alexander
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In his essay entitled ‘Mediation: Pfade zum Frieden’, Professor Montada has made an important contribution to the mediation literature. He questions the universality of the standard mediation model that appears to be sweeping the world with enormous zeal and in doing so puts forward theories and principles to substantiate his view. To a large extent I agree with what the author has to say about the scope and potential for mediation. In particular I support his view that professional mediators need to be made aware of the cultural limitations of the model in which they are trained. As I write …

The Legal And Practical Aspects Of Atm's In Tanzania, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
The concern of our study was to examine the legal and practical aspects of ATMs in Tanzania. The major problems that were being examined are; the 24 hours operation on ATMs vis-à-vis system failure or error and the system of one bank allowing cardholders of another bank to use its ATMs. With the first problem, all banks in Tanzania with ATMs have attractive advertisements to customers that affirm sufficient services in any time of the day but in reality, the machines usually fail to respond the instructions of the cardholder regardless the fact that the cardholder inserts the card and …
Interest As Damages, John Y. Gotanda, Thierry J. Sénéchal
Interest As Damages, John Y. Gotanda, Thierry J. Sénéchal
Working Paper Series
In this article, we posit that when arbitral tribunals decide international disputes, they typically fail to fully compensate claimants for the loss of the use of their money. This failure occurs because they do not acknowledge that businesses typically invest in opportunities that pose a significantly greater risk than the risk reflected in such commonly used standards as U.S. T-bills and LIBOR rates. Claimants also must share the blame when they do not set out a well-constructed claim for interest as damages. However, even when claimants do so, tribunals often award damages at a statutory rate or at rate reflecting …
International Rule Of Law And Constitutional Justice In International Investment Law And Arbitration, Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann
International Rule Of Law And Constitutional Justice In International Investment Law And Arbitration, Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Judicial administration of justice through reasoned interpretation, application and clarification of legal principles and rules is among the oldest paradigms of constitutional justice. The principles of procedural justice underlying investor-state arbitration remain controversial, especially if confidentiality and party autonomy governing commercial arbitration risk neglecting adversely affected third parties and public interests. There are also concerns that rule-following and formal equality of foreign investors and home states may not ensure substantive justice in the settlement of investment disputes unless arbitrators and courts take more seriously their customary law obligation of settling disputes in conformity with human rights obligations of governments and …
The Sounds Of Silence: Are U.S. Arbitrators Creating Internationally Enforceable Awards When Ordering Class Arbitration In Cases Of Contractual Silence Or Ambiguity?, S. I. Strong
Faculty Publications
This article addresses a gap in the scholarly literature by comparing interpretive methodologies used by U.S. arbitrators to those used by international arbitrators to determine whether and to what extent U.S.-based class awards are enforceable outside the United States. Since many courts and arbitrators have claimed an analogy between consolidated and class arbitration, the article also considers whether such an analogy is appropriate as a matter of law and policy to identify whether the traditional disinclination to order consolidation can or should be extended to class proceedings. This second portion of the article is applicable to both domestic class arbitrations …
Collaboration: The Future Of Governance, Philip J. Harter
Collaboration: The Future Of Governance, Philip J. Harter
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The thesis of this paper is that collaboration-the public and private spheres working together while recognizing the legitimate role of each-should play a major role in making these important decisions. Can collaboration diminish the rancor? Certainly not on its own, but it can lead people to recognize that others are listening and trying to reach appropriate decisions. That alone has powerful political consequences.' Should the procedures described here be used for all public decisions? Of course not. But they should be considered for major ones precisely because they are effective, and a form of collaboration-a recognition that others have important …
Administrative Law And Culture For The U.S. Collaborative Governance State, David H. Rosenbloomn, Mei Jen Hung
Administrative Law And Culture For The U.S. Collaborative Governance State, David H. Rosenbloomn, Mei Jen Hung
Journal of Dispute Resolution
During the 1980s and 1990s, collaborative governance emerged as a potentially new global paradigm for public administration. It comes in many forms. However, its essence is governmental reliance on nongovernmental entities for the delivery of public services and constraints. Simply put, collaborative governance calls on government to focus on "steering" while relying on third parties to do the "rowing." In the United States, collaborative government is not new in kind-the federal government relied on contractors to convey the mail from the early days of the republic. Rather it is new in scope, accounting for billions of dollars and millions of …
Collaborative Governance: Emerging Practices And The Incomplete Legal Framework For Public And Stakeholder Voice, Lisa Blomgran Bingham
Collaborative Governance: Emerging Practices And The Incomplete Legal Framework For Public And Stakeholder Voice, Lisa Blomgran Bingham
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article describes the broad range of processes through which citizens and stakeholders collaborate to make, implement, and enforce public policy. First, it briefly reviews collaborative and new governance. Second, it describes deliberative democracy; collaborative public or network management; and appropriate dispute resolution in the policy process. These three separate fields are part of a single phenomenon, namely the changing nature of citizen and stakeholder voice in governance. Third, it describes how these new forms of participation operate across the policy continuum. Fourth, it briefly reviews existing legal infrastructure for collaborative governance primarily from the perspective of federal administrative law. …
Some Thoughts On Judicial Review And Collaborative Governance, Michael Herz
Some Thoughts On Judicial Review And Collaborative Governance, Michael Herz
Journal of Dispute Resolution
A, perhaps the, central and never-to-be-resolved debate in American administrative law concerns this: to what extent should agencies be left to their own devices? Were the answer "completely," then there would be no such thing as administrative law. There would be administrative lore, and administrative practice, and administrative culture, and administrative functions. But administrative law consists of the doctrines, statutes, and regulations that limit agency discretion and subject agencies to various forms of oversight.
Participation In Governance From A Comparative Perspective: Citizen Involvement In Telecommunications And Electricity In The United Kingdom, France And Sweden, Dorit Rabinstein Reiss
Participation In Governance From A Comparative Perspective: Citizen Involvement In Telecommunications And Electricity In The United Kingdom, France And Sweden, Dorit Rabinstein Reiss
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Since the goal is to compare the European experiments with those adopted in the United States, the paper is structured around that comparison. This part introduces the issues and the methodology. Part II provides a brief description of the case studies, addressing similarities and differences among the European countries. Part III then discusses several mechanisms considered necessary to participation in the United States that have been rejected by the agencies in the European countries. Part IV describes the parallels, though it also points out differences between the countries individually, as well as between them and the United States collectively. Part …
When Precedent Wears Thin: The Missouri Supreme Court Clarifies An Issue Of Ambiguity Affecting The Arbitrability Of Wrongful Death Claims, Ashley Brittain
When Precedent Wears Thin: The Missouri Supreme Court Clarifies An Issue Of Ambiguity Affecting The Arbitrability Of Wrongful Death Claims, Ashley Brittain
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The issue before the Missouri Supreme Court in Lawrence H was whether an arbitration agreement signed on behalf of a nursing home resident is binding on plaintiffs in a wrongful death action against the nursing home. Beverly Manor argued that the court's decision in Burns "undercut" the cases holding that a wrongful death claim is a new and independent cause of action. However, the court disagreed that the Burns decision overturned such precedent. The court admitted that the language of Burns may seem to create ambiguity about whether wrongful death is a derivative claim but clarified that the Burns holding …
Failure To Object: Tribal Waiver Of Immunity By Participation In Arbitration, Christopher Mcmillin
Failure To Object: Tribal Waiver Of Immunity By Participation In Arbitration, Christopher Mcmillin
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In Oglala Sioux Tribe v. C & W Enterprises, Inc. (Oglala), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit dealt with whether a tribe's affirmative participation in the arbitration process waived its sovereign immunity as to arbitration and enforcement of an arbitration award in state court. Previously, courts have maintained that the existence of an arbitration clause in a commercial contract was sufficient to waive tribal immunity, but they relied on the explicit wording of the agreement itself. In the instant decision, this precedent applied to three construction contracts that contained an explicit choice of law provision, but the …
Consistent With Inconsistency: The Sixth Circuit Keeps Manifest Disregard After Hall Street, John C. Steffens
Consistent With Inconsistency: The Sixth Circuit Keeps Manifest Disregard After Hall Street, John C. Steffens
Journal of Dispute Resolution
For over half a century, courts have used the doctrine of manifest disregard as a ground for vacating arbitration awards. However, the Supreme Court's ruling in Hall Street Associates. v. Mattel raised questions among lower courts regarding the viability of the doctrine after the Hall Street decision. Today, many lower courts differ in their application of the doctrine. Some courts claim that the Hall Street decision has ended the viability of manifest disregard. Others claim that the doctrine lives on as an interpretation of section 10 of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA),5 despite the Supreme Court's ruling in Hall Street.
When Procedure Moonlights As Reason, There Is Nothing Left To Abuse, Matthew E. Terry
When Procedure Moonlights As Reason, There Is Nothing Left To Abuse, Matthew E. Terry
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In Greenstreet v. Social Security Administration, when the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals could not discern exactly what basis upon which an arbitrator acted, it leapt past any presumption in favor of the arbitrator's discretion and found that what an arbitrator did not do was an abuse of his decision-making volition, just as an act beyond his prescriptive powers would have been an abuse of discretion. So, in attempting to weed out the arbitrariness in the arbitration processes that decide workplace punishments, the court heaped needless and unreasoned process squarely into the arbitrator's path, thereby greatly lessening the amount of …
Collaborative Governance Meets Presidential Regulatory Review, Donald R. Arbuckle
Collaborative Governance Meets Presidential Regulatory Review, Donald R. Arbuckle
Journal of Dispute Resolution
As I will discuss below, White House decision-making and OIRA regulatory review have a hierarchical component that is at odds with the horizontal nature of collaboration. The President's constitutional duties to manage the executive branch and OIRA's role as his agent in regulatory review require strong oversight of agency regulatory activity. Rulemaking is one means by which the executive branch implements not only statutory mandates, but also presidential policy; any sitting President would be loathe to delegate his authority to a collaborative panel. Nonetheless, the benefits of collaboration can be substantial, and the President could use his authority to encourage …
Unexcused Absence: A Review Of The Need, Costs, And (Lack Of) State Support For Peer Mediation Programs In U.S. Schools, Matthew D. Decker
Unexcused Absence: A Review Of The Need, Costs, And (Lack Of) State Support For Peer Mediation Programs In U.S. Schools, Matthew D. Decker
Journal of Dispute Resolution
You might not have heard about peer mediation lately. You might not have heard about it at all. That's a problem. Peer mediation, though grossly underutilized, could be the potent and cost-effective answer to many of the problems facing U.S. schools.

State Legislative Update, Ashley Brittain, Sean Dolan, Alicia Hammond, Meghan Prideaux
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The purpose of this Bill is to provide notice to owners of residential real property owners that mediation with the mortgagee is an option at the onset of foreclosure proceedings. The Bill changes the mechanism by which borrowers are notified of foreclosures; instead of receiving a writ and summons, borrowers receive a notice of mediation, a foreclosure mediation certificate, and a blank appearance form. Borrowers still receive the writ, summons, and complaint, however. The lender must appear at the mediation with the authority to approve a proposed settlement in order to receive a remedy, and no attorney's fees will be …
What's It All About? Finding The Appropriate Problem Definition In Mediation, Leonard L. Riskin, Nancy A. Welsh
What's It All About? Finding The Appropriate Problem Definition In Mediation, Leonard L. Riskin, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
In this article, we propose four mechanisms to enable mediation participants to explore problems broadly and then to decide what problem definition is most appropriate for the mediation of their case:
- A three-step systematic method for determining the problem to be addressed;
- Two variations of a rule that could be adopted by courts (and private providers) that would require lawyers or mediators to implement this systematic way of working with problem definition; and
- A new rule under which a court (or private) mediation program would offer to customize any mediation in order to seek the most appropriate problem definition
We …
