The Accidental Preemption Statute: The Federal Arbitration Act And Displacement Of Agency Regulation, Maureen A. Weston Jan 2013

The Accidental Preemption Statute: The Federal Arbitration Act And Displacement Of Agency Regulation, Maureen A. Weston

Arbitration Law Review

The Yearbook on Arbitration and Mediation’s 2013 Symposium focused on the role of the courts and judicial review in arbitration and mediation. Considering this question, this Article examines the command of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) for courts to enforce private agreements to arbitrate and to confirm arbitral awards as judgments subject to limited grounds for vacatur, as the public judicial system is invoked to revere private arbitration agreements and awards—at times at the expense of significant public policy challenges and the displacement of agency regulatory procedures specifically designed to address public policy concerns. In a series of decisions, …

Judicial Review: What Judges Write When They Write About Mediation, Jennifer W. Reynolds Jan 2013

Judicial Review: What Judges Write When They Write About Mediation, Jennifer W. Reynolds

Arbitration Law Review

Judges are uniquely positioned to comment on the phenomenon of court-connected mediation. Judges design and implement court systems with mediation components; they refer or order litigants into mediation; and they often serve as mediators themselves, either as part of their judicial duties or after retiring from the bench. Yet, ironically, there are few formal judicial opinions commenting on the procedural, ethical, and substantive issues around court-connected mediation today. When researching mediation, therefore, legal scholars who limit themselves to traditional legal sources will not have much to work with.

This Article identifies a new source of “judicial review” of mediation: judge-written …
