Court-Ordered Mediation In Family Disputes: The New York Proposal, Linda Silberman, Andrew Schepard
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
Marital and family disputes have been an important focus for alternative dispute resolution. Perhaps because divorce and custody disputes reveal the personal, human, and emotional aspects of conflict more visibly than other types of legal proceedings, attempts to resolve such disputes through the traditional legal process have proved remarkably ineffective. Mediation of divorce and custody matters is a particularly promising method of achieving more expeditious, less hostile, and more enduring matrimonial and custodial arrangements.
The mediation process offers to divorcing couples a neutral third party who will help the parties resolve their disputes. The mediator's function is to develop a …

Another Look: Trial Court Unification In California In The Post-Proposition 13 Era, Andrew Schepard
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
One of the most beneficial aftershocks of the Proposition 13 earthquake, which shook the fiscal foundations of state and local government in California, is a growing willingness to examine the structure of government from top to bottom to see if it is providing services efficiently and competently. The kind of searching reexamination of government operations called for in the aftermath of Proposition 13 must include a new look at an old idea in judicial administration-trial court unification. The purpose of this article is to take that look and to argue that a unified trial court system can best meet the …
