Drafting Mediated Agreements In Summary Process, Alan Minuskin
Drafting Mediated Agreements In Summary Process, Alan Minuskin
Alan D. Minuskin
Mediating landlord-tenant disputes is challenging work, but because of the inherent complexity of the law, particularly procedural requirements, the drafting of a mediated agreement demands both legal and verbal agility. The consequence of mistakes is the unraveling of a carefully constructed accord. Technique that takes into consideration both legal requirements and human behavior is necessary to prevent further disputes.
Climate Change And The Public Law Model Of Torts: Reinvigorating Judicial Restraint Doctrines, Donald G. Gifford
Climate Change And The Public Law Model Of Torts: Reinvigorating Judicial Restraint Doctrines, Donald G. Gifford
Donald G Gifford
The Article traces the origins of climate change litigation back to earlier forms of “public interest tort litigation,” including government actions against the manufacturers of cigarettes, handguns and lead pigment. Public interest tort litigation is different in kind from traditional tort actions, even asbestos and other mass products litigation. These new lawsuits address society-wide or even worldwide problems and seek judicially imposed regulatory regimes. As such, they more closely resemble civil rights litigation and what Abram Chayes deemed “the public law model” than they do earlier tort actions. I conclude that the public law model of tort litigation is the …

The Law Of Surrogacy, Alan Minuskin
Alan D. Minuskin
Professionals who work with elders, as well as elders themselves, need to know fundamentally what devices are available under local law to help protect and advance the rights of a potentially unavailable or incapacitated person. The law on these matters is clear, but the ethical implications are messy.
Challenges In Mediating Landlord-Tenant Disputes, Alan Minuskin
Challenges In Mediating Landlord-Tenant Disputes, Alan Minuskin
Alan D. Minuskin
Mediating landlord-tenant disputes presents many of the same mixture of interpersonal, legal, factual, strategic, and ethical dimension as other community-leve disputes, like family and employment mediation. The law is complex, the relationships between the parties are ongoing and may survive the dispute. A special skill set is needed to perform this work effectively.

Rough Justice, Alexandra Lahav
Rough Justice, Alexandra Lahav
Alexandra D. Lahav
This Essay offers a new justification for rough justice. Rough justice, as I use the term here, is the attempt to resolve large numbers of cases by using statistical methods to give plaintiffs a justifiable amount of recovery. It replaces the trial, which most consider the ideal process for assigning value to cases. Ordinarily rough justice is justified on utilitarian grounds. But rough justice is not only efficient, it is also fair. In fact, even though individual litigation is often held out as the sine qua non of process, rough justice does a better job at obtaining fair results for …
Antitrust, Class Certification, And The Politics Of Procedure, Joshua P. Davis, Eric L. Cramer
Antitrust, Class Certification, And The Politics Of Procedure, Joshua P. Davis, Eric L. Cramer
Joshua P. Davis
This Article develops two arguments against a possible trend in federal appellate courts toward imposing a new, heightened standard for class certification in antitrust cases. Recent case law can be read to imply that trial judges may make findings of fact on the merits in deciding class certification, including about whether plaintiffs will be able to show with class-wide evidence that every class member was harmed by allegedly anticompetitive conduct. The first argument is that the potential new standard would require a showing at class certification on an issue—whether all class members were injured—that plaintiffs need not, and typically do …

Régimen De Prisión Preventiva En América Latina: La Pena Anticipada, La Lógica Cautelar Y La Contrarreforma / Pre-Trial Detention Regime In Latin America: The Pre-Trial Punishment, Flight Risk And The Counter Reform, Claudio Fuentes Maureira
Claudio Fuentes Maureira
One of the main reasons that justified the criminal procedure reform in Latin America was the possibility to overcome and changed different practices that were very problematic. One of these complex situations was the excessive use of pre-trial detention in the context of criminal investigations; in particular, the abuse of this institution had a dangerous outcome when it comes to the protection of the human rights of the detainees.
From the mid 90’s onwards, most of the Latin American countries started a reform of their criminal institutions and proceedings. A considerable portion of the legal framework was heavily modified in …
