I Know It's Not My Problem... But It Happened On My Watch, Geoff Sharp
I Know It's Not My Problem... But It Happened On My Watch, Geoff Sharp
Geoff Sharp
It is at some risk that I set out to promote my expertise in the area of what to do when mediation ends in disagreement.
Nevertheless, I dread those times when the smell of napalm hangs in the air as the parties depart the room with their final exchanges of the ‘see you in court’ variety ringing in my ears.
To assist my investigation of what we do as mediators when destination Yes eludes us, I polled a number of experienced commercial mediators. I am indebted to my friends from Bond University in Queensland, Australia and colleagues from the International …
Desert Island Questions For Mediators, Geoff Sharp
Desert Island Questions For Mediators, Geoff Sharp
Geoff Sharp
When I was a wee lad, I drove others nuts by asking questions. They were, I am told, good open ones usually starting ".... but, why?"
As time passed, I grew into a know-it-all teen and forgot about asking questions, more intent on doing the telling. Now at age 40 and in my role as a commercial mediator, I seem to have come full circle and once again appreciate the value of the well-timed, well-constructed question aimed at the essence of a discussion.
So what are my all-time favourites? What questions do I ask that make people sit back in …

In Praise Of Joint Sessions, Geoff Sharp
In Praise Of Joint Sessions, Geoff Sharp
Geoff Sharp
This paper deals with the increasing trend amongst mediators to do away with a joint session (where the parties meet face-to-face) at mediation in favour of meeting with the parties privately and adopting a shuttle mediation model.
This is an especially topical debate amongst mediators with some advocating that a purely private session or caucus model of mediation where the parties never meet saves time and is what the market now requires. This compares with other mediators resisting the demise of the joint session, saying it is at the heart of what mediators do and of what mediation is.

Recent Private International Law Developments Before The Supreme Court Of Canada, Antonin I. Pribetic
Recent Private International Law Developments Before The Supreme Court Of Canada, Antonin I. Pribetic
Antonin I. Pribetic
A trilogy of interesting cases involving private international law recently wended their way to the Supreme Court of Canada: (1) King v. Drabinsky (an Ontario case addressing the applicability of the Charter in respect of the enforcement of a foreign judgment); (2) Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. v. Lloyd's Underwriters (a British Columbia case involving declaratory relief in the context of parallel proceedings and forum non conveniens); and (3) Yugraneft v. Rexx Management Corporation (an Alberta case which affirmed that the two-year limitation period under s.3 of Alberta's Limitations Act, governs when a party seeks the recognition and enforcement in Alberta …

Brief For Nicholas Deb. Katzenbach Et Al. As Amici Curiae, Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 V. Holder, Samuel R. Bagenstos
Samuel R Bagenstos
Along with three lawyers from Arnold & Porter, I filed this brief on behalf of former Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, four former Assistant Attorneys General for Civil Rights (two from Democratic administrations, two from Republican administrations) and two former senior career officials in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice. The brief defends the constitutionality of Congress's 2006 amendments to the Voting Rights Act.
Looking For Fair Use In The Dmca's Safety Dance, Ira Nathenson
Looking For Fair Use In The Dmca's Safety Dance, Ira Nathenson
Ira Steven Nathenson
Like a ballet, the notice-and-take-down provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") provide complex procedures to obtain take-downs of online infringement. Copyright owners send notices of infringement to service providers, who in turn remove claimed infringement in exchange for a statutory safe harbor from copyright liability. But like a dance meant for two, the DMCA is less effective in protecting the "third wheel," the users of internet services. Even Senator John McCain - who in 1998 voted for the DMCA - wrote in exasperation to YouTube after some of his presidential campaign videos were removed due to take-downs. McCain …

Recognition Of Overseas Same Sex Marriages: A Matter Of Equality And Sound Statutory Interpretation, Dr Leonardo J. Raznovich
Recognition Of Overseas Same Sex Marriages: A Matter Of Equality And Sound Statutory Interpretation, Dr Leonardo J. Raznovich
Dr Leonardo J Raznovich
It is accepted that the institution of marriage is more than economic benefits. The availability of marriage to same sex couples in eight western democratic jurisdictions exerts pressure on courts to consider the substance and ethical dimension of marriage across borders. This paper analyses the legal and ethical problems that exclusion of same sex couples from marriage generates in relation to equality and individual freedoms in a democratic society. The paper focuses on the particular case of overseas same sex married couples that seek to immigrate to England. Part I analyses the legal recognition of overseas same sex marriages under …
The Effects Of Liberalization On Litigation: Notes Toward A Theory In The Context Of Japan, Tom Ginsburg
The Effects Of Liberalization On Litigation: Notes Toward A Theory In The Context Of Japan, Tom Ginsburg
Tom Ginsburg
This Essay examines the under-studied relationship between liberalization and litigation. Liberalization should lead to expanded civil litigation for four reasons: (1) new market entrants are less subject to informal sanctions and may have a greater propensity to go to court; (2) privatization transfers resources away from the state, expanding the number of transactions subject to civil law regimes; (3) liberalization reduces the government’s ability to resolve disputes outside the courts; and (4) liberalization leads to economic development, which is generally litigation-enhancing. We test these propositions using a unique dataset of prefecture-level civil litigation data in Japan during the 1990s. Using …
Legal Storytelling: The Theory And The Practice - Reflective Writing Across The Curriculum, Nancy Levit
Legal Storytelling: The Theory And The Practice - Reflective Writing Across The Curriculum, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
This article concentrates on the theory of narrative or storytelling and addresses the reasons it is vital to encourage in law schools in non-clinical or primarily doctrinal courses. Section I traces the advent of storytelling in legal theory and practice: while lawyers have long recognized that part of their job is to tell their clients' stories, the legal academy was, for many years, resistant to narrative methodologies. Section II examines the current applications of Writing Across the Curriculum in law schools. Most exploratory writing tasks in law school come in clinical courses, although a few adventurous professors are adding reflective …
Theorizing And Litigating The Rights Of Sexual Minorities, Nancy Levit
Theorizing And Litigating The Rights Of Sexual Minorities, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
One of the best measures of a society is how it treats its vulnerable groups. A central idea in Professor Martha Nussbaum's writings is that all humans "are of equal dignity and worth, no matter where they are situated in society." The strategic challenge in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) rights litigation is how to get courts to see sexual minorities as people worthy of equal dignity and respect. This article focuses on the roles of a positive emotion - love - and a procedural method of proof - science - in the shaping of laws defining the rights …

填补权利保护的漏洞——法国行政诉讼临时处分制度的晚近发展 [Closing The Loophole In The Protection Of Rights: Recent Developments Of The Référé Procedures In French Administrative Litigation], Yanpu Zheng, Yongxi Chen
Clement Yongxi Chen
Référé, also known as summary interlocutory procedure, is an institution of provisional protection of rights established in French administrative litigation proceedings to reduce the gap between the jurisdictional remedies and the social demands. This article reviews the evolution of référé in French administrative litigation and introduces different categories of référé procedures as well as their functions respectively in the light of recent legislation and jurisprudence of the Conseil d’Etat, so that the reform of Chinese administrative litigation system may benefit from the French experience. In particular, this article studies in details the operation of two référé procedures that are most …

Reclaiming Minnesota's Territorial Birthright: Why The Northwest Ordinance Restricts The State's Power Of Eminent Domain To Public Exigencies, Nicholas C. Dranias
Nicholas C Dranias
This short paper explains why the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and the Minnesota state constitution should be read together “as one piece,” and how this reading warrants limiting the use of Minnesota’s power of eminent domain to circumstances of “public exigency.”
