Mediation And Conciliation As Alternative Means Of Settleing International Disputes, Sompong Sucharitkul

Publications

An endeavour will be made in this article to present two distinct methods of international dispute settlement, namely, mediation and conciliation. The presentation will be done from an international and comparative standpoint, inevitably retaining an Asian perspective in its global survey. Observations will be concentrated on these two procedures for the resolution of international conflicts. In this chapter, the terms 'dispute' and 'conflict' are used interchangeably. So also are the terms 'settlement' and 'resolution'.

The Artist Is A Thief, Matthew Rimmer

Matthew Rimmer

Stephen Gray is a writer and law lecturer who has been living in Darwin since 1989.

Such work led him to further investigate the philosophical questions underlying the legal issues affecting both traditional and urban Indigenous people. Gray has also explored matters of bioprospecting in relation to Indigenous biological resources. He has investigated the introduction of a label of authenticity into Australia. Gray has also published a number of articles about other legal issues affecting Indigenous people. He has explored such topics …

Probability Neglect: Emotions, Worst Cases, And Law, Cass R. Sunstein

Coase-Sandor Working Paper Series in Law and Economics

When strong emotions are triggered by a risk, people show a remarkable tendency to neglect a small probability that the risk will actually come to fruition. Experimental evidence, involving electric shocks and arsenic, supports this claim, as does real-world evidence, involving responses to abandoned hazardous waste dumps, the pesticide Alar, and anthrax. The resulting “probability neglect” has many implications for law and policy. It suggests the need for institutional constraints on policies based on ungrounded fears; it also shows how government might effectively draw attention to risks that warrant special concern. Probability neglect helps to explain the enactment of certain …

Fitting A Square Peg Into A Round Hole: The Application Of Traditional Rules Of Law To Modern Technological Advancements In The Workplace, Gregory I. Rasin, Joseph P. Moan

Missouri Law Review

In the ever-changing technological environment, the transmission of information has become as simple and as quick as the click of a mouse or the touch of a button. However, the emergence and widespread use of computers, electronic mail, and the Internet in the workplace also has created challenges for employers, their attorneys, and the courts. Specifically, the courts are forced to apply traditional rules of law to modern technological advancements. The lack of symmetry between these two notions has created uncertainty for today’s employer. This Article discusses the impact of new technology on employment law, particularly in the areas of …

Of Artifical Intelligence And Legal Reasoning, Cass R. Sunstein

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Can computers, or artificial intelligence, reason by analogy? This essay urges that they cannot, because they are unable to engage in the crucial task of identifying the normative principle that links or separates cases. Current claims, about the ability of artificial intelligence to reason analogically, rest on an inadequate picture of what legal reasoning actually is. For the most part, artificial intelligence now operates as a kind of advanced version of LEXIS, offering research assistance rather than analogical reasoning. But this is a claim about current technology, not about inevitable limitations of artificial intelligence; things might change in the future.

John Wilkes And The Enlightenment, Stephen Carruthers

Masters

Based on the absence of a substantial political philosophy and a scandalous reputation, modern assessments of John Wilkes have tended to marginalise his role in the development of radical political ideas in England in the 1760s and 1770s. This evaluation is reassessed in the context of an analysis of Wilkes’s collaboration with Charles Churchill on the North Briton and his political writings of the period, in particular his Introduction to the History of England (1768). Furthermore, Wilkes enjoyed extensive and prolonged contact with the leading continental philosophers of the period, and in particular d’Holbach, Diderot, Suard, Helvétius, and Chastellux, which …
