The Good, The Bad, And The Frivolous Case: An Essay On Probability And Rule 11, Charles M. Yablon
The Good, The Bad, And The Frivolous Case: An Essay On Probability And Rule 11, Charles M. Yablon
Articles
This essay begins by asking why lawyers bring frivolous cases, cases which, under the standard definitions of frivolousness, have no chance of success and should never have been brought. Rejecting the usual answers of lawyer stupidity and greed, it offers a different view of the frivolous case --that most of the cases that have been challenged and sanctioned in recent years under Rule 11 were brought by lawyers bringing cases they reasonably believed had a low (but not zero) probability of success. This provides a more plausible explanation for wy lawyers persist in bringing such cases, since they are essentially …
Text, Purpose, Capacity And Albertson's: A Response To Professor Geier, Edward A. Zelinsky
Text, Purpose, Capacity And Albertson's: A Response To Professor Geier, Edward A. Zelinsky
Articles
In a recent issue of the Florida Tar Review, Professor Deborah Geier added yet another chapter to the running commentary on the Albertson's litigation, using that case to demonstrate her theories of statutory purpose and to criticize, in particular, statutory textualism as she conceives of it. Professor Geier correctly identifies the underlying issues in Albertson's-the role of statutory purpose, the differing institutional capacities of the Congress and the courts, fidelity to statutory text-but resolves those issues in ways that prompt me to rebuttal.
While I commend Professor Geier for her effort to explicate many important questions about the Code and …

"Evaluative" Mediation Is An Oxymoron, Kimberlee K. Kovach, Lela P. Love
"Evaluative" Mediation Is An Oxymoron, Kimberlee K. Kovach, Lela P. Love
Articles
An essential characteristic of mediation is facilitated negotiation wherein the mediator remains neutral throughout the process. Inconsistent with this role is an evaluative mediator who assesses the strengths and weaknesses of legal claims, proposes settlement terms, pushes parties to accept a particular settlement, and predicts court outcomes or the impact of not settling. A mediator’s assessment invariably favors one side over the other and jeopardizes neutrality. This article argues that mediation should stand as a distinct and clear-cut alternative to the evaluative and frequently highly-adversarial adjudicatory processes and that mediators should not evaluate.

"Do Justice!": Variations Of A Thrice-Told Tale, Michael Herz
"Do Justice!": Variations Of A Thrice-Told Tale, Michael Herz
Articles
Although recent debates would suggest that narrative scholarship is brand new,4 lawyers, judges, and law professors, like all humankind, have always offered stories for illustration or support or to make a point in an indirect, and often more effective, way. Learned Hand's story about telling Justice Holmes to "do justice" is one widely-used example, offered by many writers in addition to Judge Bork and Professor Chayes. Its popularity is easy to understand. The story has a substantive message, pithily expressed, on a basic jurisprudential issue; it involves two members of the pantheon; and it crams a lot of human interest …
