The Claims Of Two Gulfs, David D. Caron
The Claims Of Two Gulfs, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
Kenneth Feinberg, the "claims czar" for the BP catastrophe in the Gulf, reportedly looks to how to adapt his experience with the claims process he devised following the 9/11 attacks. Another mass claims process provides a more apt analogy, however: the very successful mass claims process following the 1991 Persian Gulf War oil well blowouts, fires and oil spills unleashed by then-president Saddam Hussein. In the wake of that disaster, then the largest oil spill in history, a claims commission processed claims from individuals and corporations and also public authorities regarding the environment and health. 19 years later, the experience …

A Call To Action: Turning The Golden State Into A Golden Opportunity For International Arbitration, David D. Caron, Leah D. Harhay
David D. Caron
This Article highlights the challenges facing California in its efforts to become a center of international arbitration, provides examples of legislation for the California Bar and California State Legislature to consider, and suggests various avenues by which to bring California more fully into the international legal community.

By Prohibiting Foreign Lawyers From Participating, California Is Missing Out, David D. Caron, Leah D. Harhay
David D. Caron
California Code of Civil Procedure §1282.4 and Local Rule 9.43 govern the ability of attorneys who are not members of the State Bar of California to act as counsel in international arbitrations here. Both allow out-of-state attorneys to participate in these arbitrations, but provide no similar provisions for out-of-country attorneys. However, even out-of-state attorneys are not safe. In 2011, when §1282.4 sunsets, out-of-state attorneys will also be barred from appearing as counsel in California-based international arbitrations.

The Oceans In The Nuclear Age, David D. Caron, Harry N. Scheiber

The nuclear age has many dimensions, the implications of which, seven decades later, are still unfolding. The oceans are not the focus of the nuclear age, but the affairs of the oceans are deeply woven into its history. This book considers how the nuclear age has affected the oceans and the legal regime of the oceans. The Law of the Sea of Institute undertook the Oceans in the Nuclear Age Project …
