A Rational Choice Theory Of Supreme Court Statutory Decisions With Applications To The State Farm And Grove City Cases, Rafael Gely, Pablo T. Spiller
A Rational Choice Theory Of Supreme Court Statutory Decisions With Applications To The State Farm And Grove City Cases, Rafael Gely, Pablo T. Spiller
Faculty Publications
In this article we follow the recent developments of the modern theory of administrative agencies, by developing a rational choice theory of the Supreme Court. Our framework combines two of the main characteristics of this literature: namely, the rational choice modeling strategy with the notion that institutions matter in the design of public policy. We differ basically by modeling the Supreme Court as a self-interested, ideologically motivated institution, making its decisions subject not to the traditional legal rules of precedent, but to the constraints arising from the political interests of other institutions of government-namely, Congress and the President.

Enforcing International Arbitration Agreements - Marchetto V. Dekalb Genetics Corp., Karen L. Massey
Enforcing International Arbitration Agreements - Marchetto V. Dekalb Genetics Corp., Karen L. Massey
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The importance, magnitude and frequency of international business transactions have necessitated finding an acceptable method of resolving disputes arising from such transactions. Parties to international commercial transactions often come from nations with cultures and legal systems which are greatly diverse.2 Arbitration agreements in international commercial contracts are a preferred manner of resolving disputes.3 Arbitration is a method of providing orderliness and predictability in an area in which it is necessary, but often difficult to achieve.4 In order for the arbitration system to work, courts of law must be willing to relinquish their jurisdiction and allow the arbitration system to resolve …
Before The First Shot Is Fired: Hypothetical Use Of Alternative Dispute Resolution To Avoid A Re-Enactment Of The Hatfields And The Mccoys - Kirkham V. Wright, Christian C. Doherty, Christopher J. Moeller
Before The First Shot Is Fired: Hypothetical Use Of Alternative Dispute Resolution To Avoid A Re-Enactment Of The Hatfields And The Mccoys - Kirkham V. Wright, Christian C. Doherty, Christopher J. Moeller
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Kirkham v. Wright was chosen as the subject case because it represents the type of dispute that is extremely well suited to resolution through the ADR process. While some argument exists about the law in Kirkham,2 the bulk of the dispute revolves around the application of the law to the facts.' Furthermore, this case was eventually settled after remand,4 which leads to the conclusion that a settlement may have been possible earlier. Additionally, while the attorneys involved would not disclose the legal costs, it is a safe estimate that they ran into the tens of thousands of dollars.'
Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, Gregory K. Barnes, Cynthia R. Bradley-Bishop, Michele Carroll, Richard W. Fischer
Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, Gregory K. Barnes, Cynthia R. Bradley-Bishop, Michele Carroll, Richard W. Fischer
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Arbitration as a forum for dispute resolution has been a part of the American common law heritage for at least the past one hundred fifty years. However, until recently, state law was almost uniformly biased against arbitration.2 The theory at common law was that either party to an agreement to arbitrate future disputes could void the agreement at any time.3 This legal environment rendered the institution of arbitration impotent in any situation in which one of the parties decided that their interests would be better served if the dispute was resolved in a more traditional court setting
Consumer Problems And Adr: An Analysis Of The Federal Trade Commission-Ordered General Motors Mediation And Arbitration Program, Arthur Best
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This Article evaluates a controversial mediation and arbitration program established by General Motors (GM) for owners of certain cars. It began in 1984, under the terms of a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consent order settling charges that GM had deceptively failed to inform buyers that particular models of cars contained components that had unusually low durability. When the settlement was proposed, debate centered on whether the public interest would be served best by: 1) creation of mediation and arbitration opportunities for individual owners; or 2) prosecution of a single action seeking uniform compensation for all owners. One commissioner feared that …

Enforcing Forum-Selection Clauses: The Federal Court Dilemma And The Arbitration Clause Alternative, Lee R. Hardee
Enforcing Forum-Selection Clauses: The Federal Court Dilemma And The Arbitration Clause Alternative, Lee R. Hardee
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The inclusion of forum-selection' and arbitration clauses has become standard in commercial contracts throughout the United States.2 Parties choose to include these clauses for a variety of reasons: to provide a neutral or convenient forum, to reduce the risk of being sued in multiple forums where a party does business in many states,3 and in the case of arbitration clauses4 to avoid the high cost of litigation.'

ANATOMY OF MEDIATION is a case study of a contract dispute between an opera company and a musicians' union. The facilitated negotiations, which take place over ten days, are presented in the form of an annotated transcript which is introduced by a summary of the four primary purposes of the mediator 5 and the twenty-five topics which are used to accomplish these central purposes. The case study is presented and then dissected in detail in order to describe what the authors call the "keys to success".6 Finally, mini-case studies are used to portray a complex business dispute, a sexual harassment …

Mini-Trial: Misunderstanding And Miscommunication May Short-Circuit Its Effective Use In Settlements - Lightwave Technologies, Inc. V. Corning Glass Works, The, Annie Billings
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This Casenote will discuss the basic elements and appropriate uses of the mini-trial. It will also compare the mini-trial with other ADR processes and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using the mini-trial. Finally, this Casenote will analyze how the parties and their attorneys in the present case wrestled with an alleged agreement to settle their dispute through a mini-trial. Because one of the parties was never fully appraised of how the mini-trial would proceed, the process was aborted and settlement negotiations broke down.
Dispute Resolution: A Matrix Of Mechanisms, Nancy Neslund
Dispute Resolution: A Matrix Of Mechanisms, Nancy Neslund
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The purpose of this Article is to respond to the oft-repeated comment that, in spite of the massive attention various dispute resolution mechanisms have received in the last decade, theoretical research in the area has been woefully lacking.' This Article is not intended as a culmination of dispute resolution knowledge, but as a necessary first step, fabricating a structure of dispute resolution mechanisms on which later research, theoretical and empirical, can hang. The output of the Article is a suggested organization of the body of knowledge known as dispute resolution, or popularly-alternative dispute resolution or ADR, 2 into its three …
Mediator Accountability: Responding To Fairness Concerns, Judith L. Maute
Mediator Accountability: Responding To Fairness Concerns, Judith L. Maute
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Mediation and newer forms of dispute resolution provide much-needed options to the traditional litigation forum. The adversary process is too contentious, expensive and time-consuming for many disputes. Nevertheless, some thoughtful lawyers and legal scholars voice concern that mediation may cut short legal developments on important issues of public concern and reinforce existing power disparities between parties.' Traditional commitment to mediator neutrality may undermine protection of parties' legal rights.
