Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw, Innis Christie
Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
The Union alleges that the Employer designated certain wicket positions as "bilingual imperative" without regard to the staffing requirements of the Collective Agreement. The Employer claims that this action was required according to official recommendations by the Commissioner of Official Languages, acting under the Official Languages Act. Employees being promoted to, or transferred into, designated wicket positions must be bilingual. The Union argues that the Employer is bound to assign positions on the basis of seniority under the Collective Agreement. Their position is that the Commissioner's recommendations do not have the force of law and the Employer is able to …

Public Health And Safety Hazards Versus Confidentiality: Expanding The Mediation Door Of The Multi-Door Courthouse, Arlin R. Thrush
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The public's interest in and use of alternative forms of dispute resolution has been in existence for hundreds of years.2 However, today's rejuvenated interest in alternative forms of dispute resolution can be traced to the late sixties Since that time, alternative forms of dispute resolution have been labeled the wave of the future. The growth of alternative forms of dispute resolution can be seen in the tremendous increase in programs offering dispute resolution services. In 1980, there were approximately one hundred dispute resolution programs located throughout the United States. Today, there are over four hundred dispute resolution programs available to …
Public Employee Bargaining Rights: An Avenue For Success For The Majority Or A Trap For The Minority - Wrinkle V. International Union Of Operating Engineers, Local 2, Afl-Cio, Greg W. Pearman
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The rights of public employees are governed by state statute and the state or federal constitution.2 Wrinkle, a case of first impression in Missouri,3 presents the issue of whether a group of employees, constituting a minority of an existing bargaining unit, have the right to appeal a State Board of Mediation determination which prevented them from forming a separate bargaining unit.
Wisconsin's Court-Ordered Adr Law: Potential For Resolving Libel Disputes, Michael E. Weinzierl
Wisconsin's Court-Ordered Adr Law: Potential For Resolving Libel Disputes, Michael E. Weinzierl
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This Article argues that the Wisconsin Judicial Council's court-ordered ADR plan, which was adopted by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in December of 1993," will benefit libel litigants by giving them an alternative to the courtroom battle. The Article discusses the interests of the plaintiff and defendant in libel litigation and how ADR will benefit each, as well as critiques the structure of current libel law. The Article also analyzes other proposed alternatives to libel litigation and evaluates their effectiveness. The Article examines the efficiency and effectiveness of Florida's dispute resolution program, which provides settlement options similar to those found in …

Arbitration Or Stipulation: Playing Word Games In The Federal Courts - Ddi Seamless Cylinder Int'l V. Gen. Fire Extinguisher Corp., Jeffrey T. Davis
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In both its private and more recently, public (court-annexed) forms, arbitration has proven to be an effective tool in fighting the explosion of litigation. In certain contexts, however, some dispute has arisen as to who can actually be an arbitrator. DDI Seamless Cylinder provides an excellent example of this newly disputed area in the framework of the federal courts.

Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, Dawn Chapman, Carol Creamer, Cynthia Davenport, Tim Gorman
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, a project prepared annually since 1983, is a survey of recent court decisions that interpret state versions of the Uniform Arbitration Act ("U.A.A."). 3 Currently, thirty-four states and the District of Columbia have adopted arbitration statutes patterned after the U.A.A. 4 The purpose of this project is to promote uniformity in interpretation of the U.A.A. by explaining the underlying policies and rationales of recent court decisions.'

Finally, the fourth part will consider the effectiveness of the nursing home ombudsman as an alternative form of dispute resolution. In …
Court Lets Go Of The Reins: Runaway Escrow Agent Binds Principals To Arbitration Agreement - 99 Commercial Street, Inc. V. Goldberg, Karen E. Martin
Court Lets Go Of The Reins: Runaway Escrow Agent Binds Principals To Arbitration Agreement - 99 Commercial Street, Inc. V. Goldberg, Karen E. Martin
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Arbitration agreements are a step in the right direction for alternate dispute resolution. Obviously, before a court can grant a motion to compel arbitration pursuant to such an agreement, it must find that both parties are, indeed, bound by that agreement.' Although a traditional contract law analysis is ordinarily used to determine who is bound to a contract containing an arbitration provision, when an escrow agent acting on behalf of one party to a contract binds that party to an agreement to arbitrate, traditional contract law analysis must be altered to take into account the extent of an escrow agent's …
Union Walks In The Sixth: The Integrity Of Mandatory Non-Binding Grievance Procedures In Collective Bargaining Agreements - At & (And) T V. Communications Workers Of America, Afl-Cio, The, Mark Riley Kroeker
Journal of Dispute Resolution
There are many mechanisms short of industrial action which labor unions and employers use to resolve disputes. Anticipating conflict, but aiming to avoid industrial action, the two parties might place an arbitration agreement or other mandatory grievance adjustment procedure into their collective bargaining agreement. This agreement will reflect the parties' understanding as to how disputes are to be resolved. This Note examines the limited circumstances in which the federal courts will enjoin union protest activity carried out in violation of a collective bargaining agreement's provisions regarding dispute resolution. It focuses on the analytic inconsistency of the judicial refusal to enjoin …

This is the determination of an Arbitration Committee established to hear and determine whether or not the grounds for the President's recommendation for the dismissal of Lucinda Vandervort, a tenured Associate Professor, are established and, if established, whether or not they constitute good and sufficient cause for dismissal. The Committee has already issued an interim decision that, even if established, the grounds for the President's recommendation for dismissal do not constitute good and sufficient cause for dismissal and Professor Vandervort has been fully reinstated pending this determination. We advised the parties of our conclusion to that effect after the University …
Arbitration Awards In Shaff V. Skahill, Jacob Frumkin
Arbitration Awards In Shaff V. Skahill, Jacob Frumkin
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
In Shaff v. SkahilP the District of Columbia Court of Appeals held that arbitrators' awards may only be reviewed if the moving party alleges a violation of the District of Columbia Uniform Arbitration Act.2 From a policy perspective, this decision may be read as subverting the very objective it purports to support encouraging the use of arbitration.3 In brief, this decision may discourage homeowners from agreeing to arbitrate disputes and appears to penalize those who do. Furthermore, this decision may be read as weakening the Home Improvement Business Act4 by providing a loophole for unlicensed and unbonded de facto contractors. …

The Obligation To Negotiate In International Law: Rules And Realities, Martin A. Rogoff
The Obligation To Negotiate In International Law: Rules And Realities, Martin A. Rogoff
Michigan Journal of International Law
Considered in this article is the important question of whether the obligation to negotiate imposes an affirmative obligation on a state to seek actively negotiations with the other interested state or states before it can legally engage in certain activities, or whether the obligation to negotiate simply requires the state subject to the obligation to respond favorably when asked by the other state or states to enter into negotiations.

Cartesian Logic And Frontier Politics: French And American Concepts Of Arbitrability, Thomas E. Carbonneau, Francois Janson
Cartesian Logic And Frontier Politics: French And American Concepts Of Arbitrability, Thomas E. Carbonneau, Francois Janson
Journal Articles
This comparative essay represents an attempt to introduce a measure of counterpoise in a growing and much-heralded development in the world law of arbitration. Recent decisional law in the United States, France, and other countries have challenged the strategic significance of the concept of arbitrability in the legal regulation of arbitration. The essay seeks, first, to clarify the function of arbitrability in the law of arbitration and, second, to argue against its judicial deconstruction in either the international or domestic context. The key objective of the analysis is to demonstrate the vital role of demarcation that arbitrability plays between state …

What Happens When Mediation Is Institutionalized?: To The Parties, Practitioners And Host Institutions, Sharon Press
What Happens When Mediation Is Institutionalized?: To The Parties, Practitioners And Host Institutions, Sharon Press
Faculty Scholarship
The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Association of American Law Schools presented a program, at the 1994 AALS Conference, on the institutionalization of mediation – through court-connected programs and otherwise. The topic is an important one, because this phenomenon has become increasingly common. Moreover, the topic seemed especially appropriate for the 1994 program, since Florida – the host state for the conference – was one of the first states to adopt a comprehensive statute providing for court-ordered mediation (at the trial judge’s option) in civil disputes of all kinds. The move toward institutionalizing mediation has raised many questions, and …

Psychological Barriers To Litigation Settlement: An Experimental Approach, Chris Guthrie, Russell Korobkin
Psychological Barriers To Litigation Settlement: An Experimental Approach, Chris Guthrie, Russell Korobkin
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The traditional economic model of settlement breakdown -- as developed by Priest and Klein -- provides an important first step in understanding why some lawsuits settle and others go to trial. Rational miscalculation undoubtedly pushes some litigants into court who might otherwise reach out-of-court settlement. Absent miscalculation, however, some litigants still find themselves in court. We have presented experimental evidence suggesting that these litigants may proceed to trial because psychological barriers to value maximizing behavior impede their settlement efforts. Indeed, our research empirically grounds the hypothesis that psychological barriers are powerful causal agents of trials. The usefulness of this evidence …

This article reflects on a curiosity of modern life, in that it is a very preliminary comment on a kind of mediation that does not involve me moving beyond the desk where my computer is located. It is a mediator's parallel to armchair travelling, with the difference here being that the experience is not vicarious, though it is certainly remote.

Disputing Through Agents: Cooperation And Conflict Between Lawyers In Litigation, Ronald J. Gilson, Robert H. Mnookin
Faculty Scholarship
Do lawyers facilitate dispute resolution or do they instead exacerbate conflict and pose a barrier to the efficient resolution of disputes? A distinctive characteristic of our formal mechanisms of conflict resolution is that clients carry on their disputes through lawyers. Yet, at a time when the role of lawyers in dispute resolution has captured not only public but political attention, social scientists have remained largely uninterested in the influence of lawyers on the disputing process. This is not to say that academics have ignored the growth in civil litigation in the United States. Economists have developed an extensive literature that …
Opening Offers And Out-Of-Court Settlement: A Little Moderation May Not Go A Long Way, Chris Guthrie, Russell Korobkin
Opening Offers And Out-Of-Court Settlement: A Little Moderation May Not Go A Long Way, Chris Guthrie, Russell Korobkin
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
When two litigants resolve a dispute through out-of-court settlement rather than trial, they realize joint gains of trade equal to the sum of the costs both parties would have incurred had they obtained a trial judgment minus the costs they incur reaching settlement. This opportunity for mutual gain causes most civil lawsuits to settle out-of-court. Yet, in spite of the opportunity for joint gain, negotiations fail in a significant number of lawsuits. One reason for this surprising result is that even when joint gains are substantial and obvious to the litigants, they still must agree on a method of dividing …

Worms, Mice, Cows And Pigs: The Importance Of Animal Patents In Developing Countries, Elisabeth T. Jozwiak
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Transgenic animals play a large role in several critical industries: the pharmaceutical industry, the agricultural industry, farming, and medical research. As these biotechnology-oriented industries have grown, the United States and other industrialized nations have realized the importance of patent protection for genetically-engineered animals. Unfortunately, lesser-developed countries (LDCs), which can benefit the most from such industries, do not provide adequate patent protection for transgenic animals, even though patent protection for transgenic animals could ultimately lead to reduction in starvation and disease, two of the biggest problems facing many LDCs. The United States should pursue bilateral negotiations with developing countries in the …
