Who Pays Arbitration Fees? The Unanswered Question In Circuit City Stores, Inc. V. Adams, Melissa G. Lamm

Campbell Law Review

As courts and administrative agencies are becoming busier and litigation more complex, many today see alternative dispute resolution, specifically arbitration, as a way to promptly and efficiently resolve disputes. Arbitration, especially in light of the recent United States Supreme Court decision in Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Adams, is becoming more common in employer-employee, business-customer, and business- business relationships. The Court held in Circuit City that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) applies to nearly all interstate employment relationships. The challenge before the courts now is determining who should bear the burden of paying for the arbitration of disputes.

Ignorance Of The Law: Should It Excuse Violations Of Certain Federal Restrictions On The Possession Of Firearms?, Thomas L. Fowler

Campbell Law Review

Are thousands of North Carolinians violating federal criminal law every day without knowing it even though such violations may subject them to imprisonment for up to ten years and a fine of up to $250,000? Ignorance of the law is generally held not to excuse criminal conduct, but can such ignorance ever be so reasonable and predictable as to constitute a legitimate excuse? Are some laws so obscure, technical, counter-intuitive, or hard to discover that ignorance of the law will be a defense?
