The Thinning Vision Of Self-Determination In Court-Connected Mediation: The Inevitable Price Of Institutionalization?, Nancy A. Welsh
The Thinning Vision Of Self-Determination In Court-Connected Mediation: The Inevitable Price Of Institutionalization?, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
Ethical codes for mediators describe party self-determination as “the fundamental principle of mediation,” regardless of the context within which the mediation is occurring. The definition of self-determination, however, is a matter of dispute. Based on a review of the debate surrounding the promulgation and revision of ethical codes for court-connected mediators in Florida and Minnesota, this Article demonstrates that a vision of self-determination anchored in party-centered empowerment is yielding to a vision that is more reflective of the norms and traditional practices of lawyers and judges, as well as the courts’ strong orientation to efficiency and closure of cases through …
All In The Family: Darwin And The Evolution Of Mediation, Nancy A. Welsh
All In The Family: Darwin And The Evolution Of Mediation, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
Maybe I’ve been thinking about evolution more than is normal for the average lawyer. I have a 5-year-old son who is fascinated by every species of dinosaur. As a result, I read to my son nearly every night about the events and the evolving cast of creatures that populated the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Since the Triassic period began 240 million years ago, this provides a real sense of perspective.
I wonder how Charles Darwin would use his theory of evolution to explain the many strange and wonderful variations of mediation that have flowered in the past decade. And …
Making Deals In Court-Connected Mediation: What's Justice Got To Do With It?, Nancy A. Welsh
Making Deals In Court-Connected Mediation: What's Justice Got To Do With It?, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
When mediation was first introduced to the courts, the process was hailed as “alternative.” Mediation gave disputants the opportunity to discuss and resolve their dispute themselves; the role of the third party was to facilitate the disputants’ negotiations, not to dictate the outcome; and because the disputants were able to focus on their underlying interests in mediation, the process could result in creative, customized solutions. The picture of mediation is changing, however, as the process settles into its role as a tool for the resolution of personal injury, contract, and other nonfamily cases on the courts’ civil dockets. Attorneys dominate …
Why Courts Review Arbitral Awards, William W. Park
Why Courts Review Arbitral Awards, William W. Park
Faculty Scholarship
Judicial review of arbitral awards constitutes a form of risk management. In most countries courts may vacate decisions of perverse arbitrators who have ignored basic procedural fairness, as well as those of alleged arbitrators who have attempted to resolve matters never properly submitted to their jurisdiction. In some countries judges may also correct legal error or monitor an award's consistency with public policy.
Public scrutiny of arbitration is inevitable at the time of award recognition. Judges can hardly ignore the basic fairness of an arbitral proceeding when asked to give an award res judicata effect by seizing assets or staying …
1977 Code Of Ethics For Arbitrators: An Outside Perspective, The Symposium: Ethics In A World Of Mandatory Arbitration, John D. Feerick
1977 Code Of Ethics For Arbitrators: An Outside Perspective, The Symposium: Ethics In A World Of Mandatory Arbitration, John D. Feerick
Faculty Scholarship
If ADR is to remain a vibrant part of the judicial landscape, it is essential that efforts further shape ethical standards and guidelines, as well as their practical connotations. The framers of the United States Constitution were very careful to establish a public justice system comprised of judges and juries operating within a framework of standards and protections designed to assure justice and fairness while simultaneously promoting public confidence. We should give similar care to developing processes through which we purportedly intend to accomplish similar objectives in resolving disputes and controversies. At the very least, the private nature of these …

The Effects Of Mediation In A Juvenile Incarceration Facility: Reduction Of Violence Through Transformation, Linda H. Morton, Floralynn Einesman
Faculty Scholarship
Using Bush and Folger’s transformative framework and psychological theory, the authors posit that mediation can play a role in changing the behavior of incarcerated juveniles by its focus on empathy and self-empowerment. After a brief description of their mediation clinic in Juvenile Hall, the authors assess the effects of the clinic in transforming its participants through data gathered.
