On Apology And Consilience, Erin Ann O'Hara, Douglas Yarn Oct 2002

On Apology And Consilience, Erin Ann O'Hara, Douglas Yarn

Washington Law Review

This Article joins the current debate about the proper relationship between apology and the law. Several states are considering legislation designed to shield apologies from the courtroom, and mediators are increasing their focus on the importance of apologies. The article develops an evolutionary economic analysis of apology that combines the tools of economics, game theory, and biology to more fully understand its role in dispute resolution. When the analysis is applied to the uses of apology before and at trial, a more sophisticated understanding of the relationship between apology and the law emerges.

Retaining Bargained-For Finality And Judicial Review In Labor Arbitration Decisions: Dual Interests Preserved In Major League Baseball Players Association V. Garvey - Major League Baseball Players Assn. V. Garvey, Emily J. Huitsing Jul 2002

Retaining Bargained-For Finality And Judicial Review In Labor Arbitration Decisions: Dual Interests Preserved In Major League Baseball Players Association V. Garvey - Major League Baseball Players Assn. V. Garvey, Emily J. Huitsing

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Arbitration has for years been the principal means of labor dispute resolution. As a part of labor contracts, workers agree to arbitrate disputes with their employers, bargaining for this forum as their choice method of dispute resolution. Occasionally, however, the decision of an arbitrator strays far from what a court believes the outcome of the dispute between employer and employee should be. In these cases, a conflict arises between the finality and stability of the bargained-for arbitrator's decision and the need for judicial upset of clearly errant arbitral decisions


Culture Change - A Tale Of Two Cities And Mandatory Court-Connected Mediation, Julie Macfarlane Jul 2002

Culture Change - A Tale Of Two Cities And Mandatory Court-Connected Mediation, Julie Macfarlane

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This is the first study to ask Canadian lawyers to describe in depth what they really think about mediation and the impact it has had on their litigation practices.'3 Their responses are rich, reflective and diverse. Many different understandings of mediation goals within litigation are present in the legal profession itself, and this lack of consensus is reflected in the results of this study. Before explaining the methodology of the study, it is useful to first set out its theoretical premises and to relate these to previous research on the legal profession which offer important insights relevant to the development …


Cookie Cutter Syndrome: Legal Reform Assistance Under Post-Communist Democratization Programs, The, Cynthia Alkon Jul 2002

Cookie Cutter Syndrome: Legal Reform Assistance Under Post-Communist Democratization Programs, The, Cynthia Alkon

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This article begins with a brief background of ADR, democratization programs, and legal reform programs. Section Three describes the Cookie Cutter Syndrome and examines the assumptions that shape legal reform efforts and that impact if and how ADR is used. Section Four examines how legal and judicial reform programs could look more broadly at using various forms of ADR to more effectively change the legal cultures in post-communist societies. The article concludes that legal reform assistance needs to further individualize programs for the conditions in specific countries, and that assistance programs should more fully integrate ADR. I do not recommend …


Does An Employee's Binding Arbitration Agreement Limit The Enforcement Of Powers Of The Eeoc: The Supreme Court Rules That It Does Not - Equal Employment Opportunity Comm. V. Waffle House, Adam W. Graves Jul 2002

Does An Employee's Binding Arbitration Agreement Limit The Enforcement Of Powers Of The Eeoc: The Supreme Court Rules That It Does Not - Equal Employment Opportunity Comm. V. Waffle House, Adam W. Graves

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The friction between the FAA and Title VII arises when an injured employee has signed an arbitration agreement with an employer and subsequently experiences discrimination in some fashion in the workplace. The FAA would require that the employee take the action to arbitration, whereas if the EEOC found probable cause, it could file in its own name and avoid the arbitration agreement. So, should the EEOC be allowed to recover on the behalf of an employee who has signed an arbitration agreement? A circuit split on this issue prompted the Supreme Court to grant certiorari in EEOC v. Waffle House."


Uniform Arbitration Act Update - Foreword, The, Timoth J. Heinsz Jul 2002

Uniform Arbitration Act Update - Foreword, The, Timoth J. Heinsz

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The standard for review of arbitrator awards remains a hotly litigated topic. Pelc v. Petoskey, Hough v. State Farm Insurance, and Hart v. McChristian are examples of the limited review even when arbitral awards are challenged for errors of law or of fact. The student project covers these and many other cases decided under the UAA. All attorneys handling cases under the UAA, scholars writing on issues relating to the Act, and judges determining cases involving the statute should consider this comprehensive and high quality case analysis.

Oh, Ye Of Little (Good) Faith: Questions, Concerns And Commentary On Efforts To Regulate Participant Conduct In Mediations, Roger L. Carter Jul 2002

Oh, Ye Of Little (Good) Faith: Questions, Concerns And Commentary On Efforts To Regulate Participant Conduct In Mediations, Roger L. Carter

Journal of Dispute Resolution

There are many types of mediation. This article focuses exclusively on mediations within Professor Lande's "liti-mediation culture" - those dealing with disputes that are or may become the subject of litigation. I address both court-connected and private mediations as I believe that the potential for bad faith exists in both. Following this Introduction, in Part II, I examine definitions of "good faith" in mediation, I then review commentary and case law on good faith requirements. In Part III, I argue that certain objectively determinable behavior ought to be proscribed. By contrast, some good faith standards adopted by courts or advocated …

To Sever Or To Destroy: The Eighth Circuit Allows Invalid Provisions To Be Served From Otherwise Enforceable Arbitration Agreements, Michael K. Daming

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") allows for arbitration to be a medium by which parties may settle disputes more expeditiously than litigation. The FAA declares specifically that written agreements to resolve disputes through arbitration are "valid, irrevocable, and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract.,' 2

Mediating Ethically: The Limits Of Codes Of Conduct And The Potential Of A Reflective Practice Model, Julie Macfarlane Jan 2002

Mediating Ethically: The Limits Of Codes Of Conduct And The Potential Of A Reflective Practice Model, Julie Macfarlane

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Discussions regarding the appropriate ethical behaviours for mediators and the subsequent development of formal codes of conduct have focused on hallmark issues such as third party impartiality and party self-determination. However, in an informal process, ethical choices are inherent in every intervention made by a mediator. In adopting the standard-setting approach of an adjudicative model, mediator codes of conduct are a poor fit with the conceptual and structural characteristics of this fluid, uncertain, and essentially private process. Confining the substantive and conceptual debate over mediation ethics to formal codes dangerously underestimates both the scope and the significance of choices faced …
