The Mediation Meta-Model: The Realities Of Mediation Practice, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

In this article, I expand on the literature and present a meta-model for thinking about mediation practice. The Mediation Meta-Model is a structure for identifying different mediation approaches and how they relate to one other. It makes no claim to universal application. Rather, it offers a conceptual road-map for an increasingly complex and sophisticated array of practices which share the name mediation. The theoretical foundations and analysis for the Meta-Model have been included in previous work (2008).It is well known in Australian mediation circles that mediation practice does not always correspond to the dominant facilitative training model—even though, on the …

Delegation In Immigration Law, Eric A. Posner, Adam B. Cox

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Immigration law both screens migrants and regulates the behavior of migrants after they have arrived. Both activities are information-intensive because the migrant’s “type” and the migrant’s post-arrival activity are often forms of private information that are not immediately accessible to government agents. To overcome this information problem, the national government can delegate the screening and regulation functions. American immigration law, for example, delegates extensive authority to both private entities—paradigmatically, employers and families—and to the fifty states. From the government’s perspective, delegation carries with it benefits and costs. On the benefit side, agents frequently have easy access to information about the …

Comparative Constitutional Law: Introduction, Tom Ginsburg, Rosalind Dixon

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Comparative constitutional law is a newly energized field in the early 21st century. Never before has the field had such a broad range of interdisciplinary interest, with lawyers, political scientists, sociologists and even economists making contributions to our collective understanding of how constitutions are formed and how they operate. Never before has there been such demand from courts, lawyers and constitution-makers in a wide range of countries for comparative legal analysis. And never before has the field been so institutionalized, with new regional and international associations providing fora for the exchange of ideas and the organization of collaborative projects. This …

Assessing Post-Ada Employment: Some Econometric Evidence And Policy Considerations, John J. Donohue Iii, Michael Ashley Stein, Christopher L. Griffin Jr., Sascha Becker

Faculty Publications

This study looks at whether the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) helped or hurt job opportunities for people with disabilities. The researchers used long-term survey data following the same individuals from 1981 to 1996 to see changes in work hours, yearly pay, and hourly wages. For the larger group studied, employment for people with disabilities dropped after the ADA took effect, but their pay compared to other workers stayed about the same. For a smaller group of workers tracked every year, job levels did not show the same drop, though wages for people with disabilities were already falling …
