Using Adr Principles To Resolve Environmental Disputes: How Mediated Settlements Have Helped Struggling Cercla Survive , Jamie R. Adams

Resolving Conflicts Over Climate Change Solutions: Making The Case For Mediation , Alana Knaster
Resolving Conflicts Over Climate Change Solutions: Making The Case For Mediation , Alana Knaster
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
This article explores the role that mediation can play in resolving the conflicts that are emerging in the climate change arena. Case studies describing mediation of disputes over air quality standards, timber harvesting, species protection, and ecosystems restoration, which resulted in consensus agreements among multiple, diverse stakeholder groups, demonstrate its applicability to the climate change arena. Mediation is not suited to every dispute or set of disputants. However, an analysis of the opportunities and constraints for addressing climate change disputes at the state, regional, and local levels suggests that mediated negotiations is well suited for resolving a number of the …

Getting The Green Light For Senate Bill 375: Public Engagement For Climate-Friendly Land Use In California, Greg Greenway
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Signed into law in September 2008, California's Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) is the first statewide legislation in the nation to link transportation and land use planning to climate change. The law is lengthy and complex, but the central concept is simple: locate homes closer to jobs, services, and transit so that Californians drive less frequently, travel shorter distances, and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This article examines the approach to public participation outlined in SB 375, and argues that a critical success factor is the design and execution of strategies by local governments to engage citizens in the …

South Pasadena: A Dialogue On Dialogue, Steve Zikman
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
In the last half century, South Pasadena has fought many land use related battles-from efforts to stop the extension of the 710 freeway (710) through the heart of the city, to the recent ballot measure (Measure SP) that sought to overturn the City Council's approval of the new Downtown Revitalization Plan. The pattern of engagement continues to be one of "us versus them," with locals assuming extremely polarized positions, escalating the level of mistrust and demonization, and further dividing the city's civic and social fabric. Mediators are typically called in to help stakeholders resolve specific land use conflicts. However, there …
