Whose Regulatory Interests? Outsourcing The Treaty Function, Stephen B. Burbank
Whose Regulatory Interests? Outsourcing The Treaty Function, Stephen B. Burbank
All Faculty Scholarship
In this article I describe the status quo in the area of foreign judgment recognition, with attention to the tension between domestic interests and international cooperation. Precisely because the future of the status quo is in doubt, I then consider current proposals for change, particularly the effort to implement the Hague Choice of Court Convention in the United States. Prominent among the normative questions raised by my account is whose interests, in addition to the litigants’ interests, are at stake – those of the United States, those of the several states, or those of interest groups waving a federal or …

Killing Them With Kindness: Examining "Consumer-Friendly" Arbitration Clauses After At&T Mobility V. Concepcion, Myriam E. Gilles
Articles
The article focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court case AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, in which California's "Discover Bank rule" was struck by the Court under the Federal Arbitration Act, which was upheld by the California Supreme Court in the court case Discover Bank v. Superior Court. It provides information that the rule is a judge-made rule which depicts that class action waivers are unforceable in arbitration agreements if such agreements are mentioned in standard form consumer contracts.

Recourse Against An International Arbitration Award Made In Singapore, Darius Chan
Recourse Against An International Arbitration Award Made In Singapore, Darius Chan
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In Astro Nusantara International BV v PT Ayunda Prima Mitra [2012] SGHC 212, the Singapore High Court set out the available recourse against an international arbitration award made in Singapore. This case has significant implications for Singapore as a seat of arbitration, and this note contrasts the position between Singapore and Hong Kong against the backdrop of this case. In October 2008, after a failed joint venture, the Claimants, which belonged to the Astro group of companies of Malaysia, commenced arbitration in Singapore against the Respondents, which belonged to the Lippo group of companies of Indonesia. In May 2009, the …

Opting Out Of The Procedural Morass: A Solution To The Class Arbitration Problem, Emanwel J. Turnbull
Opting Out Of The Procedural Morass: A Solution To The Class Arbitration Problem, Emanwel J. Turnbull
Emanwel J Turnbull
American class actions are internationally regarded as a procedural form to avoid and widely criticized in the United States. They have been narrowed and restricted by U.S. statutes and case law. Plaintiffs' lawyers in consumer class actions are portrayed as greedy and fraudulent, while businesses are increasingly acting to avoid class actions through mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clauses. Even class arbitration is criticized as leading to a “procedural morass.” This Article proposes that parties and arbitral fora opt out of the American procedural morass (and the attendant long-running disputes about American class actions) by adopting an English procedural rule for aggregation. …

Mandatory Predispute Consumer Arbitration, Structural Bias, And Incentivizing Procedural Safeguards, Nancy A. Welsh
Mandatory Predispute Consumer Arbitration, Structural Bias, And Incentivizing Procedural Safeguards, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
Within the past several decades, there has been an explosion in the creation, institutionalization and use of “alternative” dispute resolution procedures. Mandatory predispute arbitration has generated the most controversy because it appears beset with structural bias. The recent cases of AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion and Compucredit Corp. v. Greenwood have raised additional concerns as the Supreme Court has announced that corporations can force consumers to arbitrate their private and statutory claims and give up their rights to pursue class relief. This Article begins by arguing that the Supreme Court’s enthusiastic embrace of mandatory predispute arbitration should be understood primarily …
Empowering Settlors: How Proper Language Can Increase The Enforceability Of A Mandatory Arbitration Provision In A Trust, S. I. Strong
Empowering Settlors: How Proper Language Can Increase The Enforceability Of A Mandatory Arbitration Provision In A Trust, S. I. Strong
Faculty Publications
With hostile trust litigation reaching epidemic proportions, many people within the trust industry are interested in identifying new and less expensive ways to resolve trust-related disputes. Arbitration is often proposed as a possible alternative, although questions exist about whether and to what extent a mandatory arbitration provision found in a trust will be considered enforceable by a court. Up until now, most commentary in this area of law has focused on purely jurisprudential issues, with little attention being paid to the practical efforts that settlors can make to increase the enforceability of arbitration provisions found in trusts. This Article takes …

Do Investment Treaties Prescribe A Deferential Standard Of Review, Anna T. Katselas
Do Investment Treaties Prescribe A Deferential Standard Of Review, Anna T. Katselas
Michigan Journal of International Law
The dramatic rise in foreign investment in recent decades has brought with it a corresponding increase in the number of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and, in turn, the number of international investment disputes arising under those treaties. Investment treaty arbitration is the predominant method used to settle those disputes and has certain advantages for both foreign investors and host states compared to available alternatives, but it can tread on delicate issues typically within the domaine rieservd of states. The concern about due regard for sovereign interests in this context is far from purely academic. In the past twenty years, the …
Promises And Problems In Alternative Dispute Resolution For The Elderly, Kevin Gibson
Promises And Problems In Alternative Dispute Resolution For The Elderly, Kevin Gibson
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Gibson describes several different practices which fall under the umbrella of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including arbitration, mediation, and the role of an ombudsman. A comprehensive discussion of the mediation process describes the techniques a mediator may employ to assist parties in resolving their disputes, and uses examples of applying such techniques in situations involving senior citizens or nursing home disputes.

Elder Mediation: Optimizing Major Family Transitions, Rikk Larsen, Crystal Thorpe
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article postulates that mediation may be an effective way for families to make difficult decisions on how to best care and provide for an elderly family member with declining abilities. Bringing all involved family members together and allowing all to be involved in the decision-making process invests each with a responsibility for decisions made from all the options available.

When can arbitration be compelled by a party who did not sign the agreement containing the arbitration provision? This question was raised recently in a well-publicized and ongoing San Francisco Superior Court lawsuit alleging gender bias and discrimination at the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

Leveling Up To Immersive Dispute Resolution (Idr) In 3-D Virtual Worlds: Learning And Employing Key Idr Skills To Resolve In-World Developer-Participant Conflicts, Lucille M. Ponte
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
This article proposes a new conflict resolution approach called "immersive dispute resolution" (IDR) through the use of existing communication and graphical technology in 3-D virtual worlds as well as the collaborative and strategic thinking skills virtual world participants acquire in digital experiences. Specifically, this article begins by discussing research on learning in virtual worlds, with an emphasis on key collaborative conflict resolution skills accumulated through play in virtual environments. Next, this article discusses current dispute resolution processes available in certain 3-D worlds which fail to leverage the technology or collaborative skills available in these environments, and finishes with a call …

Resolving Mass Legal Disputes Through Class Arbitration: The United States And Canada Compared, S. I. Strong
Faculty Publications
This article compares three issues that have arisen as a result of recent Supreme Court decisions in both countries: the circumstances in which class arbitration is available; the procedures that must or may be used; and the nature of the right to proceed as a class. In so doing, the article not only offers valuable lessons to parties in the U.S. and Canada, but also provides observers from other countries with a useful framework for considering issues relating to the intersection between collective relief and arbitration.

Bit Unfair: An Illustration Of The Backlash Against International Arbitration In Latin America, A, David Ma
Journal of Dispute Resolution
With the survival of BITs at fulcrum, the Second Circuit recently decided a highly publicized and notorious case applying international arbitration in Chevron Corp. v. Republic of Ecuador. This comment will discuss Chevron and its effects within the wider corpus of BIT international arbitration to provide an illustration of the current debate and status of the BIT framework. The purported benefits BITs provide to signatory countries exist theoretically, and to test these theoretical underpinnings, this comment will discuss Chevron for the purpose of providing real context to a predominately academic debate. Chevron shall demonstrate that theoretical effects and practical effects …
The End Of An Error: Replacing "Manifest Disregard" With A New Framework For Reviewing Arbitration Awards, Kenneth R. Davis
The End Of An Error: Replacing "Manifest Disregard" With A New Framework For Reviewing Arbitration Awards, Kenneth R. Davis
Kenneth R. Davis
Abstract For over fifty years, the Supreme Court has declined to establish a standard of review for errors of law in arbitration awards. Decided in 1953, Wilko v. Swan confused the courts with a cryptic statement suggesting that a court could not vacate an award for errors “in the interpretations of the law by arbitrators” unless the arbitrator manifestly disregarded the law. Despite this statement’s ambiguity, the federal courts recognized the “manifest disregard” standard, which the courts interpreted to permit vacatur when the arbitrator knew the law and deliberately flouted it. Thirty-four years after Wilko, the Supreme Court in McMahon …
The Impact Of Case And Arbitrator Characteristics On Employment Arbitration Outcomes, Alexander Colvin, Kelly Pike
The Impact Of Case And Arbitrator Characteristics On Employment Arbitration Outcomes, Alexander Colvin, Kelly Pike
Alexander Colvin
[Excerpt] A major development in systems for the enforcement of individual employment rights is the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures to resolve claims by employees. At their best, ADR procedures may hold the potential for greater accessibility by employees to enforcement of substantive employment rights, while avoiding burdens of excessive costs for the public and employers in processing claims. On the other hand, ADR procedures, particularly mandatory employment arbitration procedures, have also been criticized for producing the privatization of justice and denial of effective enforcement of employee rights. In this paper, we present the results of a new …
Private Resolution Of Public Disputes: Employment, Arbitration, And The Statutory Cause Of Action, Griffin Toronjo Pivateau
Private Resolution Of Public Disputes: Employment, Arbitration, And The Statutory Cause Of Action, Griffin Toronjo Pivateau
Pace Law Review
In this Article, I argue that arbitration agreements fall somewhere along the middle of the rights/contract continuum. My understanding of the nature of arbitration agreements relies on a previously existing area of employment law. There is a particular aspect of the employment relationship that, while open to contract, remains subject to constraints imposed by the law. A noncompete agreement permits an employee to contract with his employer to not work for a competitor following the termination of the employment relationship. This right to contract away the right to compete is, however, narrowly construed by the court system. A court may …

An Empirical Study Of Employment Arbitration: Case Outcomes And Processes, Alexander Colvin
Alexander Colvin
Using data from reports filed by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) pursuant to California Code requirements, this article examines outcomes of employment arbitration. The study analyzes 3,945 arbitration cases, of which 1,213 were decided by an award after a hearing, filed and reaching disposition between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2007. This includes all the employment arbitration cases administered nationally by the AAA during this time period that derived from employer-promulgated arbitration procedures. Key findings include: (1) the employee win rate amongst the cases was 21.4%, which is lower than employee win rates reported in employment litigation trials; (2) …

Doping Control, Mandatory Arbitration, And Process Dangers For Accused Athletes In International Sports , Maureen A. Weston
Maureen A Weston
Athletes in a professional sports league in the United States are members of players unions, which assist their athletes in obtaining representation when they are involved in dispute resolution proceedings associated with disciplinary actions. However, individual athletes who participate in international competitions do not enjoy the same benefits. When these athletes are required to submit to mandatory drug testing, with attendant potential criminal liability, and to mandatory arbitration, they should be provided meaningful access to competent legal representation when their athletic careers are in jeopardy. This article considers the legal framework, process, and recourse for athletes in international competition to …
