Promise And Peril: Doctrinally Permissible Options For Calibrating Procedures Through Contract,, Henry Allen Blair
Faculty Scholarship
For a long time, arbitration was the only game in town for parties who wanted more flexibility in the adjudication of their disputes. They faced a dichotomous choice between accepting the public court system and its attendant procedural rules or opting out entirely and resolving their disputes in arbitration. Private process, however, "has migrated in surprising ways into the public courts: despite public rules of procedure, judicial decisions increasingly are based on rules of procedure drafted by the parties . . . ." This sort of private procedural ordering gives parties the ability to unbundle the off-the-rack procedures applied in …

Medical Malpractice Arbitration: Not Business As Usual, David Larson, David Dahl
Medical Malpractice Arbitration: Not Business As Usual, David Larson, David Dahl
Faculty Scholarship
There is an interesting exception to businesses’, employers’, and service providers’ seemingly universal embrace of arbitration processes, particularly mandatory pre-dispute arbitration.

Faculty Scholarship
Increasingly, clinicians and commentators have been calling for the establishment of special adjudicatory dispute resolution mechanisms to resolve intractable medical futility disputes.

In this article, I provide a complete and thorough review of the purpose, history, and operation of TADA.

Variations On A Theme By Sander: Does A Mediator Have A Philosophical Map?, Sharon Press, Joseph B. Stulberg
Faculty Scholarship
Can a mediator play a constructive role in helping citizens confront and resolve the most divisive issues of our times? We believe the answer is affirmative, but we worry that such a view, though richly grounded in our historical tradition, is now neither widely endorsed nor effectively implemented.
We belong to a group of dispute resolution professionals who learned both from mentors and experience that ADR—and mediation, in particular-offers a philosophical map for conducting problem—solving activities among fellow citizens that systematically supports and advances our most noble aspirations for a fair society. Be it the urban riots of the 1960s …
