Rhetoric And Reality In The Dispute Settlement Movement, Frederick E. Snyder Jan 1984

Rhetoric And Reality In The Dispute Settlement Movement, Frederick E. Snyder

Efforts to demystify and simplify the way disputes are settled in American society seem to have congealed into a nationwide movement within less than a decade: neighborhood justice centers, arbitration, divorce mediation, no-fault auto insurance, do-it-yourself probate, "plain English" land and rental agreements, government ombudsmen, consumer hot lines, community mediation of minor criminal cases. A growth industry, if there ever was one

Training Lawyers To Be More Effective Dispute Preventers And Dispute Settlers: Advocating For Non-Adversarial Skills, Paul L. Tractenberg Jan 1984

Training Lawyers To Be More Effective Dispute Preventers And Dispute Settlers: Advocating For Non-Adversarial Skills, Paul L. Tractenberg

Journal of Dispute Resolution

After briefly recounting some milestones in the history of legal education, and especially efforts to train lawyers in non-Langdellian techniques, I will explore re-orientation of lawyer training, first globally and then more specifically. Most of the ideas in this article are not new. Many of them date back 50 years and more. Articles by Llewellyn and Frank in the 1920's and 1930's could be reprinted with modest changes and seem totally relevant. 3 This in itself bears serious pondering. We do have the advantage of some relatively recent studies which, in the main, tend to support Llewellyn's and Frank's intuitions. …

Federal Preemption Of Arbitration - Southland Corp. V. Keating, Ronald A. Conway Jan 1984

Federal Preemption Of Arbitration - Southland Corp. V. Keating, Ronald A. Conway

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Arbitration agreements have traditionally been viewed with disfavor.2 Many states have refused to enforce arbitration clauses to the same extent as other agreements, either under the common law or by statute.8 This hostility towards arbitration agreements was the result of an attempt to preserve the courts' jurisdiction. Any agreement which deprived courts of jurisdiction was frowned upon.' The United States Supreme Court recently held that the Federal Arbitration Act5 (FAA) preempts state law and must be applied in state courts. This decision is in accord with a trend throughout the nation to make arbitration agreements specifically enforceable.6 The effect of …

Alternative Means Of Dispute Resolution: Practices And Possibilities In The Federal Government, William French Smith Jan 1984

Alternative Means Of Dispute Resolution: Practices And Possibilities In The Federal Government, William French Smith

Journal of Dispute Resolution

In the early nineteenth century Alexis de Tocqueville predicted that the law would become a secular religion in the United States, and that every important political question would be turned into a matter for law and litigation.' History once again has proven de Tocqueville's remarkable prescience. Over the past two decades, there has been a staggering increase in litigation.2 Americans now are filing more lawsuits than ever before, and are litigating a wide variety of disputes that previously had been resolved through other means.

Arbitral Decisions: A Social Science Analog, John E. Drotning, Bruce Fortado Jan 1984

Arbitral Decisions: A Social Science Analog, John E. Drotning, Bruce Fortado

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This paper develops the idea that arbitral decision making has an analog in social science research.1 It asserts that the hypothesis testing procedure in social sciences is directly analogous to the arbitral process. The research format of an economist, sociologist, or psychologist might be as follows: 1. Generate the null (H.) and alternate (H) hypotheses to be tested. 2. Collect reliable and valid data relative to the hypothesis. 3. Evaluate and analyze this data by subjecting it to statistical tests. 4. Arrive at conclusions by accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis after statistical testing. 5. Explain and discuss findings

Guideposts For An Institutional Framework Of Consensual Dispute Processing, John S. Murray Jan 1984

Guideposts For An Institutional Framework Of Consensual Dispute Processing, John S. Murray

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The purpose of this Article is to outline a set of characteristics which can serve as initial guideposts for the eventual development of a framework for a comprehensive institution to assist disputing parties in more effectively resolving their conflicts. Consensual dispute processing appears to be at the point in its growth where it needs to be liberated from its present "alternatives" status and allowed to mature as a separate, full-fledged institution.
