A Call For Mediated Solutions To Arctic Region Disputes, Bradley L. Roth Jul 2011

A Call For Mediated Solutions To Arctic Region Disputes, Bradley L. Roth

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

It advocates for a worldcentric mediation approach, emphasizing global sustainability and fairness, to resolve these disputes effectively while addressing the region's ecological sensitivity and the long-term sustainability of the planet.

No Signature Needed: The Supreme Court Of California Settles Precedent And Furthers The Goals Of The Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act: Ruiz V. Podolsky, Meghan L. Travis

Journal of Dispute Resolution

In Ruiz v. Podolsky,2 the California Supreme Court ended the strife surrounding wrongful death claims when Rafael Ruiz (Ruiz), the decedent, executed a binding arbitration agreement.3 The court was able to soundly support its decision on applicable legislation, case law and public policy after weaving its way through a turbulent mish-mash of contradictory precedent. This note will discuss: (1) California's attempt to decrease the cost of medical malpractice claims, (2) the ramifications of Ruiz's allowing arbitration agreements to bind heirs, and (3) the differing approaches states have taken toward the application of binding arbitration agreements to beneficiaries

Part V will examine the current mediator trainings and qualification standards that are required in other selected …


Contract And Procedure, Peter B. Rutledge, Christopher R, Drahozal Jul 2011

Contract And Procedure, Peter B. Rutledge, Christopher R, Drahozal

Scholarly Works

This paper examines both the theoretical underpinnings and empirical picture of procedural contracts. Procedural contracts may be understood as contracts in which parties regulate not merely their commercial relations but also the procedures by which disputes over those relations will be resolved. Those procedural contracts regulate not simply the forum in which disputes will be resolved (arbitration vs litigation) but also the applicable procedural framework (discovery, class action waivers, remedies limitations, etc.). At a theoretical level, this paper explores both the limits on parties' ability to regulate procedure by contract (at issue in the Supreme Court's recent Rent-A-Center decision) and …


Pleading For Justice: The Availability Of Plea Bargaining As A Method Of Alternative Resolution At The International Criminal Court, Kate Kovarovic Jul 2011

Pleading For Justice: The Availability Of Plea Bargaining As A Method Of Alternative Resolution At The International Criminal Court, Kate Kovarovic

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This article serves to illustrate how the implementation of a plea bargaining process at the ICC would enable the Court to achieve both peace and justice. Part II begins by analyzing the history of plea bargaining in the international criminal arena, using the ICTY and the ICTR as models of the successful incorporation of plea bargaining into a court's adjudication process. Part III transfers these advantages to the ICC by examining how the plea bargaining process would advance the Court's goals of achieving peace and justice. Part IV moves from the theoretical to the practical by analyzing how the principles …


Are We Paper Tigers - The Limited Procedural Power Of Arbitrators Under Chinese Law, Chi Manjiao Jul 2011

Are We Paper Tigers - The Limited Procedural Power Of Arbitrators Under Chinese Law, Chi Manjiao

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This article explores the extent arbitrators exercise procedural power under Chinese law in six parts. Part II briefly provides background information for the legal framework of Chinese arbitration law and the "dual-track system" in the Chinese arbitration regime. The ensuing parts deal with the three major aspects of arbitrators' procedural power respectively: Part III discusses the power of making jurisdictional decisions, Part IV analyzes the power of making applicable law decisions, and Part V explores the power of issuing interim measures. Part VI concludes that in all three aspects, the procedural power of arbitrators under Chinese law is heavily restricted …

In The Shadow Of Soft Law: The Handling Of Corporate Social Responsibility Disputes Under The Oecd Guidelines For Multinational Enterprises, Leyla Davarnejad

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This socio-legal study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the various practices NCPs apply to solve CSR disputes during specific instances.

In Part IV, the empirical findings of this study are presented to illuminate how the soft law nature of the Guidelines shapes the NCPs' commitment and …


State Legislative Update , Benjamin Angulo, Daniel J. Romine, Matthew Schacht Jul 2011

State Legislative Update , Benjamin Angulo, Daniel J. Romine, Matthew Schacht

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This analysis will examine the sample of bills in four parts. Because some of the proposed state bills are silent on whether their respective bills are reserved for non-commercial matters, Part II examines whether the bills apply to businesses that are parties to business-to-business international commercial contracts. Part III assesses the bills' definition of foreign law to better understand the scope of the anti-foreign law bans. Because each anti-foreign law bill initially defines foreign law as one that is created outside the U.S., Part III analyzes whether the bills' foreign law definitions include international organizations and tribunals. It is important …


Foreigners Beware: Exploring The Tension Between Saudi Arabian And Western International Commercial Arbitration Practices: In Re Aramco Services Co., Whitney Hampton Jul 2011

Foreigners Beware: Exploring The Tension Between Saudi Arabian And Western International Commercial Arbitration Practices: In Re Aramco Services Co., Whitney Hampton

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Increasing globalization in the Middle East has resulted in greater commercial interaction between Saudi Arabia and the West. This, in turn, has led to a resurgence of international arbitration agreements between Saudi Arabian businesses and their Western counterparts. However, the strong religious undertones in Saudi Arabian law have given rise to tension with the West, and the United States, in particular. In re Aramco Services is but a tiny piece in a very large puzzle. While the opinion is short, it serves as an indication, or perhaps a reminder, of the larger implications at work. This note will discuss these …

Consent Is The Key To Compel: The Eighth Circuit Properly Denies A Motion To Compel A Non-Signatory To Arbitrate United States Court Of Appeals, Eighth Circuit: Bank Of America V. Umb Financial Services, Tom Swoboda

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This Note addresses a recent Eighth Circuit decision concerning the issue of whether or not to compel arbitration between a non-signatory plaintiff and a defendant who desires to arbitrate the plaintiff's claims.' After examining a recent Supreme Court decision in which the Court articulated certain principles of state contract law that allow a court to compel arbitration by or against nonparties to a contract, this Note will explore precedent in Missouri that demonstrates a stringent process in order to compel non-signatories to arbitration. The various federal circuit court treatments of this commonly litigated issue and its underlying split on the …
