Biased? Prove It: Addressing Arbitrator Bias And The Merits Of Implementing Broad Disclosure Standards, Lindsay Melworm

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the varying disclosure requirements for arbitrators in the United States and internationally, focusing on the standards for determining when an arbitral award may be vacated due to arbitrator partiality or bias.

Vacating Legally-Erroneous Arbitration Awards, Stephen J. Ware

Arbitration Law Review (2009 - Present)

In the United States, arbitrators’ decisions are legally binding. Courts generally confirm and enforce, rather than vacate, arbitration awards. Suppose, however, that the arbitration award is very different from the judgment a court would have rendered had the dispute been litigated, rather than arbitrated. And suppose this is because the arbitrator did not correctly apply the law. If the party that lost in arbitration (the party that would have done better with a correct application of law) asks a court to vacate the award because it is legally erroneous, will the court vacate or confirm the award? And does the …

An Alternative Approach To Justice: The Past, Present, And Future Of The Mediation Program At The U.S. District Court For The Southern District Of New York, Rebecca Price

Arbitration Law Review (2009 - Present)

The practice of mediation has gone through enormous change in the last twenty-five years. No longer simply an "alternative," mediation has in some settings become commonplace. At the same time, many courts across the country struggle to maintain staffing and support for programs that offer alternatives for dispute resolution. While private mediation firms have seen an increase in cases, some academics and practitioners question whether mediation has been co-opted by a litigation model such that it no longer serves as a meaningful alternative.

Third-Party Mediation Of Interstate Conflicts: Actors, Strategies, Selection, And Bias, Scott Sigmund Gartner

Arbitration Law Review (2009 - Present)

While arbitration remains more common than mediation as an alternative to litigation in domestic legal disputes, the opposite occurs in resolving violent interstate conflicts, where third-party mediation represents the most frequently employed method of conflict resolution. In order to understand the similarities and differences between international and domestic mediation, this article identifies key attributes of international conflict management generally and third-party mediation of violent disputes specifically, and four critical patterns commonly found in third-party mediation of international conflicts. These patterns, each of which is illustrated with a vignette involving US foreign policy, include: 1) the complex role of mediator bias …

The Trouble With Categories: What Theory Can Teach Us About The Doctrine-Skills Divide, Linda H. Edwards

Scholarly Works

We might not need another article decrying the doctrine/skills dichotomy. That conversation seems increasingly old and tired. But like it or not, in conversations about the urgent need to reform legal education, the dichotomy’s entailments confront us at every turn. Is there something more to be said? Perhaps surprisingly, yes. We teach our students to examine language carefully, to question received categories, and to understand legal questions in light of their history and theory. Yet when we talk about the doctrine/skills divide, we seem to forget our own instruction.

This article does not exactly take sides in the typical skills …

Disaggregative Mechanisms: The New Frontier Of Mass-Claims Resolution Without Class Actions, Jaime Dodge

Scholarly Works

Aggregation has long been viewed as the primary if not sole vehicle for mass claims resolution. For a half-century, scholars have consistently viewed the consolidated litigation of similar claims through joinder, class actions and more recently multi-district litigation as the only mechanism for efficiently resolving mass claims. In this Article, I challenge that long-standing and fundamental conception. The Article seeks to reconceptualize our understanding of mass claims resolution, arguing that we are witnessing the birth of a second, unexplored branch of mass claims resolution mechanisms — which I term “disaggregative” dispute resolution systems because they lack the traditional aggregation of …

When The Price Of Settlement Is Ethically Prohibitive: Non-Disparagement Clauses That Apply To Lawyers, Elayne E. Greenberg

Faculty Publications

(Excerpt)

At last! You have lived with this case for many years, and you are now on the verge of finalizing the terms of a settlement agreement. All the contentious issues have finally been resolved, so you thought, when the defendant leans over the table and says, “Just one more thing. We want you and your client to sign a non-disparagement clause as part of the settlement.” Yes, non-disparagement clauses have been frequently used as a controversial reputational shield in high-conflict divorces, sensitive employee terminations and contentious consumer actions. However, barely discussed is whether lawyers are ethically able to suggest …

The Cheater’S “High”— Harmonize Ethics, Research And Negation Behavior, Elayne E. Greenberg

Faculty Publications

(Excerpt)

In the context of negotiations, how does “cheater’s high” influence our ethical behavior, decision-making and negotiation strategy? “Cheater’s high” is the term coined by behavioral ethics researchers to describe the positive feeling we experience when we cheat. Rather than feel guilty for these ethical transgressions as was previously believed, those who cheat actually experience a positive effect that further incentivizes the unethical behavior to continue. Even though some who are perched on their ivory tower may feel immune from “cheater’s high,” social scientists remind us that at times we all cheat to varying degrees. This cheating reality is problematic …
