Compulsory Alternative Dispute Resolution And Voluntarism: Two-Headed Monster Or Two Sides Of The Coin , Lucy V. Katz Jan 1993

Compulsory Alternative Dispute Resolution And Voluntarism: Two-Headed Monster Or Two Sides Of The Coin , Lucy V. Katz

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This Article broadly defines compulsory ADR3 to include any process in which the parties experience a lack of free choice about their participation, other than a civil or criminal trial with full due process protections. Thus, it includes not only court-ordered ADR4 (or alternatives mandated by statute), but also judicial mediation, settlement conferences, non-mandatory summary jury trials, and other techniques5 in which there is pressure on litigants to forgo trials, at least temporarily, and to utilize alternatives to bring about settlement.6


Prospects For Adr In Patent Disputes: An Empirical Assessment Of Attorneys' Attitudes, Thomas G. Field Jr., Michael Rose Jan 1992

Prospects For Adr In Patent Disputes: An Empirical Assessment Of Attorneys' Attitudes, Thomas G. Field Jr., Michael Rose

Law Faculty Scholarship

For the most part, parties with a legal dispute have either settled their differences or, when that wasn't possible, litigated them. However, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is increasingly urged as a supplement or substitute in a wide range of areas. ADR usually involves at least one third party who is employed by neither the judicial system nor one of the parties to the dispute. The third party may be a mediator, who helps the parties reach settlement, or an arbitrator, who renders a decision. While arbitration has been widely used for many years, until very recently, mediation (or conciliation) was …

The Represented Client In A Settlement Conference: The Lessons Of G. Heileman Brewing Co. V. Joseph Oat Corp., Leonard L. Riskin Jan 1991

The Represented Client In A Settlement Conference: The Lessons Of G. Heileman Brewing Co. V. Joseph Oat Corp., Leonard L. Riskin

UF Law Faculty Publications

This Article sets out various perspectives that litigants, lawyers and judges commonly bring to settlement conferences, perspectives on lawyer-client relations, negotiation, and the role of the judicial host. In examining the opinions in the Heileman case, along with other materials, the Article attempts to uncover the underlying assumptions about the settlement conference that informed the behavior of the judges and lawyers in that case, arguing that Heileman's explanation lies in the lawyers' and judges' tendency to embrace one of two radically different visions of the settlement conference. The Article then catalogs the advantages and disadvantages of involving clients in settlement …

Dispute Resolution: A Matrix Of Mechanisms, Nancy Neslund Jul 1990

Dispute Resolution: A Matrix Of Mechanisms, Nancy Neslund

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The purpose of this Article is to respond to the oft-repeated comment that, in spite of the massive attention various dispute resolution mechanisms have received in the last decade, theoretical research in the area has been woefully lacking.' This Article is not intended as a culmination of dispute resolution knowledge, but as a necessary first step, fabricating a structure of dispute resolution mechanisms on which later research, theoretical and empirical, can hang. The output of the Article is a suggested organization of the body of knowledge known as dispute resolution, or popularly-alternative dispute resolution or ADR, 2 into its three …


Consumer Problems And Adr: An Analysis Of The Federal Trade Commission-Ordered General Motors Mediation And Arbitration Program, Arthur Best Jul 1990

Consumer Problems And Adr: An Analysis Of The Federal Trade Commission-Ordered General Motors Mediation And Arbitration Program, Arthur Best

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This Article evaluates a controversial mediation and arbitration program established by General Motors (GM) for owners of certain cars. It began in 1984, under the terms of a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consent order settling charges that GM had deceptively failed to inform buyers that particular models of cars contained components that had unusually low durability. When the settlement was proposed, debate centered on whether the public interest would be served best by: 1) creation of mediation and arbitration opportunities for individual owners; or 2) prosecution of a single action seeking uniform compensation for all owners. One commissioner feared that …


Before The First Shot Is Fired: Hypothetical Use Of Alternative Dispute Resolution To Avoid A Re-Enactment Of The Hatfields And The Mccoys - Kirkham V. Wright, Christian C. Doherty, Christopher J. Moeller Jul 1990

Before The First Shot Is Fired: Hypothetical Use Of Alternative Dispute Resolution To Avoid A Re-Enactment Of The Hatfields And The Mccoys - Kirkham V. Wright, Christian C. Doherty, Christopher J. Moeller

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Kirkham v. Wright was chosen as the subject case because it represents the type of dispute that is extremely well suited to resolution through the ADR process. While some argument exists about the law in Kirkham,2 the bulk of the dispute revolves around the application of the law to the facts.' Furthermore, this case was eventually settled after remand,4 which leads to the conclusion that a settlement may have been possible earlier. Additionally, while the attorneys involved would not disclose the legal costs, it is a safe estimate that they ran into the tens of thousands of dollars.'

How Existing Procedures Shape Alternatives: The Case Of Grievance Mediation, Deborah M. Kolb Jan 1989

How Existing Procedures Shape Alternatives: The Case Of Grievance Mediation, Deborah M. Kolb

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Mediation is one of the oldest and most ubiquitous forms of conflict resolution in American society and throughout the world. Traditionally a prominent adjunct to labor and international negotiation, mediation is now used in divorce, family, civil, consumer, commercial and employee relations, environmental planning and siting, and the development of governmental procedures and regulations.' As mediation has penetrated into these new areas of social life, curiosity about the practice of mediation, that is, what mediators actually do to bring about settlement, has increased.


Applying Adr To Hospital Staff Privilege Disputes: A Prescription For The Future Of Health Care, Laurel E. Shealey Jan 1989

Applying Adr To Hospital Staff Privilege Disputes: A Prescription For The Future Of Health Care, Laurel E. Shealey

Journal of Dispute Resolution

In today's world of rising medical costs, hospital liability for staff negligence, and the uncertainty surrounding the viability of many medical procedures, hospitals are increasingly concerned with having competent doctors who can work effectively in a changing medical environment. In order to regulate staff quality, hospitals have broad discretion in granting, terminating, and reducing hospital staff privileges t


Teaching Mediation As A Lawyering Role Developments, Jacqueline Nolan-Haley Jan 1989

Teaching Mediation As A Lawyering Role Developments, Jacqueline Nolan-Haley

Faculty Scholarship

The growth of the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) movement has generated an increased interest in the study and practice of mediation as a nonadversarial method of conflict resolution. With mediation, individuals settle their disputes using a neutral third party who has no power to impose a settlement. Historically, mediation has been widely neglected in legal education, and-except for those involved in the labor field-lawyers have not practiced it. Recent gains in visibility have not necessarily resulted in widespread acceptance of mediation. In fact, mediation has even been openly resisted by some members of the legal profession.

Unions And Urinalysis, Deborah A. Schmedemann Jan 1988

Unions And Urinalysis, Deborah A. Schmedemann

Faculty Scholarship

Many private employers seem to be busy deciding whether and how to test employees for drug use. Presumably most of these decisions are made by management acting alone. However, in unionized workplaces—one out of five private sector employees are represented by unions—federal labor law prescribes a different method. That method features collective bargaining by unions and management to set the rules, the use of a private third-party neutral to resolve disputes which arise under those rules (arbitration), and relatively little involvement by the government (the National Labor Relations Board, legislatures, and the courts). This system that labor law prescribes for …

Bandwagon Is Rolling: Adr Demands And Thrives On Lawyers Creative Thinking, Christine D. Ver Ploeg Jan 1987

Bandwagon Is Rolling: Adr Demands And Thrives On Lawyers Creative Thinking, Christine D. Ver Ploeg

Faculty Scholarship

The ADR (alternative dispute resolution) bandwagon is rolling. Clients are becoming disenchanted with traditional litigation, and they're hearing about ADR. ADR has three broad categories: mediation, the mini-trial, and arbitration. Attorneys can provide a real service to clients by being familiar with and developing skills in ADR.

Reflections On The Adr Movement, Robben W. Fleming Jan 1986

Reflections On The Adr Movement, Robben W. Fleming

Cleveland State Law Review

ADR, the acronym that identifies the alternative dispute resolution movement, derives its current popularity from widespread dissatisfaction with the present system of justice. Thus, ADR both proposes and promotes "alternative" ways of dealing with disputes which would otherwise be the subject of litigation. In truth, there is nothing very new about the criticism directed at the legal profession, the courts, and the adjudicatory systems in general. The alternatives which have been suggested over the years are very similar. All of the alternatives lie along an axis which starts with efforts to bring about voluntary agreement by the parties and ends, …

Lessons From The Alternative Dispute Resolution Movement, Jethro K. Lieberman Jan 1986

Lessons From The Alternative Dispute Resolution Movement, Jethro K. Lieberman

Articles & Chapters

In less than a decade, alternative dispute resolution- ADR-has grown from a bravely-voiced hope to a congeries of practices animated by the desire to resolve legal battles outside the courtroom. ADR offers a way-station, or a series of them, between the probity of the adversary system and the flexibility of private negotiations. Though not without an ideology, ADR has never had a unified theory to explain what it accomplishes and how it works. But enough experience has accumulated by now to permit a search for a more analytical understanding of ADR and the lessons it might teach.


Defamation And Alternative Dispute Resolution: Healing The Sting, Robert M. Ackerman Jan 1986

Defamation And Alternative Dispute Resolution: Healing The Sting, Robert M. Ackerman

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This article will explore several mechanisms for the resolution of defamation cases. It will first review problems of substantive law which present obstacles to the fair and efficient resolution of these disputes. It will then explore some substantive law reform proposals which may expedite the fair and rational resolution of these disputes. Finally, the article will suggest some private dispute resolution processes which may advance the parties' goals, with or without substantive law reform. While a large number of defamation disputes involve non- media defendants, 9 the article will focus upon disputes involving news organizations. The article will also examine …
