Defenses To Enforcement Of Foreign Arbitral Awards Under The United Nations Convention Of 1958 Focusing On Article V Of The Convention And Practice In U.S. Courts, U-Kyung Sung

LLM Theses and Essays

This LL.M. thesis analyzes the defenses available to parties resisting enforcement of foreign arbitral awards under the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbital Awards, with particular focus on Article V and its application in United States federal courts. The work examines each Article V(1) defense — including invalidity of the arbitration agreement, violation of due process, excess of arbitral authority, improper tribunal composition or procedure, and the non-binding, set aside, or suspended award defense — as well as the Article V(2) defenses of non-arbitrability and public policy. The work also addresses defenses based on reservations …

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 …

The Reception Of Arbitration In United States Law, Thomas E. Carbonneau Jan 1988

The Reception Of Arbitration In United States Law, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Faculty Scholarship

The willingness of any national legal system to endorse the process of arbitral adjudication can be measured by whether its governing statutory law and accompanying case law sustain the validity of arbitration agreements and limit judicial supervision of arbitral proceedings and awards - in effect, whether the laws of a nation establish a cooperative relationship between the courts and the arbitral process. On both scores, United States law on arbitration evinces a clear determination to support the process. The development of the law has given the framework of arbitral adjudication its necessary systemic autonomy.

To Arbitrate Or Not To Arbitrate - The Protection Of Rights Under The Age Discrimination In Employment Act - Steck V. Smith Barney, Harris Upham & (And) Co., Thomas D. Rodenberg Jan 1988

To Arbitrate Or Not To Arbitrate - The Protection Of Rights Under The Age Discrimination In Employment Act - Steck V. Smith Barney, Harris Upham & (And) Co., Thomas D. Rodenberg

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The attempt to compel arbitration in a dispute involving federal statutory rights given judicial protection brings into tension two firmly established national policies. On one side, there is the national policy as set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act' (hereinafter Arbitration Act) which strongly favors arbitration agreements.' On the other side, there is the national policy of providing broad access to the courts as the means of enforcing certain statutorily granted rights.' The tension is created when an individual bound by an arbitration agreement raises a claim based on a federal statutory right which is judicially protected. This is precisely …

The Impact Of Arbitral Awards On The Development Of International Law: The Development Of The International Law Concerning The Taking Of Foreign-Owned Property, Rainer Gildeggen

LLM Theses and Essays

The thesis concludes that arbitral awards do have an impact on the development of international law. It focuses on arbitral awards rendered in disputes between states and on those rendered in investment disputes between states and aliens. In Chapter II theoretical considerations concerning the influence of arbitral awards on the development of the international law are made. Chapter III, which examines the impact of arbitral awards on the development of some rules of the international law concerning the taking of foreign-owned property, illustrates the role which arbitral awards rendered in investment disputes play in the development of international law.

Deferral To Arbitration And Use Of External Law In Arbitration, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 1988

Deferral To Arbitration And Use Of External Law In Arbitration, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

proper definition of the appropriate roles of arbitrators, administrative agencies and the courts depends in great part on the notion that, generally speaking, in labor relations, the interpretation and application of contracts is for arbitrators, and the interpretation and application of statutes is for the administrative agencies and the courts. Arbitrators deal primarily with contract rights and administrative agencies, like the NLRB and the courts, deal primarily with statutory rights. If that distinction is maintained, the problems of deferral to arbitration and the use of external law in arbitration can be more easily resolved.

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.

The Effectiveness Of Involuntary Dissolution Suits As A Remedy For Close Corporation Dissension, Harry J. Haynsworth Jan 1987

The Effectiveness Of Involuntary Dissolution Suits As A Remedy For Close Corporation Dissension, Harry J. Haynsworth

Cleveland State Law Review

Intra-corporate dissension between shareholders in a close corporation that can lead to serious deadlock, corporate paralysis and attempted squeeze-outs or other oppressive action is well documented. The purpose of this article is to discuss the available remedies for dealing with this dissension, placing particular emphasis on involuntary dissolution suits, since historically such suits have been the most common litigation remedy used by aggrieved shareholders. The basic conclusion reached is that for the most part judges have done a commendable job of balancing the expectation interests of minority shareholders against the inherent voting and management rights of majority shareholders, and of …

Deciding Arbitrability: At&(And)T Technologies, Inc. V. Communications Workers Of America, Sondra B. Morgan

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Who decides arbitrability-the courts or the arbitrator? The United States Supreme Court recently addressed this issue in the case of AT&T Technologies, Inc. v. Communications Workers of America.2 The Court in AT&T reaffirmed its earlier holding from United Steelworkers v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co.,3 where it held that arbitrability is a matter for judicial determination. 4

Deceptive Negotiating And High-Toned Morality, Walter W. Steele, Jr. Oct 1986

Deceptive Negotiating And High-Toned Morality, Walter W. Steele, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Rising concern about the adequacy of the adversary system to deal with disputes quickly, fairly, and economically has led to increased interest in a broad range of alternate dispute resolution mechanisms such as arbitration and the use of mini-trials. Presently, however, negotiation between disputants or negotiation between counsel for disputants is the best understood and most often utilized alternative to litigation. In fact, negotiating prior to litigating is so pervasive that it might be thought of as an inherent part of the litigation process. From a lawyer's perspective, an advantage of negotiation over other forms of dispute resolution is that …

Arbitration From The Viewpoint Of The Practicing Attorney: An Analysis Of Arbitration Cases Decided By The New York State Court Of Appeals From January, 1973 To September, 1985, Hugh R. Jones

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Over a period of years, recourse has increasingly been had to arbitration as a method of dispute resolution in both the public and the private sectors. There is every indication that this trend will continue and expand in the future. In his opening address at the 1985 Annual Meeting of the American Law Institute last May, Chief Justice Warren Burger urged us to "take a fresh look at the entire structure we have created to resolve disputes" and deplored the fact that "as we now practice it, that system is too costly, too painful, too destructive and too inefficient."' At …

Impact Of Opinion 11 On The Publication Of Arbitration Awards, The, Donald J. Petersen, Julius Rezler

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The primary purpose of an arbitration award is, of course, to resolve the issues submitted to the arbitrator for determination. However, awards also serve a number of other purposes, namely, to facilitate the selection of arbitrators, to assist researchers in evaluating trends in arbitration, to educate prospective arbitrators, and to help the parties in the preparation of their cases and briefs.

A Consideration Of Alternatives To Divorce Litigation, Thomas E. Carbonneau Jan 1986

A Consideration Of Alternatives To Divorce Litigation, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Faculty Scholarship

This article argues for the need to inform divorce proceedings with a sense of the human reality of matrimonial breakdown. Part one assesses the adequacy of the existing adjudicatory approach to divorce by focusing upon the hiatus between the legal approach to divorce and the emotional content of divorce disputes. Part two lays the foundation for constructive change, providing a statistical portrait of divorce in contemporary America. Part four discusses mediation and suggests that it is a more viable alternative mechanism to divorce litigation. Part five discusses the implementation of a judicial arbitration structure.

Federal Arbitration Act Comparison Jan 1986

Federal Arbitration Act Comparison

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The question the Supreme Court left unanswered in Southland is which FAA provisions must be applied by state courts.' Although the FAA clearly preempts state law on the enforceability of arbitration clauses, 6 state procedural rules may still apply in enforcing arbitration agreements.' Since the extent of preemption remains to be determined, it is important for practioners to be aware of and review potential areas of state arbitration acts which may be superceded by the FAA. Accordingly, a comparison of the FAA with selected state arbitration statutes will lend practitioners some guidance in determining the applicable law.

The Two-Way Mirror: International Arbitration As Comparative Procedure, Andreas F. Lowenfeld

Michigan Journal of International Law

In particular, by focusing on selected aspects of the international procedure of international arbitration, as well as on different approaches to the problem of choosing the source of the law to be applied, the author hopes to give the outsider some feeling for the process, and some perception of how international arbitration is different both from domestic arbitration and from litigation in national courts. The author has an additional purpose, as well, however, though: to be sure not to sound too pretentious about it. Focusing on the record, on discovery, on examination of witnesses, and on choosing a choice of …

Rendering Arbitral Awards With Reasons: The Elaboration Of Common Law Of International Transactions, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Faculty Scholarship

With the growth of international trade, arbitration has emerged as the preferred remedy for resolving private international commercial disputes. In fact, among major Western legal systems such as those of England, the United States and France, statutory and decisional law developments indicate a nearly complete acceptance of international arbitral adjudication. This recognition of arbitral procedure and the enforcement of awards, which are given uniform legal recognition and enforcement by domestic legal systems, either as provisions in international conventions or as principles of national statutory or decisional law. These rules, in effect, represent an international consensus on arbitration and constitute a …
