Divided We Fall: Associational Standing And Collective Interest, Heidi Li Feldman Dec 1988

Divided We Fall: Associational Standing And Collective Interest, Heidi Li Feldman

Michigan Law Review

This Note asserts that associations merit standing when they seek to litigate collective interests they reasonably claim as theirs. Part I of this Note examines the state of judicial doctrine on associational standing, and illustrates how current doctrine hampers associations by refusing to recognize, and thus protect, interests that fit naturally with those the Supreme Court has regarded as associational.

A Comparison Of Soviet And American Maritime Arbitration, Timothy A. Power Jan 1988

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Maritime arbitration has a long history both in the United States, where it dates from the late 19th century, and in the Soviet Union, where the permanent arbitration body known as the Maritime Arbitration Commission (MAC or Commission) has existed since 1930. Although both countries have similar procedures for maritime arbitration, the history, ideology, and commercial goals of each country have created systems that differ markedly in approach and style. The American experience has fostered an ad hoc system where the parties establish arbitration panels as disputes arise and where the parties have almost unlimited discretion in choosing arbitrators and …

Often a court may claim it lacks power to hear a case because it does not have jurisdiction over the defendant or the subject matter of the suit. Another motive of a court for refusing to hear the case may be simply the necessity to clear its docket. One …
