Why Corporate Boards Should Include Lgbtq+ People, Jeremy Mcclane, Darren Rosenblum Jan 2023

Why Corporate Boards Should Include Lgbtq+ People, Jeremy Mcclane, Darren Rosenblum

Seattle University Law Review

Corporate boardrooms sit at the heart of most of society’s most consequential decisions but fall far short of the diversity of our society. The current movement toward board diversification aims to remedy the underrepresentation of marginalized groups on corporate boards. More recently, some efforts have included LGBTQ+ people, even though the basis for their inclusion on corporate boards remains largely unstated. This Article examines both the normative and instrumental bases for LGBTQ+ inclusion in board diversity initiatives, articulating unspoken assumptions and linking LGBTQ+ people to the broader inclusion effort. In so doing, it begins to surface the unique issues LGBTQ+ …

If You Build It, Will They Come? An Empirical Study Of The Voluntary Use Of Mediation And Its Implications, Dwight Golann Jan 2021

If You Build It, Will They Come? An Empirical Study Of The Voluntary Use Of Mediation And Its Implications, Dwight Golann

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

A generation ago, American litigants did not often go to mediation voluntarily. Advocates of the process predicted, however, that as lawyers and parties became more familiar with mediation, they would opt to use it more often. But, is this true? Virtually no data exists about how often litigants voluntarily choose to mediate legal disputes, whether use varies in different kinds of cases, and what motivates litigants' decisions whether to mediate or not. This Article presents data about each of these issues and analyzes its meaning.

Strategic Apologies In Medical Malpractice Mediation, Brittany Norman Apr 2020

Strategic Apologies In Medical Malpractice Mediation, Brittany Norman

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Mistakes happen, even in a field as serious and careful as medicine. As a result, some patients are left with unexpected results from their medical procedures. Once hospitals inform patients of medical mistakes or the patients inform the hospital, the patients' cases are moved to the legal realm, where they are viewed as a liability. This shift causes the patient to feel as though the hospital does not recognize him or her and prevents doctors from apologizing to their patients, despite their desire to do so. In an attempt to apologize without vulnerability to liability, medical professionals are sometimes instructed …

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Section II of this Note provides background on urgent care and ADR. Section III will elaborate on current payment procedures and explain some of the pitfalls that create a need for a supplementary payment solution. Section IV lays out a four-step plan incorporating a logical progression of ADR techniques that would enable quality of care and ease and success of financial arrangements, and vastly improved patient-provider relations. The feasibility of this plan will be demonstrated through application of its steps to hypothetical examples, representative of various realistic patient experiences, in Section V.

Trial And Error: Legislating Adr For Medical Malpractice Reform, Lydia Nussbaum Mar 2017

Trial And Error: Legislating Adr For Medical Malpractice Reform, Lydia Nussbaum

Maryland Law Review

The U.S. healthcare system has a problem: hundreds of thousands of people die each year, and over a million are injured, by medical mistakes that could have been avoided. Furthermore, over ninety percent of these patients and their families never learn of the errors or receive redress. This problem persists, despite myriad reforms to the medical malpractice system, because of lawmakers’ dominant focus on reducing providers’ liability insurance costs. Reform objectives are beginning to change, however, and the vehicle for implementing these changes is alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”). Historically, legislatures deployed ADR to curb malpractice litigation and restrict patients’ access …

Is It Time To Pay Attention? Critiquing The Cognitive Enhancement Drug Policies And Appeals Process In United States Collegiate Sports, David Swiedler Jan 2017

Is It Time To Pay Attention? Critiquing The Cognitive Enhancement Drug Policies And Appeals Process In United States Collegiate Sports, David Swiedler

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Note examines PED use in college sports, focusing primarily on cognitive enhancing drugs as an example of a common lethal PED, and the current NCAA drug-testing regulations and disciplinary process to explore its efficiency and fairness. Then, the Note proposes changes to the NCAA protocol, specifically changes to the appeals process for student-athletes who fail drug tests for PED use and request a review of the disciplinary actions taken against them by the NCAA.


Utilizing Alternative Dispute Resolution To Foster Comprehensive Traumatic Brain Injury Research, Michael Meyers Jan 2017

Utilizing Alternative Dispute Resolution To Foster Comprehensive Traumatic Brain Injury Research, Michael Meyers

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

ADR, and more specifically mediation, could increase funding towards TBI prevention and recovery research. Section II explores the TBI Reauthorization Act in an effort to highlight its many successes and some of its shortcomings. Following the assessment of the national legislation, it is appropriate to examine efforts being made at the state-level. Next, because professional and collegiate sports leagues control a great deal of revenue, it is important to assess the initiatives set forth through their official league policies and rules, public relations efforts, and scientific contributions. This calls for an extensive examination of the NFL, NHL, NCAA, and FIFA's …


The Execution Of An Arbitration Provision As A Condition Precedent To Medical Treatment: Legally Enforceable? Medically Ethical, 42 Mitchell Hamline L. Rev. 273 (2016), Marc Ginsberg Jan 2016

The Execution Of An Arbitration Provision As A Condition Precedent To Medical Treatment: Legally Enforceable? Medically Ethical, 42 Mitchell Hamline L. Rev. 273 (2016), Marc Ginsberg

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Is it reasonable for a physician to condition treatment upon the patient’s execution of an arbitration agreement? Is such an agreement enforceable? Is such an agreement medically ethical? This paper will address these topics (and others) in an effort to determine whether a treatment conditioned upon the execution of an arbitration agreement covering medical liability claims is consistent with, and should be a defensible component of the physician-patient relationship.

Texas Advance Directives Act: Nearly A Model Dispute Resolution Mechanism For Intractable Medical Futility Conflicts, Thaddeus Pope Jan 2016

Texas Advance Directives Act: Nearly A Model Dispute Resolution Mechanism For Intractable Medical Futility Conflicts, Thaddeus Pope

Faculty Scholarship

Increasingly, clinicians and commentators have been calling for the establishment of special adjudicatory dispute resolution mechanisms to resolve intractable medical futility disputes. As a leading model to follow, policymakers both around the United States and around the world have been looking to the conflict resolution provisions in the 1999 Texas Advance Directives Act (‘TADA’). In this article, I provide a complete and thorough review of the purpose, history, and operation of TADA. I conclude that TADA is a commendable attempt to balance the competing goals of efficiency and fairness in the resolution of these time-sensitive life-and-death conflicts. But TADA is …


Medical Malpractice Arbitration: Not Business As Usual, David Larson, David Dahl Jan 2016

Medical Malpractice Arbitration: Not Business As Usual, David Larson, David Dahl

Faculty Scholarship

There is an interesting exception to businesses’, employers’, and service providers’ seemingly universal embrace of arbitration processes, particularly mandatory pre-dispute arbitration. Although it may be difficult to believe given arbitration’s current popularity, not everyone requires his or her clients to sign mandatory pre-dispute arbitration agreements. In fact, some service providers prefer to avoid arbitration regardless of whether it is arranged pre- or post-dispute. So which merchants or service providers are choosing to forgo arbitration and, more importantly, why do they dislike arbitration? And do politics have anything to with their choices? Physicians are not, shall we say, the world’s greatest …

Reclaiming Mediation's Future: Re-Focusing On Party Self-Determination, Robert A. Baruch Bush, Joseph P. Folger Jan 2015

Reclaiming Mediation's Future: Re-Focusing On Party Self-Determination, Robert A. Baruch Bush, Joseph P. Folger

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The premise of the Symposium that occasioned this Issue was that mediation is presently underutilized almost everywhere, and that the reason for this phenomenon is that the public simply doesn't grasp the great value of the process due to inadequate outreach and education efforts about mediation as an alternative to the legal system. Some suggest that greater use of mandatory mediation policies is called for as a response, rather than continuing the fruitless effort to explain mediation's value to an apparently unreceptive public. We disagree about both the cause and the solution for lack of public interest in mediation. We …


Positive Prognosis For Judges: A Look Into Judge-Directed Negotiations In Medical Malpractice Cases, Kristine Gamboa Feb 2014

It informs that Douglas McKeon, Judge of the Bronx County Supreme Court had developed the concept of judge-directed negotiations. It overviews the praises and criticisms behind the success of the program.


Success And Failure In Adr: A Dialogue Between Partners, Lela P. Love, Joseph B. Stulberg Jan 2014

Success And Failure In Adr: A Dialogue Between Partners, Lela P. Love, Joseph B. Stulberg

Articles

Love and Stulberg critically discuss policy, scholarly, and practice developments in four areas of program development in the area historically referenced as alternative dispute resolution (ADR): the range of process options; the impact of court procedures on ADR program development and practice; the nature of ADR scholarship and training; and the general public's receptiveness to or rejection of the normative principles that structure ADR collaborative processes. Their concluding remarks suggest that the promise of ADR, particularly of the mediation process, remains inspiring to many, even if its effective implementation remains uneven.


Symposium Issue Introduction And Dedication, Shawna Benston Jan 2014

Symposium Issue Introduction And Dedication, Shawna Benston

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The 2013 Jed D. Melnick Annual Symposium, which took place on November 18th, 2013, was entitled "Bioethics, Healthcare Policy, and Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Age of Obamacare." Scholars and practitioners of bioethics alternative dispute resolution came together to discuss the likely impact of a healthcare overhaul born of an ethical challenge: to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number while continuing to honor the value of the individual. Collectively, the Symposium participants anticipated the particular importance of mediation and bioethical debate within the complex health-delivery system that has been drafted under this biomedical imperative.


The Growing Power Of Healthcare Ethics Committees Heightens Due Process Concerns, Thaddeus Mason Pope Jan 2014

The Growing Power Of Healthcare Ethics Committees Heightens Due Process Concerns, Thaddeus Mason Pope

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Complex ethical situations, such as end-of-life medical treatment disputes, occur on a regular basis in healthcare settings. Healthcare ethics committees (HECs) have been a leading dispute resolution forum for many of these conflicts. But while the function of HECs has evolved from mediation to adjudication, the form of HECs has not evolved to adapt to this expanded and more consequential function.


Bioethics Mediation & The End Of Clinical Ethics As We Know It, Autumn Fiester Jan 2014

Bioethics Mediation & The End Of Clinical Ethics As We Know It, Autumn Fiester

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In this Article, I will not only argue that bioethics mediation is a superior approach for resolving ethics conflicts, but I will also defend the controversial position that it is the only ethically justifiable method for resolving values-based conflicts in a pluralistic society. Although it has so far been relegated to the status of mere handmaiden to conventional consultation, bioethics mediation-as its detractors have surmised-has the potential to end clinical ethics consultation as we know it.

Informed Consent In Mediation: Promoting Pro Se Parties' Informed Settlement Choice While Honoring The Mediator's Ethical Duties, Michael T. Colatrella Jr.

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In explaining the proper role of informed consent in mediation, this Article will proceed as follows: Part II will examine mediation's core ethical values of self-determination, impartiality and promoting a quality process. Part III will explore the meaning and origins of the informed consent doctrine; and, in Part IV, analyze the application of informed consent policies and principles to mediation in the light of mediation's core ethical values. Part V will explore ways that mediators can promote informed outcome consent within the existing ethical framework and recommend legislative reform that will help clarify the mediator's proper role of promoting fair …


Fixing The Vaccine Act's Structural Moral Hazard, Brandon L. Boxler Feb 2013
