Queer Dispute Resolution, Daniel Del Gobbo

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The article is organized as follows. Part H traces the conceptual shift in legal theory from thinking about the juridical subject as a bearer of rights to a bearer of interests. This provides the necessary context for my reframing the bearer of interests as a bearer of desires. Part III begins to explore the implications of this move, drawing on what I call the "ethic of positivity" in parts of queer theory that celebrates the potential for sexual desires to transcend identity categories. This theory suggests that the ethical promise of settlement derives from the potential of the subject's interests …

Mediation/Collaborative Law: Exploring A New Combination In Alternative Dispute Resolution In Cases Of Divorce And Domestic Violence, Claudia Lanzetta

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This paper takes the suggestion of collaborative law practice for divorcing couples with an element of domestic violence in their relationship a step further, and proposes a deeper collaboration: a new combination called Mediation/Collaborative Law, or "Med/ Collab." The discipline of Alternative Dispute Resolution and its practitioners are not unfamiliar with collaborations. Hybrid processes on the ADR continuum' 7 include Med/Arb and Arb/ Med. In the same spirit, Med/Collab presents the best aspects and benefits of each process, while addressing and overcoming the difficulties each process separately faces in dealing with domestic violence.

Part II of this paper will revisit …

Attorney-Client Privilege & International Arbitration, Ibrahim Shehata

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article attempts to offer a new perspective to the existing debate concerning the applicable standard of attorney-client privilege in international commercial and investment arbitration. This article starts by analyzing the main convergences and divergences in the concept of attorney-client privilege across four national jurisdictions. In this regard, this article sheds light upon the divergence of opinions between international arbitration scholars in the literature and how international arbitration operates in practice. For instance, the standard of the "most-protective law," which most arbitration scholars vouch should be the right answer, is not actually the most featured standard in the published arbitral …

Cooperative Design Lawyering: How Can Lawyers Prevent Disputes Through Value Innovation?, Jean-François Roberge, Véronique Fraser

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article puts forth processes for preventing disputes based on value innovation, an approach referred to as Cooperative Design Lawyering ("CDL"). It suggests that law firms could take a competitive edge by offering Cooperative Design Lawyering services. It explores how legal designers can redefine the value and predictability of a relationship between parties by creating positive-sum interdependence, managing risk allocation and preventing the escalation of eventual disputes. It argues that CDL has the potential to act as a "blue ocean" strategy by targeting unmet needs and delivering value innovation to reach untapped markets. CDL relationship-oriented services capture value and improve …

Judicial Conflict Resolution In Plea Bargaining As The Golden Mean Between The Adversarial And Inquisitorial Legal Systems, Golan Luzon

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article seeks to develop a better understanding of plea bargaining as a mechanism of judicial conflict resolution in criminal law. Plea bargaining plays a significant role in both the adversarial and inquisitorial legal systems. The article examines how the plea-bargaining model is designed in both legal systems by comparing two civil law countries (Italy and Germany) with two common law countries (England and Wales and the U.S.). I argue that two developments-a mechanism similar to plea bargaining in inquisitorial systems and judges' participation in the criminal plea bargaining negotiations in adversarial legal systems-are part of the same phenomenon seeking …
