Lumping As Default In Tort Cases: The Cultural Interpretation Of Injury And Causation, David M. Engel
Journal Articles
Empirical studies of the tort law system suggest that "lumping, " or decisions by victims to do without adequate remedies, should be regarded as the predominant response to injury in American society and elsewhere. Yet research on lumping remains conceptually impoverished and gives insufficient attention to the culturalftameworks victims use to interpret their experiences and determine their responses. This Article presents the stories of injury victims in Thailand and compares their common-sense understandings of torts and tort law to those of injured Americans. It argues that analyses of lumping in America as well as Asia should take into account the …

Enhancing The Effectiveness Of Mediation In Korean-American Family Disputes: Cultural Sensitivity Training For Mediators And Co-Mediation Teams, Giyang An
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
This Note focuses primarily on first generation KoreanAmerican women who remain loyal to community values that follow traditional Korean norms, especially when it comes to gender and family roles. To demonstrate the effects of these social values, this Note will analyze conflicts stemming from the various roles and identities (e.g., as a wife or mother) of Korean-American women. In addition, this Note will discuss the different ways Koreans and Americans view the legal systems in their respective countries, and how Koreans generally have a more favorable view of mediation than the confrontational model of litigation. This Note will focus on …
Gentrification And Mediation: Where A Single Pronunciation And Differing Perceptions Converge,

Gentrification And Mediation: Where A Single Pronunciation And Differing Perceptions Converge, Tiffany Ansley
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
This Note seeks to establish that mediation, when gentrification is involved, is the most suitable form of dispute resolution. Mediation, a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"), is the most well equipped method of dispute resolution to handle the emotional, legal, and community-based issues that arise as a result of gentrification. I argue in this Note that the effects of gentrification can be significantly reduced or remedied through mediation. The sources from which I draw to support my argument are research on case law dealing specifically with gentrification, research on the perspectives of persons negatively affected by gentrification, commentary and …
Mediation Ethics: An Exploration Of Four Seminal Texts,

Mediation Ethics: An Exploration Of Four Seminal Texts, Barbara Wilson
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
The subject of mediator ethics is often conflated with discussions about standards of practice, the appropriate wording of codes of conduct, or forms of practitioner regulation. These discussions sometimes also extend to debates about practice dilemmas, such as conflicts of interest, voluntariness, confidentiality and stakeholder issues. The main purpose of this paper is instead to discuss the importance and problems of the differing ethical principles which, I argue, underlie four seminal and popular Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) books. These texts are in current circulation, although some have been republished as later editions since first appearing. They are often used-either separately …

Corporate Power In The Public Eye: Reassessing The Implications Of Berle’S Public Consensus Theory, Marc T. Moore, Antoine Rebérioux
Seattle University Law Review
We analyze Berle’s overall corporate governance project in accordance with what we see as its four core sub-themes: (A) the limitations of external market forces as a constraint on managerial decision-making power; (B) the desirability of internal (corporate) over external (market) actors in allocating corporate capital; (C) civil society and the public consensus as a continuous informal check on managerial decision-making power; and (D) shareholder democracy (as opposed to shareholder primacy or shareholder wealth maximization) as a socially instrumental institution. We seek to debunk the popular misconception that Berle’s early work was a defense of the orthodox shareholder primacy paradigm …
