Note, Providing a Comprehensive View of Family Mediation Divorce and Family Mediation: Models, Techniques, and Applications
February 8, 2012
Bracken reviews a book by Jay Folberg and others which contains extensive collections of articles on a variety of family and divorce mediation topics. He argues that the book did not address issues on how a mediator should decide whether mediation is appropriate for his or her client and argues some other sections of the book need more detailed discussion on issues such as power imbalance. However, overall, the author approved the book as a great supplement for practioners.

Dollars and Death
February 8, 2012
Administrative regulations and tort law both impose controls on activities that cause mortality risks, but they do so in puzzlingly different ways. Under a relatively new and still-controversial procedure, administrative regulations rely on a fixed value of a statistical life representing the hedonic loss from death. Under much older law, tort law in most states excludes hedonic loss from the calculation of damages, and instead focuses on loss of income, which regulatory policy ignores. Regulatory...

BAPCPA Impact on Preference Mediation
February 8, 2012
The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 triggered changes to federal bankruptcy laws, creating several implications related to the ordinary course defense to preference actions. Gomey believes that the defense will lead to increased mediation activity and concludes that this result was probably not intended by Congress when it enacted the reformed laws.

Between Commenting and Negotiation: The Contours of Public Participation Agency Rulemaking
February 8, 2012
The author contends that rulemaking, which are laws that executive agencies formulate, has traditionally involved negotiations between agency officials and parties from outside the government with a stake in the action. However, the author argues that contemporary public policy in the United States falls in between commenting on proposed rules and serving on negotiated rulemaking committees. The author uses examples from the Department of Transportation to support his argument.

ADR and Transitional Justice as Reconstructing the Rule of Law
February 8, 2012
The article argues that the critique of the rule of law during the twentieth century inspired development of alternative dispute resolution as well as international Transitional Justice. Furthermore, the article argues that the common principles between these two movements are a result of this inspiration and demonstrate an effort to reconstruct the rule of law.

Incorporating Fairness into Game Theory and Economics
February 8, 2012
People like to help those who are helping them and to hurt those who are hurting them. Outcomes rejecting such motivations are called fairness equilibria. Outcomes are mutual-max when each person maximizes the other's material payoffs, and mutual-min when each person minimizes the other's payoffs. It is shown that every mutual-max or mutual-min Nash equilibrium is a fairness equilibrium. If payoffs are small, fairness equilibria are roughly the set of mutual-max and mutual-min outcomes; if payoffs...
