The Money Pitch Cl
ASIN: 9067041467 |
Book Description
This is the first book to explore extra-judicial settlement of sports disputes through mediation. It reflects the growing interest in and importance of alternative dispute resolution methods for settling sports-related disputes, at national and international levels. As sport has developed in recent years into a global business, the number of disputes has risen exponentially and the need for alternative forms of dispute resolution has grown significantly too. This book adopts an essentially practical approach, but also provides an explanation of the theoretical background to the subject.

Book Description
Arbitration in Africa contains the edited and, where applicable, updated papers of the inaugural conference of the Pan African Council of the London Court of International Arbitration, held in Nairobi, Kenya on 7-8 December, 1994. This title is the first to focus attention on the role and development of arbitration within Africa and provides the reader with details of the laws of arbitration in a wide variety of African countries. Part One contains a general overview of international commercial arbitration worldwide. The remainder of the book focuses on arbitration within nations throughout Commonwealth Africa (East, West, Central and Southern), Arab North Africa and Francophone Africa. Issues raised include the historical background of arbitration in the various African states, the status and development of arbitration, challenges to arbitration, as well as regional and international arbitration legislation and institutions. Appendix One contains the text of the laws of those African countries which have adopted the UNCITRAL Model Law. Appendix Two provides a list of African countries which are party to the New York Convention of 1958, the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) of 1965 and the Convention establishing the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (HISA) of 1985. The contributors to this volume are all highly experienced in the field of international arbitration and arbitration law in Africa. The work includes a foreword by Lord Mustill. This title is of interest to arbitrators practising in, or involved with Africa, to investors and business people with interests in the region, and to those interested in arbitration generally.

Book Description
This volume is the first of a new series edited by the International Bureau of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) -- The PCA/Peace Palace Papers -- which contains the papers emanating from the semi-annual seminars organized by the PCA in the Peace Palace. Each seminar focuses on a topical issue of international law. The first seminar was held on December 9, 1999, and dealt with Institutional and Procedural Aspects of Mass Claims Settlement Systems. Four speakers from Europe and the United States, recognized experts in their field, shared their practical experience with the respective systems dealing with mass claims.
Book Description
This volume from the International Bureau of the PCA presents a collection of studies on innovative responses to the unique challenges of resolving large numbers of claims arising from common, often tragic, circumstances-mass claims. The mass claims processes discussed in this volume were created in the aftermath of war or other atrocities, and redress is often an important component of settlement for the victims. The authors consider mass claims processes both from a conceptual and a practical perspective through lessons learned over twenty-five years. This book covers innovations to speed mass claims processes by means of new standards of proof and the use of information technology, as well as specific mass claims processes: the United Nations Compensation Commission; the Austrian General Settlement Fund; the French Commission for the Compensation of Victims of Spoliation; the German Forced Labour Compensation Programme; and the reparations provisions of the Statute of the International Criminal Court. From a North American perspective, authors address the litigation of mass claims involving slavery under United States law, the United States Indian Claims Commission, and the successful completion of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. In addition, Volume 1 of the Final Report of the Special Master of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund is reprinted in its entirety. The responses of the international community to current issues of compensation and reparations, the role of civil society actors in reparations legislation, and recent instruments adopted by the Council of Europe and the United Nations Commission on Human Rights are also reviewed.
Book Description
The Five Week Recount War that followed the 2000 presidential election generated tumultuous debate in the courts of justice as well as the court of public opinion. This debate engaged fundamental issues of the democratic process, including obligations of fairness and equality and the roles of elected bodies and the courts in interpreting and vindicating the Constitution. BUSH v. GORE captures this historic conversation by gathering the landmark legal cases from the Supreme Court of Florida and the U.S. Supreme Court along with the best editorial commentary from prominent journalists and scholars on both sides of the political divide.
Contributors include: George F. Will, Scott Turow, Griffin Bell, Lani Guinier, Charles Krauthammer, Jesse L. Jackson and John J. Sweeney, David Tell, Thomas L. Friedman, Michael McConnell, Hendrik Hertzberg, Ramesh Ponnuru, Akhil Reed Amar, John Yoo, Linda Greenhouse, Nelson Lund, Pamela S. Karlan and others.
Customer Reviews:
You can stop after the first half.......2003-03-16
The only reason this book has any value is because of the opinions from the courts that take up the first half of the volume. The rest of the book is filled with op-ed pieces from various newspapers and magazines, liberal and conservative. They are all pretty much worthless. They are too short to offer any real insight, and instead simply seek to use very abrasive rhetoric to whip their respective troops into a frenzy. Reading the court cases however, is clearly an essential part of understanding what happened in the election of 2000. To me, it is fairly clear that what happened to Gore was blatently undemocratic and unfair, but also completely legal under Florida's statutory scheme. So the fundamental question that the book raises, though it never directly address it, is, should we be pursuing a basic sense of fairness, or strictly adhereing to laws, even when it is apparent that they are not functioning in a democratic way, or to the benefit of the citizenry whatsoever. If you think that op-ed columnists will adequately answer that, think again. But at least this book allows thoughtful readers who want to ponder the question for themselves the opportunity to see some source materials.
Balancing the irreconcilable, justifying the unjustifiable.......2002-01-14
The Brookings Institution is a rabbit warren of liberals raised for food, who are, it seems, preserved so that the elite can think well of themselves; Nixon contemplated fire-bombing the joint, and ever since its denizens have been somewhat cautious. For some time, neoconservatism has been the real political philosophy of the elites of The Beltway and Manhattan, but for purposes of public relations the pretense is made that we would be liberal if we could, were it not for dose foreign terrorists and dem welfare queens who take advantage of us.
My experience from Eastern academia and elsewhere is that in actuality liberals in our society tread a narrow path and must avoid giving offense to what William Jennings Bryan called, and which remains, the dollar power.
One way in which they do this is by being "fair" and "balanced." Now to some diehard liberals, such as John Rawls, fairness is being just to the least well-off, and is constituted in such deeds as slipping the local wino the contents of the poor-box. However, fairness has been redefined in recent years by neoconservative pressure as "balance."
Thus Bush v Gore, rather than presenting ONLY E. J. Dionne's liberal, pro-Gore viewpoint, presents (1) the text of all relevant court cases and (2) a balanced selection of views from liberals and conservatives.
The problem is that there really is no common ground.
The case for Bush, it is obvious from this book, is incoherent, wrong, and based on force majeure and Gore won the election by the generally accepted standards of modern democracy, which are on record in the United Nations' founding documents and which the US has helped to enforce in Haiti and elsewhere...but not in Florida last year.
Scalia's majority opinion of Dec 12 is incoherent because it has to maintain, against the entire trend of American history, that we really are a Roman republic, in which the vast majority of people have a limited choice of top man every year by grace and favor of successful used-car salesmen; for Scalia leans heavily on his claim that we, the people, are dependent upon the grace and favor of the moneyed bozos in our STATE legislatures for our right to vote.
In this Animal House model the country is run as a toga party by George Bush's fraternity brothers; I mention the Belushi film advisedly because these films manufacture consent to the superior wisdom of dyslexic clowns.
But this model is not Rome, it is at best, Byzantine. In this model our elections become like the ability of the citizens of Byzantium to root for sports teams named after primary colors; a meaningless diversion. Indeed, and as Chomsky has suggested, the programs of the Democratic and Republican candidates are so close together that random numbers may determine how we vote, there being no strong arguments or differences presented, and this, to Chomsky would naturally bias the results toward close ties, with the result that Bush v. Gore was not a fluke; the problem may recur as long as candidates do not present clear alternatives.
The Roman republic was maintained by the collective ability of the Romans prior to Octavius Caesar to maintain, over and above personal appetite, a distinctly Roman legal culture. The Roman stance was that of a Brutus (not the one who killed Caesar but an earlier Brutus) who allowed his sons to be killed rather than violate the Roman Republic's law. The theme was sacrifice of personal advantage to the commons.
The early Brutus manifested republican integrity because he was willing to sacrifice his sons to abstract legal principles. It might seem that the later Brutus had the same integrity (and a superficial reading of the Shakespeare play would indicate that this is so): but Shakespeare ultimately makes Plutarch's point that murder had no place in republican Rome and that Brutus' form of integrity was actually a form of corruption. Brutus and Cassius, after all, violated their own laws by killing Caesar and their rebellion was morally and legally equivalent to that of Spartacus.
The last time republican integrity was celebrated in popular political culture in France and America was not a conservative time at all. It was instead the revolutionary climate of France in 1789, and, to a lesser extent, in America of 1776. The paintings of Jacques-Louis David and Benjamin West celebrated a political willingness to sacrifice bourgeois interest for the greater good. They state visually that if we want a res publica we need men like Marat, General Wolfe dying on the Plains of Abraham, and Brutus catching hell from his old lady for his sacrifice of his sons.
Now, nothing further from modern conservatism could be imagined, which demands that people NOT be made to sacrifice for the greater good of the Republic, or the Revolution. No, in modern conservatism, lesser folk only sacrifice for dear old Enron...not the republic. And the top men are never discommoded at all.
The game is so deeply cynical that many honest American voters are completely unaware of what's being done to them. Liberals who've run "focus groups" to study the opinions of voters have found that many voters are not aware of how far to the right the in-group Republicans have drifted and the minimalism of their commitment to representative government. The Brookings Institution has dropped the ball, for its "balance" and its retainer of Bill Kristol shows institutional cowardice in which the FACT that the election was a bloodless coup d'etat becomes a meaningless opinion.
The facts about BIll Kristol.......2001-11-28
Before you even think of buying this book, do a little research about who Bill Kristol really is. Kristol is a flunky for rich right-wingers, whose career is underwritten by ultra-conservative, tax-exempt foundations.
Be a smart consumer and an educated reader. Know the bias of an author before you read their work. To review a full report on Kristol's background, go to:

Spin Free Reading.......2001-08-03
I found this book a great read! Having paid close attention to the press coverage and downloading the decisions at the time, I found this book much easier to follow than what I read and viewed during the conflict. While reading this book, I realized how much spin was actually put on the decisions when reported by the press. I chose this book for its balance and I was not disappointed.
Gathers its key text from the landmark legal cases.......2001-04-08
Bush V. Gore: The Court Cases And The Commentary focuses on one of the most extraordinary five week periods in American electorial history: The Florida vote count in the George Bush/Al Gore presidential election contest. Bush v. Gore gathers its key text from the landmark legal cases argued in the Florida Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. Following the legal documents are more than sixty opinion pieces from journalists and scholars on both sides of the political divide. A "must" for students of political science and American electorial history, Bush V. Gore's combination of significant court documents and bi-partisan editorial commentary creates an informed and informative perspective for the unprecedented, highly controversial post-election period with all of its drama, constitutional issues, and outcome.
Book Description
Mass Claims Processes have become increasingly important phenomena in international dispute resolution. This is the first book to provide comprehensive information for a systematic comparison and analysis of the legal issues and practical matters involved in their establishment and operation.
This book considers eleven of the highest profile modern Mass Claims tribunals and commissions created to redress large-scale losses. These include Processes resolving claims arising from the Iranian Revolution, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Holocaust, and conflicts in the Former Yugoslavia and
between Eritrea and Ethiopia.
The book identifies and focuses on forty-seven basic issues that experience shows typically arise with respect to international Mass Claims Processes, offering descriptions and commentary on the ways in which the various Processes have approached each issue.
Much of the information gathered in this book is based on the knowledge and experience of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and its Steering Committee of experts who have either served on the Processes or otherwise been directly engaged in their activities.
This book should be useful to all scholars and practitioners interested in international dispute settlement as well as to those involved with new or existing Mass Claims Processes. Moreover, it may lead to recognition that certain aspects of Mass Claims Processes might have lessons for other
procedures for resolution of complex commercial or diplomatic disputes.
