1 WINNING VISUAL ILLUSTRATIONS POWER POINT FOR TRIAL LAWYERS By: D. Richard Jones, III 1117 Perimeter Center West Suite N-307 Atlanta, Georgia (770) Fax: (770) As trial lawyers, we educate jurors about the facts of the case to guide them to a just result. In fact, we are teachers, but we are not well trained to teach. Good teachers know skills we are seldom taught. Trial lawyers should learn the skills, techniques and characteristics of a convincing teacher. Social Scientist s research demonstrates visual aids communicate more information in less time to more people than oral discussion alone. 1 Most students learn more and retain more with visual aids that reinforce auditory communication. While a good story 1 J. S. Stancil & C. T. Melear, Paper and Cube Intervention Preceded by a Three- Dimensional Computer Graphic Animation to Improve Spatial Ability among Elementary Education Majors (1991); Richard E. Mayer & Richard B. Anderson, The Instructive Animation: Helping Students Build Connections Between Words and Pictures in Multimedia Learning, 84 J.Ed. Psych. 444 (1992). 1
2 teller captures our imagination around a campfire, in the light and rigor of a courtroom, the oral tradition (whether monologue or dialogue) loses some of its luster for kindling the imagination. Visual aids improve understanding. Only 25% of society are auditory learners; most, over 60%, are visual learners. Visual illustrations also evoke the juror s imagination and assist in the visualization and thus belief in the Plaintiff s story. We are accustomed to visual aids. On the evening news, pictures and videos reinforce the story line of the news anchor; bullet point lists summarize segments of the news; and computerized special effects demonstrate the tailspin of a plane or the progress of a weather front. As trial lawyers, we should learn the skills of visual communication. There s no need to become computer animators or medical illustrators. Technology allows us to enhance our opening statements with vivid visual aids and cross-examination of the opposing expert with devastating clarity. I. The Law Of Visual Illustrations. A. Use by witnesses. 2
3 Real evidence relates directly to a factual issue at trial. 2 Demonstrative evidence illustrates either evidence or issues in dispute. 3 Demonstrative evidence must be relevant or it will be excluded. 4 Properly introduced documentary and demonstrative evidence goes out with the jury when it retires for deliberation. 5 Illustrative evidence may be introduced into evidence or it may be purely illustrative. 6 It depends upon the purpose of its 2 Real evidence is evidence identified and authenticated as relating directly to the events in issue at trial... Demonstrative or illustrative evidence, on the other hand, is not immediately related to the events in question but instead derives its relevance from its similarity to or representative of the real evidence... PAUL S. MILICH, GEORGIA RULES OF EVIDENCE 10.1 (1995). 3 PAUL S. MILICH, GEORGIA RULES OF EVIDENCE 10.1 (1995). 4 Elder v. Stark, 200 Ga. 452, 37 SE2d 598 (1946). 5 GREEN, GEORGIA LAW OF EVIDENCE 87.1 (4th Ed. 1994). 6 D. LAKE RUMSEY, AGNOR S GEORGIA EVIDENCE 15-1 (3rd Ed. 1993). 3
4 use. For instance, a medical illustration used to illustrate testimony may be introduced into evidence. 7 In order to use illustrative evidence, a witness must testify that it is accurate; 8 in addition, it must be relevant and not unfairly prejudicial. 9 We have all used models, drawings, sketches and medical illustrations. Some of these may now be prepared in Power Point. 7 Gabbard v. State, 233 Ga. App. 122, 503 S.E.2d 347 (1998). 8 Doster v. Central of Ga. Railroad Co., 177 Ga. App. 393, 339 S.E.2d 619 (1985). 9 Doster v. Central of Ga. Railroad Co., 177 Ga. App. 393, 339 S.E.2d 619 (1985). 4
5 B. Trial Lawyers Use Demonstrative Evidence Counsel may use illustrative aids: O.C.G.A provides: In the trial of any civil action, counsel for either party shall be permitted to use a blackboard and models or similar devices in connection with his argument to the jury for the purpose of illustrating his contentions with respect to the issues which are to be decided by the jury, provided that counsel shall not in writing present any argument that could not properly be made orally. This statute applies to both opening statement and closing argument. 10 II. Power Point A. Why use Power Point? Power Point offers winning visual illustrations. These are preplanned presentations. Power Point requires careful thought and planning before trial. In fact, to some extent, these are 10 Lewyn v. Morris, 135 Ga. App. 289, 217 SE2d 642 (1975). In this case, although it was error for the trial court to refuse to allow the plaintiff s counsel to use a diagram to explain the positions of the cars involved in the collision, the error was deemed harmless. 5
6 its very drawbacks: It is not suited to off the cuff or extemporaneous uses. 11 B. Uses at trial. i. Its benefits, a preplanned organized presentation, describes well the qualities of an excellent opening statement and cross-examination. In these two facets of trial, Power Point works wonders in conjunction with physical illustrative aids. ii. Cross Examination of Experts. Power Point may highlight prior inconsistent statements quite well; or, if the deposition is videotaped, illustrate the prior inconsistent statement. My rule of thumb for prior inconsistent statements: Best: Video of prior inconsistent statement & transcript of same on Power Point, side by side Better: Physical blow up of prior inconsistent statement 11 For those who wish to make extemporaneous or on the fly changes, try Anix as an add on to Power Point. It allows on the fly changes to Power Point presentations. For a more complete discussion, see Appendix, Section II(4). 6
7 Good: Overhead blow up of prior inconsistent statement Not As Good: Power Point highlight of scanned transcript C. Use in conjunction with other demonstrative evidence. Power Point is one weapon in the arsenal of the trial lawyer. It should not replace all physical illustrations or the easel. It s best used in conjunction with other illustrative aids. D. Final Hints 1. Last minute changes cannot be absorbed by Power Point quickly. Furthermore sometimes technology fails; your laptop won t boot; an electrical outage darkens your LCD projector (perhaps not your laptop); a bulb in the LCD projector fails. Even with Power Point, it may not be readily accessible. May I suggest you be prepared to make your opening without it? 2. Avoid using red and green colors. Almost 25% of the population suffers red or green blindness to some degree. 3. Quality equipment, whether LCD projector, laptop or VCR/TV counts and reflects upon you. Jurors expect a degree of professionalism from you; the equipment will be yours for years; quality equipment reflects well on you and your commitment to your case and your profession. 7
8 4. Practice with your equipment frequently. Practice does make perfect. The courtroom is no place to first use a LCD projector, Laptop or VCR/TV. 5. Know your Courtroom. Where will the plugs go, where will the screen go? How about the projector. The projector stand should have height adjustable legs. The juror box rises to different heights in different courtrooms. What may work in one courtroom may not work in another. 6. Power Point is easily overused; a jury bores from it. Use it sparingly. I adhere to the same notion in riding horses, in teaching, and to some extent, in jury trials: as much as necessary, but as little as possible. 7. Don t be flashy with your Power Point presentation. Charles Stephens often says: understate what you will prove; let me add: then over prove it. 8. Avoid boring presentations. Courtrooms evoke theater, drama, comedy, conflict and resolution. We are to some extent entertainers; make your presentation interesting; make them different; use Power Point wisely. 8

The function for the outgoing and incoming Chairpersons and members were held on May 06, 2016 in the Silver Springs Hotel in Bugolobi. Dr. Isaac Magoola, the outgoing Chairperson of Makerere University Business Academic Staff Association (MUBASA) thanked the members of staff, Management for honouring the invitation. He said that as leaders, we should demonstrate democracy. "I could have stood for the second time, but since there are some stakeholders also, there is need to leave room for others". The outgoing chairperson said that they successfully rejected the implementation of other degree awarding institution status. They won the battle but the war is still on.
Dr. Magoola advised the new leadership under the chairmanship of Dr. Ahimbisibwe to practice academic freedom in order to succeed. "You should uphold the law and policies made under it, respect national justice, respect all people in official positions however small it is and finally set a few objectives and accomplish them. When you set many, you will be setting yourself a trap". he said. The outgoing members of MUBASA were given certificates in honour of the services rendered to the association. The incoming office bearers were also sworn in during the same occasion. Below is the New list of the MUBASA leadership 2016:
- Dr. Arthur Ahimbisibwe as chairperson of MUBASA
- Dr. Isaac WanzigeMagoola- Vice chairperson of MUBASA
- Ms. Zaina Nakabuye- General Secretary
- Mr. Douglas Ssenoga- Public Relations& Welfare committee
- Ms. Carol Kiriza- Member
- Ms. Mauren Mukoda- Member
- Mr. Gonzaga Basulira – Member
- Dr. Muhammad Ngoma- Member/ Research committee
- Dr. Ernest Abaho- Member
- Dr. Vincent Bagire_ Member
- Mr. Sam Musigire- Member
- Dr. Isaac Nkote- RBS/ NIC Representative
- Mr. Onesmu sKamachoko- Treasurer.
The function was also graced by the Deputy Principal, Dr. Moses Muhwezi, who represented the Principal- Prof. Waswa Balunywa. Dr. Muhwezi thanked the chairperson for inviting him, hence making him to be part of the association. He said, "We all know the importance of MUBASA and we also know the importance of Trade Unions of staff associations. As an Institution and as an Association, I think the welfare of staff is important. The point I am making is that this perception that there is Management and there is MUBASA and we are apart should stop. I take this opportunity to call upon my colleagues to join hands for the good of this association. We should use our brains so that we can make money. What you should bear in mind is that there is no institution without challenges. We shall improve, provided that we have trust in ourselves. As MUBS, we have that unique culture and achievements. These are very clear to us and we shall support one another. We cannot fail to win using our own minds and skills. I urge you as a group that there is a way we can solve problems and we keep moving. We must resolve to build the institution because it is what we should be in the future. So, I call upon you to join hands and not to tear it apart. As intellectuals, we should use our intellect to have that minimal dominion of knowledge". He also advised Dr. Arthur Ahimbisibwe to be a real leader. "Overcome any pride in you and lead these people. They have entrusted and voted for you. Don't let them down. We are here to support you and we shall work together".
"I thank all of you for inviting me and I once again thank you all for coming and I wish everybody a successful career. Thanks a great deal for listening to me". he said.

This report identifies the causes of this negative marketing from a historical lens and also suggestions on how to revitalize the fading brand and restore its recent lost brand equity. Historical Marketing Tactics Paxil had relied on television and print advertising, historically, in order to gain brand recognition and some semblance of brand loyalty with diverse consumer markets. The brand even relied on promotional materials, such as T-shirts, to assist in spreading the brand's name and overall purpose. In 1998, the Food and Drug Administration delivered a warning letter to GlaxoWellcome about the inappropriate distribution of T-shirts at a children's health forum in Florida, believing it was promoting an unethical and unapproved use of the drug by expressing its merits to children (Mundy 2008). Thus, Paxil relied on an extensive and rather expensive integrated marketing campaign in order to gain consumer following and to get patients to inquire about the drug at their health clinics to assist in reducing depression symptoms. Up until 2007, these marketing efforts had been a profit success and built considerable brand equity that maintained the ability for extensions of the Paxil name where appropriate. ...

 http://www.macrothink.org/journal/index.php/ajfa/article/view/9359 The Determinants of Capital Structure: Empirical Analysis of Oil and Gas Firms during 2000-2015 2017-02-24T16:38:52-08:00 Aws Yousef Shambor email@example.com
This study investigates the capital structure determinants of 346 oil and gas firms that are the constituents of the Global Oil and Gas Index (OILGSWD) over the period of 2000 – 2015, taking into account the effect of the Global Financial Crisis of2007-2009 on the determinants of the capital structure. Thus, six firm level explanatory variables (namely: liquidity, profitability, growth, non-debt tax shield, tangibility and size) are selected and regressed against the appropriate capital structure measure, leverage, the ratio of total debt to book value of total assets. The data is collected from secondary sources depending on the data from the DataStream database. The major findings of the study indicate that tangibility, profitability, size, liquidity and non-debt tax shield are the significant determinants of capital structure of oil and gas firms, while growth is considered insignificant. The capital structure is analyzed in terms of the three main theories of capital structure: Trade-off theory, Pecking order theory, and Agency cost theory. Finally, the global financial crisis has to some extent a significant impact on the capital structure determinants of oil and gas firms and has no significant impact on liquidity, as indicated by the OLS regression analysis results.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of enterprise risk management (ERM) and credit risk management (CMR) on Indonesian bank performance. This study also investigates the moderating role of bank contingency factors on those impacts. By exploring purposive sampling method, 24 Indonesian public listed Banks were selected as the sample of this study for four years observations.

This study found ERM and CRM positively influence on Indonesian bank performance. This study also reported that the influencing of ERM on Bank performance will be stronger for large bank and the bank which operate in higher environmental uncertainty, higher complexity, and lower independent board monitoring. In contrast this study provide an empirical evidence on strangtern CRM-bank performance relationship will be exist for small bank and the bank which operate in lower environmental uncertainty, lower complexity, and higher independent board monitoring.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between firm's liquidity and profitability; and to find out the effects of different components of liquidity on firms' profitability.The relationship between liquidity and firms' profitability is empirically examined by collecting the data of 50 listed firms of Karachi Stock Exchange, Pakistan. Panel data has been collected from secondary sources for the year 2007 to 2011 .Net operating income and Return on assets are used measure of firm's profitability. Liquidity of the firm is measured by using cash gap in days and current ratio. Firm size measured by net sales, total assets and market capitalization .The study applies regression analysis to determine factors affecting profitability. Incremental tests are carried out to see the importance of individual variables in the model.The results of correlation and regression analysis showed that there is a significant negative relationship between cash gap and return on assets while current ratio has significant positive relationship with profitability. Results further indicate that log of sales and log of total assets has positive significant relationship with profitability. The findings of this study are based on firms listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). Hence, the results cannot be generalizable to those firms which are not listed on Karachi stock exchange. The sample of the study comprises only the merchandising and manufacturing firms. Banks are excluded due to their nature of work.
 2017-02-08T22:06:55-08:00 Copyright (c) 2017 Asian Journal of Finance & Accounting http://www.macrothink.org/journal/index.php/ajfa/article/view/10322 Does Board Supervisory Quality Enhance Corporate Social Performance?-Evidence from Taiwanese Listed Firms 2017-02-24T16:38:52-08:00 Yaying Mary Chou Yeh firstname.lastname@example.com Wen-Chi Hsieh email@example.com
This study uses Taiwanese public firms as a sample to examine if board supervisory quality enhances CSP. The present study uses four proxies for supervisory quality of board at group level: board meeting attendance rate, number of board meetings, social capital of the board and average training hours of directors. We obtain 348 CSR data from an international CSR rating agent and match them with double size non-CSR firms. We find that CSR firms exhibit significantly higher board attendance rate, board meeting frequency and board social capital than non-CSR firms. For CSR firms, board attendance rate and board meeting frequency positively impact CSR ratings, implying that board diligence is essential to monitoring management to achieve higher social objectives. However, board social capital and training significantly but negatively impact CSP, implying busy board and inexperienced board detriments CSP.

Board success in CSR means directors must be passionate about the issues on CSR. Additionally, firms that are behind social agenda need to recruit resourceful directors to diversify information base for advises about stakeholder issues and trends. Firms that have taken steps in CSR activities should not recruit overly busy directors or inexperienced directors. Our paper provides both theoretical and practical implications.

The aim of this research is to investigate earnings relative ability, operating cash flow, and two traditional criteria of cash flow, that is, net earnings plus depreciation and operating working capital in predicting operating future cash flows. Further, the effect of firm size on the ability to predict these criteria is investigated in this research. The sample firms contain listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over the period 2005-2009. The results show that net earnings relative to operating cash flows and its traditional criteria have greater ability to predict future cash flows in small firms whereas operating cash flows compared with other criteria are better predictors in big firms. Results indicate thatthe predictability of all models increases considerably when firm size increases.

Lack of Funding Closes USS Monitor Conservation Lab
Tuesday, January 14, 2014
the USS Monitor is being conserved in a 90,000-gallon water tank will close to the public due to budget constraints and a lack of federal funding. "Obviously, we're not going to let these things fall apart. This is the largest marine metals conservation project in the entire world," said David Krop, director of USS Monitor Center, an extension of The Mariners' Museum that opened in 2007. The federal government retains ownership of the historic Civil War-era ironclad ship, including the two guns, a propeller, and a steam engine from the Monitor that are housed in the museum.NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA—The wet lab where the turret from

The Immigrant
Monday March, 20 2017 at 07:30 PM
Films in BOLD will Air on TCM * | VIEW TCMDb ENTRY
Nearing the end of his contract with Essanay, Charles Chaplin found himself pursued by all the major studios, who were determined to get the popular star on their roster. In February 1916 he accepted a highly lucrative offer from the ten-year-old conglomerate Mutual Film Corporation that made Chaplin the highest paid entertainer in the world. Mutual gave him his own studio, renamed Lone Star, and he began work on what would be a dozen shorts over the next two years, some of the best of his career, including such classics as The Rink (1916) and Easy Street (1917). Chaplin later referred to his time at Mutual as "the happiest days of my life."
For his leading lady in all of the Mutual Films, Chaplin brought with him Edna Purviance, a former stenographer he had cast in her first movie, A Night Out (1915). Purviance worked exclusively with Chaplin over eight years in three dozen films, and by the time of The Immigrant (1917) they had become romantically involved as well, a relationship cut short by his shotgun marriage to Mildred Harris, a teenage actress he got pregnant. Purviance kept working with him, however, through A Woman of Paris (1923), a film he directed but did not appear in. Chaplin hoped to make Edna a star in her own right with that film, but although highly regarded today, it was a flop upon its release. She made only two more pictures before her retirement, A Woman of the Sea (1926) for Josef von Sternberg, and a French film, Education of a Prince (1927). She came out of retirement only briefly for small roles in two later Chaplin films, Monsieur Verdoux (1947) and Limelight (1952). Chaplin remained devoted to her the rest of her life, keeping her on his payroll until her death in 1958.
In The Immigrant, Charlie and Edna meet on an arduous cross-Atlantic voyage, a couple of immigrants seeking a new life in America. The first half of the film takes place aboard the ship, where Charlie uses his card-playing skills to win back money stolen by another passenger from Edna and her ailing mother. The ship sequence concludes with the passengers lined up at the rail, watching in wonder as they pass the Statue of Liberty, a shot--and a sentiment--referenced in many future movies, notably The Godfather Part II (1974). Shortly after that, he is separated from the girl and her mother as they are herded like cattle onto the dock. Chaplin's depiction of this indignity and the immigration officials who treat the new arrivals so gruffly (one of whom gets a kick in the rear from Charlie) was later cited, incredibly, as evidence of his "anti-Americanism" when he was forced to leave America in the 1950s during the Red Scare.
The second part of The Immigrant finds a down-and-out Charlie coming upon a coin in the street that he attempts to use to buy himself a much-needed dinner. The cafe sequence that follows, in which he runs into Edna once again, is a classic example of Chaplin's inventiveness as the coin is lost and retrieved numerous times. Like all his Mutual shorts, Chaplin built his stories through on-set improvisation rather than relying on a script.
The cafe sequence was actually shot first for another film, a Left Bank romance that was never completed. Chaplin at this time was already notorious for production delays, midstream changes, difficulties in completing productions, and ever-inflating budgets that drove Mutual to distraction, especially since they expected a movie a month from their temperamental artist. The opening scene alone took more than a week to film, forcing Purviance to gobble plate after plate of beans. By the time the cafe section was complete, Chaplin had gone through three actors playing the waiter. He then abruptly changed his mind and decided the reason his character was so poor was that he was an immigrant. The cafe scenes were put aside for use at the end of the movie.
Chaplin gave Mutual further heartburn by renting a tramp steamer for $1300 a day and then let it languish in the harbor for ten days before he got around to shooting on it. On the eleventh day, cast and crew climbed aboard, and a team of tugboats towed them out to sea. Chaplin decided at that moment to start with a gag in which his character would be seen from behind, leaning over the rail as if seasick, then suddenly turning toward the camera triumphantly with a fish he caught. Shooting the impromptu idea had to be put on hold long enough for a crew member to row back to shore and purchase the fish that would dangle at the end of Chaplin's line.
By the time Chaplin completed principal photography for what would be about a twenty-minute film, he had shot about 90,000 feet of film, almost equal to the amount of stock D.W. Griffith used to shoot his epic twelve-reel Intolerance (1916). The result, however, (after four days of non-stop day-and-night editing by Chaplin himself) was one of his sweetest and most intimate stories, the first in which his character embarks on a full-fledged romance. Drawing on his own experiences coming to America a few years earlier, he solidified his reputation with the urban working class who were becoming a major part of his audience. Chaplin later said The Immigrant "touched me more than any film I've made," a notable statement from the creator of the heart-tugging The Kid (1921) and City Lights (1931).
The Immigrant was shot by Roland "Rollie" Totheroh, Chaplin's favorite cameraman and the one person other than Chaplin's brother Syd with whom he had the longest working relationship. The two met at Essanay Studios in 1915, where Totheroh made his first two films, both Westerns. They joined forces for Work (1915), and from that point on Totheroh worked for no one else, staying on as cinematographer for every Chaplin film through Monsieur Verdoux. He filmed one other picture, the independently produced Song of My Heart (1948), before retiring.
The Immigrant was Chaplin's penultimate film with Mutual. After The Adventurer (1917), he moved to First National. The Mutual pictures, however, were really where he solidified his characters, themes, and directing style, and the twelve shorts he made there were so successful, critically and commercially, they influenced filmmakers for many years to come.

(San Antonio, TX)
I was a passenger in car accident on my 21st birthday in December 2014. The accident was 100% the driver's fault. I hit the dashboard and busted my knee open, got 21 stitches and a ugly scar. I missed 3 days of work and was on crutches/leg brace for a month, along with physical therapy for a month.
My medical bills total $6,400. I have completed all medical treatment and was taking pain pills every day after the accident for 2 months. Now 9 months later, I am down to taking pain pills 2x week, on long days, lots of activity etc.
I understand that to arrive at an appropriate settlement amount I should multiply the amount by 2-5x, but I'm not sure what to multiply my specific case by. Any perspective you can give would be much appreciated? How much should I demand? Thanks.
Anonymous (San Antonio, TX):
From the facts you present, your injuries, while serious, did not include any fractures, dislocations, cartilage or tendon damage, or other debilitating forms of knee injury. You did though, receive 26 stitches and received an "ugly scar."
You also state you "missed 3 days of work and was on crutches/leg brace for a month, along with physical therapy for a month."
Your injuries are somewhere between "soft tissue" and "hard injuries." Hard injuries normally include fractures, torn cartilage, head trauma, permanent scars and the like. These injuries also normally include inpatient hospitalization. Soft tissue injuries are those which aren't invasive in nature and which require primarily therapy and convalescence.
You refer to your medical bills. If those medical bills are primarily chiropractic or therapeutic in nature, then the amount of money you can expect from the insurance company will be substantially less than if your medical bills were a result of surgery, a long hospital stay, or other serious medical treatment.
For example, if the $6,400 in medical bills you speak of primarily represented chiropractic and physical therapy bills, the claims adjuster might reduce the offer by about half.
The adjuster already has some leverage on you. He or she knows you don't have an attorney. As a result, the adjuster knows you very likely won't go to trial. Theoretically, the adjuster can say "take it or leave it." While there is some truth to that, adjusters are bound to be reasonably fair when dealing with "pro se" injury victims.
However, you can be confident the amount offered to you will be substantially less than the amount which might be offered to an attorney, especially an experienced personal injury attorney. Review these negotiation articles to learn how to handle this aspect of the claims process.
When it comes to how insurance companies determine settlement amounts there is no industry-wide standard. Different insurance companies have different procedures.
Many insurance companies rely on a software program called Colossus. Other insurance companies rely on different proprietary software. Colossus is believed to be used by most of the top auto insurance companies to "calculate" the settlement amount for a minor to moderate car accident.
Insurance companies which are said to use Colossus include Aetna, Allstate, CNA, Erie, Farmers, Metropolitan, Ohio Casualty, The Hartford, MetLife, Travelers, USAA and Zurich.
In your case, you would not be unreasonable to demand a settlement in the mount of four times your medical bills. Once again, if those medical bills are primarily chiropractic or therapeutic in nature, you can expect to be offered not much more than 1.5 to 2 times the amount of those bills.
The above is general information. Laws change frequently, and across jurisdictions. You should get a personalized case evaluation from an attorney licensed in your state. Find a local attorney to give you a free case review here, or call (888) 647-2490.

Dispute Processes by Michael Palmer
Book DescriptionThis wide-ranging study considers the primary forms of decision-making - negotiation, mediation, and umpiring - in the context of rapidly changing discourses and practices of civil justice across many jurisdictions. Much contemporary discussion in this field, and associated projects of institutional design, are taking place under the wide ranging but imprecise label of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). If a common linking theme is sought, the authors argue that this must lie in a general shift of priorities as between judgement and settlement in ideological terms. This new edition brings together and analyses a wide range of materials dealing with dispute processes and the current debates on civil justice. With the help of a selection of texts beyond those ordinarily found in the emerging alternative dispute resolution literature it provides a broad, comparative perspective on modes of handling civil disputes, with the principal focus on the central processes of negotiation and mediation.
