Provision of information ("friend-of-the-court" brief) on a point of law or some other aspect of a case under review to assist the Tribunal in deciding a matter before it. The Tribunal decides whether to admit the information.
Request by a party (see Appellant, below) to affirm, reverse, modify or remand a UNDT or UNRWA DT judgment. An appeal may only be filed on a number of specific grounds.
Party (a staff member or the respondent) appealing a judgment of the UNDT or UNRWA DT; a participant of the Pension Fund appealing a decision of the Pension Fund or an agency or entity that has accepted the UNAT's jurisdiction.
A person who has submitted an application before the UNDT or UNRWA DT requesting judgment on a contested decision.

Case management
The [further] preparation of the case until it is ready for judgment.
Correction by the relevant Tribunal of a clerical or arithmetical mistake, or of an error arising from an accidental slip or omission, either upon an application made by either party, or on the Tribunal's own initiative.
A legal adviser; a term used to refer to lawyers in a case. In the UN internal justice system it is a representative of a party in a matter before a Tribunal.
Counsel for a staff member (or former staff member or affected dependant of a staff member) is often a legal officer of the Office of Staff Legal Assistance (OSLA) or of the Legal Office of Staff Assistance (LOSA) at UNRWA but may also be an outside attorney or a volunteer staff member or former staff member. In some cases staff members may choose to serve as their own counsel and represent themselves (pro se).
Counsel for the Secretary-General of the United Nations or Head of an agency, fund or programme (Administration) is normally a lawyer staff member of the Administrative Law Section (ALS) or Office of Legal Affairs (OLA) in the UN secretariat, or of the respective legal office of an agency, fund or programme.
When an appeal has been filed by one of the parties (see Appellant, above), requesting that UNAT review a decision made by the UNDT or UNRWA DT, the other party may also file an appeal for review of the decision. The second appeal is called a cross-appeal.

Management Evaluation
An evaluation of whether an administrative decision(s) has been taken in conformity with the Staff Regulations and Rules, administrative guidance, and relevant jurisprudence.
The purpose of this step is to give management a chance to correct itself and/or provide acceptable remedies, where appropriate, and to reduce the number of cases that proceed to formal litigation.
Office of Administration of Justice (OAJ)
The OAJ is an independent office responsible for the overall coordination of the formal system of administration of justice and for contributing to its functioning in a fair, transparent and efficient manner. The OAJ is headed by an Executive Director who is independent from the Secretary-General in this function, and who advises the Secretary-General on systemic issues of the internal justice system and makes recommendations on matters that may improve the functioning of the system of administration of justice. The Executive Director is appointed by the Secretary-General. The Executive Director's office provides support to the Internal Justice Council, as necessary.
The OAJ also includes the staff members of the Registries for the Appeals and Dispute Tribunals and of the Office of Staff Legal Assistance. OAJ provides substantive, technical and administrative support to the judges of the UNAT and UNDT through the registries. The work of the Principal Registrar, Registrars and Registry teams supporting the judges is exclusively subject to the direction of the judges of the tribunals in all judicial matters. The Office of Staff Legal Assistance is composed of lawyers, bound by the Code of Conduct for legal representatives and litigants, who advise and represent their clients independently from the Secretary-General.
Office of Staff Legal Assistance (OSLA)
OSLA provides legal advice to serving or former staff members who wish to appeal an administrative decision, or who are subject to disciplinary action. For this purpose, there is an Office of Staff Legal Assistance, staffed by full-time legal officers at Headquarters, as well as in Geneva, Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Beirut. This Office replaces the Panels of Counsel. At any stage of a dispute, or even in anticipation of a dispute, a staff member may seek advice and assistance from legal officers in the Office of Staff Legal Assistance. The legal officers can advise on the legal merits of a case and what options the staff member might have. If a staff member chooses to proceed with a case in the formal system, the Office of Staff Legal Assistance will assist throughout the process.
The Office of Staff Legal Assistance is an entity of the Office of Administration of Justice.
Any decision of the judge taken in the course of the proceedings of the case, which is not a final disposition of a substantive issue of a case.
Fit for acceptance by a legal body. Examples of cases that are not receivable include those not submitted within relevant time limits where no exceptional circumstances for the late submission exist, or cases that are not within the jurisdiction of the relevant legal body to consider.
Head of the Registry of a Tribunal that facilitates the work of that Tribunal and its judges. The UNDT has a Registrar in each of its three locations: New York, Geneva and Nairobi. The UNAT has one Registrar based in New York. The Principal Registrar in the Office of Administration of Justice in New York oversees the work of the Registries of both Tribunals.

Before the UNDT, the Respondent is normally the Secretary-General of the United Nations or Head of the agency, fund or programme (Administration) against which a staff member (or former staff member or affected dependant of a staff member) has submitted an application requesting judgment on a contested decision. Before the UNAT, the Respondent will either be the Administration or the staff member, depending on which party initiated the appeal.
Review by the relevant Tribunal of a judgment, to take into account a decisive new fact that was discovered after the judgment was rendered and that was not known to the Tribunal or to the party requesting revision.
Status Conference
See Directions Hearing.
Suspension of Action
A particular proceeding before the UNDT or UNRWA DT initiated by a staff member, who seeks a temporary suspension of an administrative decision s/he contests while the case is awaiting the outcome of a management evaluation or a judgment of the UNDT or UNRWA DT. A suspension of action is only granted if certain criteria are satisfied, namely if 1) the contested decision appears to be unlawful, 2) in case of particular urgency, and 3) where implementing the decision would cause irreparable harm.
UN Appeals Tribunal (UNAT)
Decisions by the Dispute Tribunal or UNRWA Dispute Tribunal may be appealed, either by staff or the Administration, to the United Nations Appeals Tribunal. The Statute of the Appeals Tribunal allows for appeals in cases where it is alleged that the UN Dispute Tribunal or UNRWA Dispute Tribunal has either exceeded its jurisdiction or failed to exercise it; or that it has erred on a question of fact or law or procedure.
The Appeals Tribunal is composed of seven judges, and its Registry is based in New York.
UN Dispute Tribunal (UNDT)
UNDT is the first instance in the formal two-tier system to which staff members can formally dispute an administrative decision taken against him/her. When - where necessary - management evaluation is not to the satisfaction of the staff member, the staff member can file an application to the United Nations Dispute Tribunal, as a court of first instance. The UN Dispute Tribunal operates on a full-time basis and is comprised of five professional judges, three full-time and two half-time. It has registries in New York, Geneva and Nairobi.
The UN Dispute Tribunal will examine the facts of the case, and will conduct, where necessary, oral proceedings. These will normally be held in public. The judgments of the Dispute Tribunal are binding. Both the staff member and the administration have the right to appeal a judgment rendered by the UN Dispute Tribunal to the UN Appeals Tribunal, in accordance with that Tribunal's statute.

Kaitlyn Bohlin '07 works to preserve the traditional art of Quechua weavers.
What do you do after graduation if you've majored in English and Spanish, but you don't want to teach or write?
Kaitlyn Bohlin '07 didn't know either. So she got on the Web and searched idealist.org, a site that serves as a kind of Craigslist of nonprofit opportunities. Before long, she had an answer to her question: Awamaki.
A nonprofit organization in Ollantaytambo, a small town in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas, Awamaki is, at heart, a women's weaving cooperative.
"As a knitter and quilter, I was really excited about working for a nonprofit largely based in fiber arts and women's rights," Bohlin said, "and I would get to speak Spanish."
She planned to arrive in Peru in the fall of 2008. But another fall changed that plan.
Long recovery
While working that summer in Zion National Park, Bohlin, an experienced rock climber, fell 100 feet. Her rehabilitation—physical, emotional and economic—took two years.
"It was a dark time," she said. "But I gained both professional skills, through a job that I took during my recovery, and spiritual resources that have made my time in Peru much richer."
Since August 2010, Bohlin has worked for Awamaki, now as its programs director, helping the dozens of people who come to volunteer for the organization—not only in the weaving cooperative, but in its health and education services, too—have a satisfying experience. More recently she has also become Awamaki's tours coordinator.
"I love to travel," she said, "and I've seen enough tourism at its worst that I want to contribute to positive, sustainable tourism."
For travelers who want an experience of the culture and people who live in the shadow of Machu Picchu that's deeper than what typical travel agency tours provide, Bohlin arranges visits to Quechuan villages in the highlands, workshops with traditional artisans, even homestays with indigenous families.
Learning from the Quechua
In October she'll help coordinate Awamaki's second annual weaving retreat. Over 14 days, fiber enthusiasts will be immersed in the traditional culture of the Sacred Valley. Besides trips to Inca ruins and museums, retreat goers will meet and learn from Quechuan women their ancestral art: spinning with the Andean drop spindle, weaving on a backstrap loom intricate patterns particular to each village, and dyeing with natural pigments. Those who want more interaction can stay with a weaver and her family. There's also a trip with a well-known textile artist to find the vibrant colors of Andean textiles hidden in trees and plants of the cloud forest.
"This is one of the world's most fascinating fiber arts communities," Bohlin said. "Retreat participants can see it up close and ask questions. Then they begin to see their own communities back home with fresh eyes."
Sustaining the art
The weaving retreat serves the Quechuan women, too. It and Awamaki's ongoing weaving cooperative are providing the weavers in impoverished highland villages with a more stable income—and with hope that their traditional art, once in danger of dying out, can still flourish.
Helping all this happen smoothly, satisfyingly, has thrown Bohlin into a steep learning curve—exactly what she wanted.
"I'm gaining professional skills here at a faster rate than if I had entered the job market in the States as an English and Spanish major," she said. "The work experience has been fantastic. I love speaking Spanish. And I wake up in the morning looking at green mountains with beautiful Inca ruins. That kind of seals the deal!"
The Awamaki Weaving Retreat is Oct. 14–27. For more information, visit www.awamaki.org.

Colin Greening scored 7:39 into double overtime, and the Ottawa Senators rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that cut their series deficit to 2-1 on Sunday night.
Daniel Alfredsson got Ottawa even 1-1 by scoring a short-handed goal with 29 seconds left in regulation just after the Senators pulled goalie Craig Anderson for an extra skater.
Anderson made 49 saves, including 18 after regulation. Tomas Vokoun stopped 46 shots for Pittsburgh and took his first loss (4-1) since taking over for No. 1 Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series will be in Ottawa on Wednesday.
Tyler Kennedy scored with just over a minute to play in the second period to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead. That goal stood up until Alfredsson tied it in the closing seconds of the third.
