Download or read book Digital Justice written by Ethan Katsh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving access to justice has been an ongoing process, and on-demand justice should be a natural part of our increasingly on-demand society. What can we do for example when Facebook blocks our account, we're harassed on Twitter, discover that our credit report contains errors, or receive a negative review on Airbnb? How do we effectively resolve these and other such issues? Digital Justice introduces the reader to new technological tools to resolve and prevent disputes bringing dispute resolution to cyberspace, where those who would never look to a court for assistance can find help for instance via a smartphone. The authors focus particular attention on five areas that have seen great innovation as well as large volumes of disputes: ecommerce, healthcare, social media, labor, and the courts. As conflicts escalate with the increase in innovation, the authors emphasize the need for new dispute resolution processes and new ways to avoid disputes, something that has been ignored by those seeking to improve access to justice in the past.

Download or read book The Global Public Management Revolution written by Donald F. Kettl and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-05-24 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last quarter century, governments around the world have launched ambitious efforts to reform how they manage their programs. Citizens have demanded smaller, cheaper, more effective governments. They have also asked for more programs and better services. To resolve this paradox, governments have experimented with scores of ideas to be more productive, improve performance, and reduce costs. In this new edition of T he Global Public Management Revolution, Donald F. Kettl charts the basic models of reform that are being employed worldwide. Reviewing the standard strategies and tactics behind these reforms, Kettl identifies six common core ideas: the search for greater productivity; more public reliance on private markets; a stronger orientation toward service; more decentralization from national to subnational governments; increased capacity to devise and track public policy; and tactics to enhance accountability for results. Kettl predicts that reform and reinvention will likely become mantras for governments of all stripes. Ultimately, this strategy means coupling the reform impulse with governance—government's increasingly important relationship with civil society and the institutions that shape modern life.

Download or read book Les Modes Alternatifs de Reglement Des Conflits 1ere Edition written by Loic Cadiet and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "RAPPEL - RAPPEL - RAPPEL" L'expression "Modes alternatifs de reglement des conflits" est apparue au milieu des annees 1990 comme un equivalent francais de la notion americaine d'"Alternative Dispute Resolution." Si l'expression est recente, la realite contemporaine qu'elle designe a de tres vieilles racines (droit romain). Les nouveautes s'observent plutot dans l'usage qui est fait de la technique contractuelle: les parties recourent meme de plus en plus a la convention, en amont du litige, comme instrument d'anticipation du reglement de leur differend. Le developpement contemporain des MARC tient a l'effet conjugue de deux facteurs. Ce que l'on nomme la "crise de la justice," caracterisee par l'explosion de la demande judiciaire et l'encombrement des juridictions qui en resulte, explique bien sur l'engouement contemporain pour les MARC. Mais, dans l'affirmation du phenomene, il y a sans doute plus, qui touche a l'evolution des modes de regulation sociale. Le declin du legicentrisme est de nature a favoriser la contractualisation des rapports sociaux, y compris la contractualisation des litiges. Etat d'esprit plus que categorie juridique, les MARC designent, de maniere generale, l'ensemble des procedes conduisant a une solution amiable des conflits, par opposition aux modes juridictionnels, traditionnellement concus comme des modes autoritaires: le juge "tranche" le litige conformement aux regles de droit qui lui sont applicables. Partant de la, le perimetre des MARC est plus ou moins largement defini. D'abord concus comme une alternative a la solution judiciaire du litige, les MARC se sont developpes y compris devant le juge lui-meme, de sorte que ce ne sont plus les modes judiciaires et les modes amiables qu'il faut opposer, mais les modes juridictionnels et les modes alternatifs qui peuvent donc etre judiciaires (conciliation judiciaire, mediation judiciaire, amiable composition judiciaire) aussi bien qu'extrajudiciaires (arbitrage, conciliation et mediation conventionnelles).

Download or read book The New Regulatory Framework for Consumer Dispute Resolution written by Pablo Cortés and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer out-of-court redress in the European Union is experiencing a significant transformation; indeed the current changes are the most important that have occurred in the history of the EU. This is due to the recent implementation of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Directive 2013/11/EU and the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Regulation (EU) 2013/524. The Directive ensures the availability of quality ADR schemes and sets information obligations on businesses, and the Regulation enables the resolution of consumer disputes through a pan European ODR platform. The New Regulatory Framework for Consumer Dispute Resolution examines the impact of the new EU law in the field of consumer redress. Part I of the volume examines the new European legal framework and the main methods of consumer redress, including mediation, arbitration, and ombudsman schemes. Part II analyses the implementation of the ADR Directive in nine Member States with very different legal cultures in consumer redress, namely: Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK, as well as the distinct approach taken in the US. Part III evaluates new trends in consumer ADR (CDR) by identifying best practices and looking at future trends in the field. In particular, it offers a vision of the future of CDR which is more than a mere dispute resolution tool, it poses a model on dispute system design for CDR, it examines the challenges of cross-border disputes, it proposes a strategy to promote mediation, and it identifies good practices of CDR and collective redress. The book concludes by calling for the mandatory participation of traders in CDR.

Download or read book The New Division of Labor written by Frank Levy and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the current recession ends, many workers will not be returning to the jobs they once held--those jobs are gone. In The New Division of Labor, Frank Levy and Richard Murnane show how computers are changing the employment landscape and how the right kinds of education can ease the transition to the new job market. The book tells stories of people at work--a high-end financial advisor, a customer service representative, a pair of successful chefs, a cardiologist, an automotive mechanic, the author Victor Hugo, floor traders in a London financial exchange. The authors merge these stories with insights from cognitive science, computer science, and economics to show how computers are enhancing productivity in many jobs even as they eliminate other jobs--both directly and by sending work offshore. At greatest risk are jobs that can be expressed in programmable rules--blue collar, clerical, and similar work that requires moderate skills and used to pay middle-class wages. The loss of these jobs leaves a growing division between those who can and cannot earn a good living in the computerized economy. Left unchecked, the division threatens the nation's democratic institutions. The nation's challenge is to recognize this division and to prepare the population for the high-wage/high-skilled jobs that are rapidly growing in number--jobs involving extensive problem solving and interpersonal communication. Using detailed examples--a second grade classroom, an IBM managerial training program, Cisco Networking Academies--the authors describe how these skills can be taught and how our adjustment to the computerized workplace can begin in earnest.

Download or read book Dialogue based Teaching written by Olga Dysthe and published by Fagbokforlaget. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of dialogue-based teaching as described in this book, is a conviction that learning takes place when students' curiosity and creativity are engaged through conversation and practical-aesthetic activity. By exploring seven cases, Dysthe, Bernhardt and Esbjorn demonstrate how experienced museum educators challenge groups of children and youth to explore a variety of topics, exchange views, and develop new perspectives. The museum educators in this book strive to connect with children's everyday life-worlds, as well as to draw out the multivoicedness that is latent in every group. The authors use seven teaching sequences from different art museums to reveal what dialogue-based teaching looks like in practice. They show how art and design is a springboard to engage students in dialogue, not only about art itself, but about subjects such as history, society, sustainability and identity. These case descriptions illuminate the power and process of dialogue-based education in the art museum and generate insights about learning that are relevant to any museum or classroom setting - in all subjects and at all levels.
