Beyond Winning by Robert H. Mnookin,Scott R. Peppet,Andrew S. Tulumello Pdf
Conflict is inevitable, in both deals and disputes. Yet when clients call in the lawyers to haggle over who gets how much of the pie, traditional hard-bargaining tactics can lead to ruin. Too often, deals blow up, cases don’t settle, relationships fall apart, justice is delayed. Beyond Winning charts a way out of our current crisis of confidence in the legal system. It offers a fresh look at negotiation, aimed at helping lawyers turn disputes into deals, and deals into better deals, through practical, tough-minded problem-solving techniques. In this step-by-step guide to conflict resolution, the authors describe the many obstacles that can derail a legal negotiation, both behind the bargaining table with one’s own client and across the table with the other side. They offer clear, candid advice about ways lawyers can search for beneficial trades, enlarge the scope of interests, improve communication, minimize transaction costs, and leave both sides better off than before. But lawyers cannot do the job alone. People who hire lawyers must help change the game from conflict to collaboration. The entrepreneur structuring a joint venture, the plaintiff embroiled in a civil suit, the CEO negotiating an employment contract, the real estate developer concerned with environmental hazards, the parent considering a custody battle—clients who understand the pressures and incentives a lawyer faces can work more effectively within the legal system to promote their own best interests. Attorneys exhausted by the trench warfare of cases that drag on for years will find here a positive, proven approach to revitalizing their profession.

The Handbook of Dispute Resolution by Michael L. Moffitt,Robert C. Bordone Pdf
This volume is an essential, cutting-edge reference for all practitioners, students, and teachers in the field of dispute resolution. Each chapter was written specifically for this collection and has never before been published. The contributors--drawn from a wide range of academic disciplines--contains many of the most prominent names in dispute resolution today, including Frank E. A. Sander, Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Bruce Patton, Lawrence Susskind, Ethan Katsh, Deborah Kolb, and Max Bazerman. The Handbook of Dispute Resolution contains the most current thinking about dispute resolution. It synthesizes more than thirty years of research into cogent, practitioner-focused chapters that assume no previous background in the field. At the same time, the book offers path-breaking research and theory that will interest those who have been immersed in the study or practice of dispute resolution for years. The Handbook also offers insights on how to understand disputants. It explores how personality factors, emotions, concerns about identity, relationship dynamics, and perceptions contribute to the escalation of disputes. The volume also explains some of the lessons available from viewing disputes through the lens of gender and cultural differences.
A beloved crime reporter revisits some of her biggest assignments and passes judgement on our judicial system--especially its judges. When Christie Blatchford wandered into a Toronto courtroom in 1978 for the start of the first criminal trial she would cover as a newspaper reporter, little did she know she was also at the start of a self-imposed life sentence. She has been reporting from Canadian courtrooms for the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and the National Post ever since. Back in '78, she loved the courts, lawyers and judges, and that persisted for many years. But slowly, surely, she suffered a loss of faith. What happened? It was at the Mike Duffy trial she had the epiphany: That judges are the new senators, unelected, unaccountable and overly entitled. Yet unlike senators, they continue to get away with it because any questioning by government or its agents is deemed an intrusion onto judicial independence. In her explosive new book, Christie Blatchford revisits trials from throughout her career and asks the hard questions--about judges playing with the truth--through editing of criminal records, whitewashing of criminal records, pre-trial rulings that kick out evidence the jury can't hear. She discusses bad or troubled judges--how and why they get picked, and what can be done about them. And shows how judges are handmaidens to the state, as in the Bernardo trial when a small-town lawyer and an intellectual writer were pursued with more vigor than Karla Homolka. For anyone interested in the political and judicial fabric of this country, Life Sentence is a remarkable, argumentative, insightful and important book.

101 Ways to Stay Out of Court by Shari Olefson Pdf
Each of us navigates dozens of little daily situations that accumulate into the literally thousands of understandings and agreements that we will make and receive during our adult lifetimes-and which, for the most part, happen without a hitch. From time to time, however, things don't go as planned, and when that happens, life's little legal landmines get our attention. You love your dry cleaner...then he loses your favorite suit. That oak tree in your neighbor's yard provides great shade for your barbecues...until it falls through your roof. You've been looking forward to your vacation for months...but the airline oversells your flight and you find yourself booted. You've clicked that innocuous "I Agree" button, accepting the voluminous terms for a new computer program dozens of times...but this one winds up crashing your hard drive. These and the other daily little legal landmines you'll find in this book explain why even when we're totally innocent and minding our own busi-ness, we can still find ourselves in the blink of an eye in small claims court. Folks have become so accustomed to threatening to "take you to court" that the accessibility of small claims courts may be part of the reason we sometimes don't try hard enough (or often enough) to resolve smaller disputes amongst ourselves. Make no mistake, courtrooms are not always level playing fields. To be totally blunt, what actually happened doesn't even matter; the only things that matter are what you can prove to the judge's satisfaction. If the judge feels you can prove the steps or elements needed to win, you will. If she doesn't, you won't. Only the judge's opinion matters. Because you never know for sure what the judge will think, you can never be sure what your outcome will be. Period. But let's say you go to court, win, and can actually collect what you're owed. Doesn't that make going to small claims court worthwhile? Do the math. After all the time, emotions, relationship damage, and cold hard cash, even a win can still be a net loss. And there's a reason for that: our court-rooms were never meant to be a forum for resolving every little legal landmine. Thinking about suing in small claims court? Think again, because the chances are you won't get the money you want. - Less than a third of lawsuits result in the person who sued re-ceiving the full amount of money they sued for. - One in five people who sue for money get less than half of what they sued for. - Over a quarter of people who sue for money get no money at all. So why not do everything you can to try to work it out, and stay out of court, in the first place? For most of us, steering clear of small claims court requires only three things: knowing how to spot life's little legal landmines; understanding a few basic legal concepts; and applying simple negotiation strategies. 101 Ways to Stay Out of Court covers all of this simply and quickly. Learn what type of case or 'cause of action' your claim falls under and the legal 'elements' you'll need to prove in order to win. Then learn some basic but highly effective negotiating strategies to help cinch the deal and what you need to know about mediation, a cost effective alternative to taking someone to court. The legal landmines included in this volume 1 are smartly organized into three sections based on when and where they typically occur; in your home, while you're shopping and running errands, and in the course of your travel, transportation and entertainment. In the Appendix you'll find a handy reference guide to help you navigate virtually any other legal land mine you may encounter!
