The Practice of Mediation: A Video Integrated Text, 2nd Edition

Published: June 2012


This widely-adopted mediation text was the first to combine in-depth textual analysis of the mediation process with video case studies illustrating the stages of the mediation process and the many constituent skills of effective mediators. The Practice of Mediation, Second Edition expands that video content and makes it available to students online or in a seamless e-book format, with a simple click of an icon. The book has quickly become the text of choice in mediation clinics and mediation simulation courses.

Features of the second edition:

  • All original text, written in an accessible and conversational style. Used by many first-time mediation instructors as well as by highly experienced teachers and trainers.
  • Provides students with a sophisticated conceptual understanding of the negotiation process and the cognitive, psychological and strategic barriers to conflict resolution.
  • Teaches about the mediation process “from the inside out,” breaking down the skills of effective mediation into their component parts.
  • Closely analyzes the major ethical and role issues that mediators encounter “on the ground.” Includes a video-driven chapter on representation of clients in mediation.
  • Recognizes and prepares students for all of the major approaches to mediation.
  • Contains seven hours of video, depicting nine professional mediators, with different backgrounds and orientations, mediating three different cases, often with very different results.
  • The video extracts are fully integrated with the text, enabling students to “see” what they are reading about as they read it, and enabling instructors to save precious classroom time by assigning video extracts to be viewed and analyzed outside of class.
  • The three video case studies are all based on real mediated disputes.
  • In these unscripted mediations, the mediators and lawyers perform as they would in an actual case. Professional actors portray the role of the disputants in an extremely realistic and believable fashion. In addition to illustrating a very wide range of mediator techniques, the video includes an extended comparative example of facilitative and evaluative mediation of the same matter.
  • The Teacher's Manual includes detailed, flexible chapter-by-chapter teaching notes; a wide variety of simulations and mini-role-plays from which to choose (many with instructor debriefing notes); sample syllabi and suggestions for how the book can be used in a variety ofcourse configurations; transcripts of the video extracts that instructors can assign to students for further “micro-analysis,” plus author commentary; andassorted additional course information material and handouts.

The Fair and Equitable Treatment Standard: A Guide to NAFTA Case Law on Article 1105

Published: October 2013


Since the entry into force of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, several arbitral tribunals have rendered awards dealing with claims of breach of Article 1105. Some of these awards have been very controversial and have had a tremendous impact on the development of the concept of fair and equitable treatment (FET) and the evolution of international investment law. Yet, in spite of the fundamental importance of these awards, no comprehensive study had been undertaken to determine the meaning and the content of the FET standard under NAFTA Article 1105.

This book’s systematic analysis of the provision and its case law fills this analytical gap. Because Article 1105 is in many ways different from typical FET clauses contained within most investment treaties, the author examines the particular parameters under which it must be interpreted. He also analyzes how these specific features have influenced NAFTA tribunals’ interpretation of the provision, and how their assessments differ from awards rendered by other tribunals outside NAFTA.

Among the issues treated in the course of the analysis are the following:

  • The origin, development, nature and content of the concept of the ‘minimum standard of treatment’ and its interaction with the FET standard
  • The specific parameters under which Article 1105 must be interpreted, including contextual elements such as subsequent agreement and practice between the NAFTA Parties on matters of interpretation
  • The context in which the Free Trade Commission issued its Note of Interpretation in 2001 and how NAFTA tribunals have applied it
  • Whether or not the concepts of legitimate expectations, transparency, arbitrary conduct, discriminatory conduct, good faith, denial of justice, and due process have been considered by NAFTA tribunals as specific elements of protection to be accorded to investors under Article 1105
  • The many facets of these elements and the threshold of severity that NAFTA tribunals have required for finding a breach of Article 1105
  • The interaction between Article 1105 and other NAFTA provisions on national treatment, Most-Favored-Nation treatment, and expropriation
  • How NAFTA tribunals have assessed damages for breach of Article 1105

This comprehensive guide to NAFTA case law on Article 1105 is an important contribution to the on-going controversial debate about the scope and content of the FET standard under international law. It will be of great interest to counsel for investors and States as well as to arbitrators, academics and anyone interested in investor-State arbitration.

Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs (6th Edition) (U.S.)

Author: Robert Ricketts and Larry Tunnell

Discusses the complex issues involving partnership taxation with utmost clarity. It uses hundreds of illustrative examples, practice observations, helpful charts and insightful explanations to make even the most difficult concepts understandable. The book reflects the authors' penchant for communicating the pertinent facts in very direct language and creating a context for understanding the multifaceted issues and applying them to practice.

This new edition fully reflects all the latest developments in this complex area. These include changes affecting:

  • partnership basis adjustments
  • transfers to partnerships of property with built-in losses
  • sale of an interest in a partnership with built-in loss property
  • disproportionate distributions from partnerships with built-in loss property
  • expensing and amortization of partnership organizational expenses
  • partnership treatment of the deduction for domestic production activities
  • recognition of cancellation-of-indebtedness income, and more

In six parts, Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs covers the critical aspects of this complicated area, with individual parts focusing on partnership characteristics, funding, taxation of operations, partner's share of partnership debt, disposition of partnership interest, and distributions. From choice-of-entity considerations to sales and liquidations, the entire breadth of partnership and LLC taxation is covered. Special attention is given throughout to the complex inter-workings of rules that bind, tax and control these entity operations.

In the book's first part focused on preliminary considerations, the basic underpinnings are presented covering key areas such as the "check the box" rules, "anti-abuse" rules, investment joint venture rules, the application of partnership taxation to LLCs, liability issues, passive loss limitations, audit issues, self-employment taxes, IRS classification, tax year and accounting method selection, and much more.

The second part of Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs looks at property contributions and disguised sales, transactions between partner and partnership, and formation and start-up expenses. A special summary table for the tax treatment of pre-opening expenses is included.

Next, the central core of the book explains the taxation of operations including partnership income rules, the pass-through concept, and the partner's share of income and debt. Specific rules, reporting and compliance issues are thoroughly addressed. Form 1065 and schedules L, M-1, M-2, K and K-1 are also explained.

Part four covers partner's share of partnership debt, while disposition of a partnership interest is the subject of the fifth part of Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs. This section covers the amount and character of

Mediating Justice: Legal Dispute Negotiations, 2nd Edition

Published: December 2011


Mediating Justice: Legal Dispute Negotiations, 2nd Edition provides the most comprehensive, practical, and theoretical framework for mediating disputes over rights in Canada. One of the unique features of this book is that it brings together, in one source, all of the multi-disciplinary literature on negotiation and mediation in the important context of conflicts over rights. The central theme is the power of authentic "talk" and "listening" in the resolution of our most difficult disputes.

The author provides strategic advice on the best dispute resolution practices and the role of lawyers and law in legal dispute negotiations. Practitioners will develop an enhanced understanding of the dynamics of dispute resolution and the tailoring of facilitative practices to particular disputes or barriers for successful interventions.

This resource was written for lawyers, mediators, and other conflict resolution professionals, such as human resource practitioners, judges, and tribunal members. As well, particular attention was also paid to law students.

What's included:

  • An update of the most recent multi-disciplinary literature on dispute resolution in one accessible source;
  • An analysis of a wide range of cutting-edge techniques for intervening in legal disputes, particularly those that are emotional or involving many parties;
  • Extensive updates on the role of emotions, ethics, and on-line technology in conflict resolution;
  • Descriptions of the practice routines of experienced negotiators and mediators in preparing to intervene;
  • A review of new and evolving mediation theories; and
  • An analysis of recent developments in the law pertaining to the confidentiality of mediated settlement discussions.

About the Author
The Honourable George W. Adams, Q.C. is one of Canada's most experienced professional mediators. He is an award winning author as well as a former superior court judge, law professor, agency head, senior bureaucrat, and legal practitioner. He has used Mediating Justice to educate law students at the University of Toronto School of Law in negotiation theory and practice and to provide mediation training to senior administrative tribunal members and lawyers.

Dubbed the "guru" of mediation by the National Post, Adams has mediated in a vast range of legal conflict situations. In 1997 he resigned from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, in a rare instance of a judge stepping down from the bench to establish a neutral dispute resolution practice.

International Arbitration and Mediation: A Practical Guide

Published: February 2010


Optimising the outcome of disputes connected with international business forms the subject matter of International Arbitration and Mediation: A Practical Guide.

Rather than adopt an idealised approach of pursuing victories at any cost, the authors help parties predict the realistic consequences (and costs) of their decisions and provide a step-by-step guide to opportunities to influence the course of a dispute as it unfolds in its various stages. They discuss techniques for productively resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, frequently illustrating critical steps through real-world examples drawn from past experiences.

The book is intended as an easily accessible desktop resource for lawyers who regularly counsel businesses when negotiating international deals, and for those who represent the same clients in achieving a successful resolution when disputes emerge.

The practical guidance includes:

  • How to determine which dispute resolution clauses work best for different international contracts, and how to negotiate those clauses
  • What preliminary steps parties should consider to preserve their rights when a dispute arises
  • Whether and how to appoint counsel
  • When and how to perform an early case assessment (ECA)
  • How to organise and conduct international mediations and arbitration proceedings
  • How to enforce (or set aside) arbitral awards
  • Securing the benefit of additional protections available through investment treaties

The text is divided into chapters that follow the life cycle of an international commercial dispute as seen through the eyes of the parties, from when they agree how to resolve disputes in their contracts to the endgame of enforcement. Additionally, the appendices include a number of model submissions for further reference.

Governmental GAAP Practice Manual (2015) (U.S.)

Author: Eric S. Berman, CPA

Demonstrates in a detailed manner how a governmental entity can implement the complex standards established by GASB-34 and beyond through a worksheet approach. (A companion publication, Governmental GAAP Guide, discusses financial accounting and reporting standards necessary to prepare the basic external financial statements of a governmental entity.) The emphasis of Governmental GAAP Practice Manual is on the process of preparing financial statements.

Chapter 1 of the Governmental GAAP Practice Manual provides a detailed analysis of the interrelationship between the modified accrual basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting. Included is a comprehensive checklist of transactions and events that typically require a worksheet entry. Starting in Chapter 2 is a comprehensive illustration that continues through the remaining chapters of the book. For governmental funds, a variety of transactions are illustrated and journalized in Chapters 2 through 6, which result in a year-end trial balance for each individual fund based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. In Chapter 14, these trial balances are used as the basis for developing the information needed to prepare the fund financial statements.

Governmental GAAP Practice Manual (2014) (US)

Demonstrates in a detailed manner how a governmental entity can implement the complex standards established by GASB-34 and beyond through a worksheet approach. (A companion publication, Governmental GAAP Guide, discusses financial accounting and reporting standards necessary to prepare the basic external financial statements of a governmental entity.) The emphasis of Governmental GAAP Practice Manual is on the process of preparing financial statements.

Chapter 1 provides a detailed analysis of the interrelationship between the modified accrual basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting. Included is a comprehensive checklist of transactions and events that typically require a worksheet entry. Starting in Chapter 2 is a comprehensive illustration that continues through the remaining chapters of the book. For governmental funds, a variety of transactions are illustrated and journalized in Chapters 2 through 6, which result in a year-end trial balance for each individual fund based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. In Chapter 14, these trial balances are used as the basis for developing the information needed to prepare the fund financial statements. Chapter 16 illustrates the worksheet methodology for converting the information to the accrual basis.

A similar approach is used for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
