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.

It would be hard to find a more useful guide to international sales agreements. Compared to domestic transactions, the risks associated are greatly multiplied and it is a rare international sales agreement that can rely on minor variations of standard terms, as is so often the case in domestic agreements. Foreign laws, export/import and currency exchange controls, treaties, transit issues, inspection of goods, insurance, tariffs - all these and more must be taken into account in contract negotiations.

For lawyers charged with drafting an international sales contract, this expanded and updated second edition is invaluable. Clause by clause, it clearly details the drafting process, commenting expertly on every issue likely to arise as it goes. Designed to cover every contingency, including definitions, Incoterms, price adjustments, documentation, labeling, delivery dates, limitation of liability, confidentiality, arbitration and antitrust issues, this book also covers relevant national circumstances in the commentary to each clause.

The world is getting smaller and increasingly interdependent every day. As a result, national and regional developments are, as a matter of necessity, seen in a global framework. States want to preserve their independence but they are confronted with a growing list of problems which they can only solve in co-operation with others. The sheer scale of the issues at stake calls for an institutional framework to give that co-operation a more permanent structure.

It is therefore appropriate in the framework of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws to make accessible comprehensive, substantial and readily available information on the most important intergovernmental organizations, given their importance for the development of international law and intergovernmental co-operation in general. The fundamental changes taking place nowadays at an incredible pace within IGOs render it all the more necessary to put this information within easy reach. Some 55 leading organizations will be described in separate monographs of approximately 150 pages each.

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. 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.

In Chapter 16 the basic financial statements (including the fund financial statements and government-wide statements) are prepared based on the information developed in Chapter 13 and Chapter 14. Chapter 17 provides a discussion of note disclosure concepts and a listing of the required note disclosures applicable to state and local government financial statements. Chapter 18 discusses and develops information related to management's discussion and analysis and other required supplementary information. Chapter 19 illustrates combining financial statements that are presented as part of supplementary information included in a governmental entity's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Chapter 20 provides the preparers of financial statements with an in-depth review of the statistical section of the CAFR.

• The General Fund
• Special Revenue Funds
• Capital Project Funds
• Debt Service Funds

Parenting children requires a rich understanding of God’s nature.

Mothers today face an onslaught of mixed messages about how best to parent in the 21st century. Podcasts, blogs, and books on mommy-ing abound, but many of them indulge regularly in shallow parenting advice and fallacies about excessive self-care or “me-time.”

In the midst of the coronavirus quarantine, moms on social media often advise diametrically opposed strategies: Take regular mental health breaks while your children gorge on Netflix, or schedule out every minute of children’s at-home education so they don’t fall behind in productivity. The message seems to be either “love yourself first” or “pour all your energy into your children’s future.”

Neither side answers the more important question: How do we mother like Jesus Christ during this particular cultural moment? In the words of an overused adage, “What would Jesus do?”

In Motherhood: A Confession, Natalie Carnes, associate professor of theology at Baylor University, attempts to answer this question by sharing her personal experience of raising three daughters. She follows the structure and style of Augustine’s autobiography, Confessions, and elevates the conversation about motherhood from the self-centered to the spiritual without ever losing touch with the beauty of the ordinary. Part memoir and part theological study, Motherhood: A Confession explores “how motherhood, infancy, and children disclose what it means to be human in relation to the divine.”

Carnes’s core argument is that mothering imitates God. We birth forth disciples, hand down tradition, and grow our children into the church. By knowing the maternal attributes of God, we better mother our own children, and we also ...

Studies have shown that today’s professionals spend up to twenty-five percent of their time negotiating and resolving conflicts.
