Principled Negotiation and Mediation in the International Arena: Talking with Evil

This book argues that it can be beneficial for the United States to talk with "evil" - that is, terrorists and other bad actors - if it uses a strategy that engages a mediator who shares the United States' principles yet is pragmatic. The project shows how the United States can make better foreign policy decisions and demonstrate its integrity for promoting democracy and human rights if it employs a mediator who facilitates disputes between international actors by moving them along a continuum of principles, as political parties act for a country's citizens. This is the first book to integrate theories of rule of law development with conflict resolution methods, and it examines ongoing disputes in the Middle East, North Korea, South America, and Africa (including Uganda, Sudan, Kenya, and Liberia). It uses a narrative approach, drawing on the author's experiences with The Carter Center and judicial and legal advocacy training to give the reader a sophisticated understanding of the current situation in these countries and of how a strategy of principled pragmatism will give better direction to U.S. foreign policy abroad.

This book offers a new way of understanding the role of the mediator in teaching parties the interrelationship between sustainable peace, forgiveness, and international justice. It argues that the arrival of social media presents new opportunities for reaching sustainable peace agreements, through their use in gathering the detailed information that can match victims and perpetrators of past atrocities. The author aims to advance a more expansive understanding of the subjects and limitations of making peace in the shadow of international law by examining the concepts of mediation and forgiveness that exist alongside law. To that end, the book offers an account of the role of the mediator that emerges from the interplay between Ricouerian imagination and forgiveness and predicts ever-greater opportunities for making peace and protecting human rights that can be facilitated by a harnessing of social media as a tool for making peace with justice. The author also aims to examine how strategies for sustaining the peace must combat the inevitable frustrations with democracy that can lead to a slide into dictatorship. Assad, Obama, and the UN leadership and their decisions concerning making and maintaining peace in Syria are used as case studies to examine the interplay between a leaders’ religious beliefs, faith in democracy and rule of law, and impulses towards totalitarianism.

Today we see explosive growth in the use of expert witnesses. Effective Expert Testimony, the newest volume in NITA's Practical Guide series, presents an invaluable guidebook for litigators who seek instruction in shaping the testimony of expert witnesses. David M. Malone and Paul J. Zwier, who combine over fifty years of courtroom and classroom experience, examine the rules of evidence and ethics that govern the relationship of experts to lawyers, juries, and courts. The result is a book that will interest experienced attorneys and law students alike. Effective Expert Testimony takes readers from the initial decision to hire an expert to the search for the right expert--all the way through the various pretrial and trial activities for which experts and attorneys must be prepared. The book emphasizes many opportunities for persuasion when conducting direct examination of the expert, and underscores the work that is required to control the expert--compared to the lay witness--on cross examination. The authors look in detail both at the careful steps that must be undertaken in deposing experts and at the tools available for cross-examining the expert. According the Malone and Zwier, to present and to oppose experts effectively the attorney must develop and utilize a number of skills such as attention to detail, patience with follow-up, care in organization, and avoidance of ego. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the need for the attorney to treat the expert--consulting and testifying--as an integral part of the trial team. The shape of the case, as determined by the complaint, answer, and early discovery, reflects the attorney's judgment and the expert's knowledge. The authors stress that attorneys must understand the Supreme Court's recent Daubert trilogy so they can assist, or even direct, the court in its gatekeeping function of keeping unreliable expert testimony out of the record. This useful and practical guide contains appendices including selected Federal Rules of Evidence as amended to December 1, 2000; Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 as Amended to December 1, 2000; and Daubert, Joiner, and Kumho Tire cases.

In Doug Li v. John Ross and Ross Construction Co., Inc., the plaintiff, a Chinese-American, claims he had a significant business relationship with Michelle Greenwood and that the defendant, his brother-in-law, improperly interfered with that relationship by making a series of improper and false statements about the quality of his work. As a result of these statements, the plaintiff claims that Greenwood broke off her relationship with him and instead gave the contract to the defendant's company, Ross Construction Company. The plaintiff also believes that the defendant not only bears a personal grudge, but an ethnic bias as well. There are three witnesses for the plaintiff and five witnesses for the defendant. The case file deals with issues of tortious interference with a contract, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, slander, and punitive damages and contains ample material for motion practice. This third edition also contains new social media exhibits. It is available in four versions: Trial, Faculty, Plaintiff, and Defendant.
