    Progressive Reforms Of The 20th Century

    Elizabeth Scott (2008) paints an especially revealing picture of the progressive reforms around the beginning of the 20th century. The goal for the progressive reformers at that time was to support the lives of children through various reforms. The juvenile court was only one of the reforms promoted by these progressive reformers. Others included compulsory school attendance laws, restrictions on child labor, and the creation of a child welfare system (Scott, 2008). However, the reformers had a problem. They needed to present to the public a portrait of children as young, innocent, vulnerable, and dependent. This was easier when it came to children working in factories under horrible and unsafe conditions. It was a much harder sell with, say,…

    Dispute Resolution Parties

    In the United States, a traditional litigation refers to the process of bringing, defending and maintaining a lawsuit (Cheeseman, 2010). Traditional litigation goes through a structured process of answer, discovery trial and jury. Whereas the nontraditional litigation process, alternative dispute resolution, known as ADR is a more flexible, less expensive, not as time consuming, and confidential process. There are several forms of alternative dispute resolution, mediation, arbitration, negotiation, conciliation, mini-trial, fact-finding and utilizing a judicial referee. Arbitration and mediation are similar to where it is a form of negotiation and a neutral party settles the dispute. Negotiation is where the two parties negotiate to settle the dispute. A mini-trial is a shortened version of a traditional litigation trial. Fact-finding situations call for the parties to employ a third party to investigate the facts to come to a resolution. Lastly, a judicial referee is much like a mini-trial but both parties reserve the right to appeal. Ninety percent of cases are resolved through alternative dispute resolution (Harms, 2011). The next several paragraphs will identify risks associated with traditional litigation and the advantages of the alternative dispute resolution in reducing those risks.…
