All programming, whether live or pre-recorded, involves many different phases including project development, packaging, pre-production, production, post-production, marketing, distribution and exhibition. Many contracts define the relationship of the players to one another and to the production itself. Often they contain an arbitration clause, making arbitrators with specific knowledge of the entertainment industry a vital part of the process of resolving disputes that invariably arise. Arbitration is gaining more acceptance in both international and domestic entertainment contracts since it provides the parties with a less expensive and more efficient resolution by a person who has experience in the industry. Arbitration significantly cuts litigation costs and the parties can negotiate...

Despite these disturbing facts, federal law places a significant burden on the thousands of incarcerated children and youths that face abusive conditions of confinement. In 1996, Congress passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) to limit the number of "frivolous" prisoner lawsuits. The stated goal of the measure was to "help restore balance to prison conditions litigation and ensure that Federal Court Orders are limited to remedying actual violations of prisoners' rights." One of the PLRA's provisions prohibits prisoners from filing lawsuits for mental or emotional injury without demonstrating a "physical injury." And prisoners must exhaust all administrative remedies before they can file a suit in federal court. The law also put restrictions on attorneys' fees in prisoner cases. ...
Federal courts that issue anti-suit injunctions to state courts for cases that perhaps should be arbitrated often use arbitration law to justify decisions that should be made according to jurisdictional doctrine and the facts of the case. Such cases arise when one of the parties insists arbitration agreements do not apply. Federal courts may favor the arbitration process but they cannot impose their preference on state courts. State courts are already subject to arbitration law and federal decisions should be based on the facts of the case or jurisdiction. To do otherwise damages relations between state and federal courts.

A $4 million class-action settlement has been reached in a long- running case in which a law firm was accused of taking excessive fees in lawsuits against nursing homes. Wilkes & McHugh, a firm with offices in eight states, including Tennessee, was sued in December 2006 by a client who argued that the firm charged contingency fees above Tennessee's statutory cap for medical negligence cases.
A model of frivolous litigation based on game theory suggests that asymmetric information increases the likelihood of frivolous suits. When the plaintiff does not know that the suit lacks merit, failure to investigate is the factor that makes the suit frivolous. Frivolous suits have an indirect cost in that they make it more difficult to settle legitimate cases. Judicial screening offers a promising method of enforcement. The analysis of frivolous litigation demonstrates the usefulness of game theory for procedural analysis.

THE CLEAN AIR ACT'S PREEMPTIVE EFFECT ON THE FEDERAL COMMON LAW OF NUISANCE Until the Supreme Court's decision in Massachusetts v. EPA ("Massachusetts II"),2 legal scholars disagreed as to the CAA's preemptive effect on interstate nuisance actions involving greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide.3 This debate was important to public interest groups and private citizens wanting to bring an interstate nuisance action under the federal common law.4 If the CAA preempted the federal common law for interstate nuisance actions involving greenhouses gases, then their cases would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. "11 In the early twentieth century, these specialized areas of federal common law became extremely important in interstate pollution disputes in order to protect the natural res...
