When a speaker of English and a speaker of Chinese think about the same object, their brains are representing a shared concept. However, we don’t know how similarity in the concepts evoked by words is manifested in the brains of speakers of different languages. We have previously shown that neural similarity relations are strongly conserved across subjects, allowing across-subject decoding (Raizada & Connolly, 2012). Here we extend that result to translating word-elicited activations across groups of speakers of Chinese and English. Specifically, by matching the neural similarity relations elicited by a set of seven Chinese words, presented to Chinese speakers, with the neural similarities elicited by the equivalent English words presented to English speakers, we are able to translate between the English and Chinese words with 100% accuracy, based only on the patterns of functional activity that they elicit. This demonstration provides evidence for the conservation of semantic relations between concepts across different languages.

Analysis of forced dictator economic behavioral tasks found heterogeneity in generosity and in approaches to fairness utilizing economic equity and efficiency. Latent semantic analysis of transcribed interviews showed a significant difference between probes measuring just, brave, caring, and interpersonal generosity characteristics for all participants.

We test whether this personality can be perceived by users and if there is a regulatory fit effect on the users credibility judgement of the agent (i.e. is the agent perceived as more credible if its regulatory focus is the same as that of the user?). Our results show agents regulatory focus can be adequatly perceived by users playing a board game against an agent expressing its regulatory focus via machine-learned strategies.

In his monograph, Islamic Natural Theories, Anver M. Emon attempts to shed light on this issue and uncover a natural law tradition in the legal theories of a number of premodern Muslim jurists. In doing so, Emon draws a distinction between the Hard Naturalists and the Soft Naturalists, two schools of natural law that differ on theological points but ultimately find common ground in their conclusions. For Emon, the conception of natural law concerns the extent to which reason is granted the ontological authority to determine norms, as opposed to a textualist approach to producing law. This essay investigates the primary sources relied on by Emon in his study and questions his reading of the texts, his arguments, and his conclusions. I conclude that Emon’s study, ambitious in its goals and important as a first step, presents a strained reading of the texts and struggles to convince the reader of the genuineness of a natural law tradition in Islamic legal theory as he presents it.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Natural Law"},{"word":"Maslaha"},{"word":"Maqasid al-shariah"},{"word":"Usul al-fiqh"},{"word":"Islamic law"},{"word":"Shariah"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6vh2f829","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Rami","middle_name":"","last_name":"Koujah","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-10-29T03:07:03+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-10-29T03:07:03+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_jinel/article/59897/galley/45860/download/"}]},{"pk":56529,"title":"African Renaissance and Globalization: A Conceptual Analysis and a Way Forward","subtitle":null,"abstract":"n/a","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Part III: Revisited Pieces: Ufahamu in African and African Diaspora Studies","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1k54r1j7","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"José","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cossa","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-06-06T13:09:55+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-06-06T13:09:55+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ufahamu/article/56529/galley/42925/download/"}]},{"pk":45190,"title":"Alley-Grave: The Boundary of the Ghetto in Der Schrei den niemand hört!

Second, it investigates the extent to which Islamic jus in bello rules are consistent with the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols. Third, it examines the circumstances under which it is permissible for Muslims to rebel against their ruler. Fourth, it explores the meaning of terrorism according to Islamic law and whether or not terrorism is punishable under Islamic law.

The reform was designed in part to encourage cross-party collaboration and moderate the state’s policy agenda. In this paper, I look specifically at the impact of the reform on business regulation issues, as measured by the legislative scorecards of the California Chamber of Commerce. I find that Democrats, but not Republicans, have indeed tended to be more moderate on these issues both recently and under similar reform conditions over a decade ago. But it is difficult to find firm evidence that would credit the reform for these changes. Moreover the Chamber’s policy agenda as a whole is not clearly more successful under such periods of reform. Instead, this business agenda—and by extension, the willingness of Democrats to support it—seems tied solidly to unified or divided partisan control of government.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Legislative elections, top two primary, Electoral politics"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4q24g96p","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Eric","middle_name":"","last_name":"McGhee","name_suffix":"","institution":"Public Policy Institute of California","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2015-01-16T07:33:01+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-01-16T07:33:01+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46607/galley/35295/download/"}]},{"pk":46622,"title":"California's Top Two Primary and the Challenge of Making Real Change","subtitle":null,"abstract":"","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Commentary","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0p60g00r","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Sharon","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cornu","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2015-02-06T04:25:13+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-02-06T04:25:13+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46622/galley/35308/download/"}]},{"pk":19716,"title":"Celebrity, Diplomacy, Documentary:Javier Bardem and Sons of the Clouds: The Last Colony","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This article examines the ways in which \nSons of the Clouds: The Last Colony\n, the 2012 documentary directed by the Spanish filmmaker Álvaro Longoria and produced by the Spanish actor Javier Bardem, makes use of celebrity activism and diplomacy in order to reach an international audience and directly pressure the United Nations to intervene in what the film frames primarily as a question of human rights and freedom from oppression. Despite Senator Edward Kennedy’s sympathy to the Sahrawi cause and the attention devoted to it by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, it was a little-known issue in the U.S. before Bardem began to talk about it on a variety of talk and news shows while promoting the James Bond thriller \nSkyfall\n (2012). Michael Renov has argued that, although we generally think of documentary in terms of social activism and the discourses of sobriety, desire and the unconscious may play an important role in this genre as well. In this case, Bardem’s ‘sex appeal’ draws viewers to his viewpoint, and his considerable fame within the English-speaking media world, in which actors are expected to share personal tidbits as they pitch their latest projects, gives him a platform to present this issue as an extension of his charming persona.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

In California, this grant overlapped with a state mandate for regional sustainability planning, SB 375, legislation charging regions with developing long-range sustainability plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Regional agencies lead sustainability planning efforts, yet little is known about how effective and equitable regions are in their engagement with sustainability planning. We examined how three federally funded SCI projects in California incorporate social equity and explore the process and outcomes. We focus on the conditions under which regional collaboration is most conducive to incorporating equity. We found that equity approaches vary greatly by region and are as much about process as product. Networks of information sharing, trust and relationships in regions awarded SCI grants have increased.

Many academic programs focusing on African Studies emerged in the 1960s on the heels of the first wave of African independence movements. Over time, African Studies has expanded to include a wide range of approaches to various disciplines, including history, anthropology, political science, sociology, economics, linguistics, religion and law, among others. Much debate has surrounded the questions of whether African Studies is interdisciplinary in nature or whether it should be considered an academic field in itself, and whether to adopt a Pan-African approach to the discipline to include North Africa in addition to Sub-Saharan cases, as North Africa often is studied through the lens of Islam. This article examines the existing competing methods for teaching and researching Africa and the development and challenges facing African Studies today. This article analyzes the motivations and driving factors that have shaped the emergence of African Studies. What reasons are there for a shift from an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Africa? Has opposition to the creation of a regional academic field of study dealing with Africa indicated underlying racial and political tensions within academia?

They suffer from the solo status that accompanies being a member of an underrepresented group, the stereotype threat that accompanies being a member of a stereotyped group, and the challenges that attend lacking a background in the law before beginning law school. But today’s law schools often fail to create safe1 environments, teach foundational content and skills, or take basic steps toward providing instruction that ensures students from all backgrounds are empowered to thrive. While much has been written about improving legal education and about the failure of current pedagogies to provide a sound education to students experiencing this triple-threat, little has been written about approaches that ensure that these students succeed. This article is an attempt to identify an initial pathway forward. It builds off of research regarding legal pedagogy, inclusive pedagogy, and the results of eleven in-depth-interviews with “transformative professors” who UC Berkeley Law students identified as being skilled at creating safe spaces and ensuring that individuals from all backgrounds succeed academically. This rich data can inform professors and institutions across the state and country in their efforts to provide a legal education that, instead of simply benefiting the most privileged, provides a transformative education to all.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/78x37015","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Sean","middle_name":"","last_name":"Darling-Hammond","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Kristen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Holmquist","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-07-07T03:16:44+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-07-07T03:16:44+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_nblj/article/57817/galley/43994/download/"}]},{"pk":56520,"title":"Decolonizing the United States: Lessons from Africa","subtitle":null,"abstract":"n/a","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Part II: Ufahamu: A Legacy","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7jm1d11t","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Zachariah","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mampilly","name_suffix":"","institution":"Africana Studies and Political Science, Vassar College.","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-06-06T12:08:25+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-06-06T12:08:25+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ufahamu/article/56520/galley/42916/download/"}]},{"pk":56498,"title":"Democratizing in Excess: A Marxist Interpretation of the Jasmine Revolutions in North Africa","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Whether the revolutions in North Africa are Marxist or democratic, they sure have Marxist touch in that they grew out of people’s frustration with unemployment, elitist corruption, high cost of food, human right abuses, lack of freedom of speech and general poor living conditions.

Its main contention is that much of the work undertaken by the digital humanities, especially data conversion, refinement, and visualization, involves salient yet undertheorized moments of translation. Indeed, Rosenzweig’s own theory of translation, which advocates radical formal fidelity to the original, offers a revealing lens to understand the potential and limitations of visualizing the metadata of his archive – a lens I use to guide my translation of the archival metadata. As I show, the visualization’s inclusion of peripheral voices in his archive implied by such fidelity exposes a correspondence between the journalist Siegfried Kracauer and educator Ernst Simon that calls the ideological implications of Rosenzweig’s theory of translation into question. This dialectical movement between theory and praxis, metadata and material archive, I contend, is the promise and productive threat that the digital humanities represent for German Studies: as much as the digital humanities pave new inroads for research, they also require and return us to critical concepts central to German literary and cultural discourse, such as translation.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"digita lhumanities German studies"},{"word":"Jewish studies"},{"word":"Metadata"},{"word":"translation"},{"word":"Visualization"},{"word":"distant reading"},{"word":"close reading"},{"word":"archive"},{"word":"Weimar Republic"},{"word":"Rosenzweig"},{"word":"migration"},{"word":"Geschichte"},{"word":"Religion"},{"word":"Bible"},{"word":"translation theory"},{"word":"data refinement"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/69d0g81v","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Matthew","middle_name":"","last_name":"Handelman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Michigan State University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2015-12-18T06:47:29+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-12-18T06:47:29+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/transit/article/45193/galley/33983/download/"}]},{"pk":46624,"title":"Disagreement is Evidence of Success","subtitle":null,"abstract":"","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Commentary","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/18p659m2","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Shaudi","middle_name":"","last_name":"Fulp","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2015-02-06T04:31:55+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-02-06T04:31:55+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46624/galley/35310/download/"}]},{"pk":56516,"title":"Editorial","subtitle":null,"abstract":"n/a","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Editorial","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7xs1b4ws","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nana","middle_name":"","last_name":"Osei-Opare","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of History, UCLA","department":""},{"first_name":"Jeremy","middle_name":"Jacob","last_name":"Peretz","name_suffix":"","institution":"UCLA Dept. of World Arts and Cultures/Dance.","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-06-06T11:45:24+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-06-06T11:45:24+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ufahamu/article/56516/galley/42912/download/"}]},{"pk":56504,"title":"Editorial","subtitle":null,"abstract":"[n/a]","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Editorial","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6gv4k0pf","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nana","middle_name":"","last_name":"Osei-Opare","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of History, UCLA","department":""},{"first_name":"Jeremy","middle_name":"Jacob","last_name":"Peretz","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance, UCLA","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-03-15T08:17:38+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-03-15T08:17:38+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ufahamu/article/56504/galley/42907/download/"}]},{"pk":57815,"title":"Editors' Note","subtitle":null,"abstract":"[No abstract]","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Front Matter","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3b32c48s","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Daniel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sturm","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Nisha","middle_name":"","last_name":"Parekh","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-07-07T03:09:01+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-07-07T03:09:01+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_nblj/article/57815/galley/43992/download/"}]},{"pk":56500,"title":"Edouard Glissant and the African Roots of Creolization","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper examines Edouard Glissant’s Creolization theory as it pertains to the African roots of Antillean culture.

Based on the distributional properties of such finite clauses and their co-occurrence with different matrix verbs, I suggest that the marker =\nƛin\n is structurally ambiguous between a genuine quotative marker, marking direct speech, and a complementizer, heading finite clauses. In the former function, =\nƛin\n can be compared to English \nlike, go\n or \nall\n. The quotative =\nƛin\n does not impose restrictions on the word order of the embedded clause and is compatible with a large set of verbs, including but not limited to verbs of speaking, cognition, and propositional attitude predicates. As a complementizer heading finite clauses, the marker =\nƛin\n appears on clauses that are strictly predicate-final and attaches directly to that predicate. When selected by propositional attitude verbs, the finite complement clause becomes the context in which the interpretation of pronouns can undergo indexical shift. The Tsez pattern of indexical shift is in many ways similar to patterns of indexical shift reported for other languages. However, the description of this pattern also adds a novel generalization to the growing body of knowledge about indexical shifts: in Tsez, the shifted interpretation is made obligatory if the embedded clause includes a long-distance reflexive. This usage is particularly striking given that the binder in the matrix clause and the bindee do not match in person.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

While it is true that France’s educational policies were narrowly aimed at forming acquiescent elites of the Maghrebi societies, Spain’s policies in turn were severely conditioned by a hyper-awareness of existing ethno-religious divisions, a product of the prominence of religion in the historical relations between Iberia and the Maghreb. In this essay, I discuss the differences in Spain’s educational policies between Northern Morocco and the Western Sahara with a special focus on the implications for the postcolonial language policies and the current linguistic landscape in both areas. The main argument is that ethno-religious divisions and political propaganda, particularly during the Francoist dictatorship, were the two most important factors that shaped Spain’s linguistic incursion in Western North Africa and its legacy today.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

While at UC Berkeley, Irene and Julia participated in a graduate student reading group on neoliberalism in language education (see \nL2Journal \nSpecial Issue 2015), and they researched in depth the history and the current debates surrounding the quintessentially German concept of \nBildung\n this quintessentially German concept\n.\n The two papers that appear in this issue are the result of their research. I decided to invite two German senior scholars in Applied Linguistics to write a response to each of these papers. Prof. Dr. Adelheid Hu, from the University of Luxemburg, responded to Irene Heidt, and Prof. Dr. Jörg Roche, from the University of Munich, responded to Julia Campos. This unusual pairing of a young and a more senior scholar, for which I was inspired by my colleague Prof. Jabari Mahiri from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education, will give our readers a multifaceted perspective on this complex topic.

disinvestment, the University of California (UC) faces significant challenges and misunderstandings regarding its operating costs, its mission, and its wide array of activities. Reduced funding from the state for public higher education, including UC, has essentially severed the historic link between state allocations and enrollment workload, altering the incentive and ability for UC to expand academic programs and enrollment in pace with California’s growing population and economic needs – what formed an important component of its historic social contract. “To grow or not to grow?” is the question that now confronts the University of California and, more generally, Californians. On the positive side, an improved economy offers a window for a renewed commitment to fund public high education. Yet the most recent budget deal with the state provides only a marginal reinvestment in the university and restricts its ability to move toward a new funding model. The historic commitment to grow with the needs of California that propelled much of the state’s economic activity and socioeconomic mobility is, for the first time, an unfunded mandate with little prospect for resurrection in the immediate term. Without adequate state funding, and with a high level of institutional autonomy guaranteed in the state constitution, the university community is much less likely to continue the path of unfunded enrollment growth that erodes the quality of its teaching, research, and public service programs.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"California Higher Education, University Funding, Access, Socioeconomic Mobility, Economic Development"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5tb9302t","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"John","middle_name":"Aubrey","last_name":"Douglass","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2015-10-23T04:13:25+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-10-23T04:13:25+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46670/galley/35338/download/"}]},{"pk":46608,"title":"Googling the Top Two: Information Search in California’s Top Two Primary","subtitle":null,"abstract":"After California’s adoption of the top two primary, voters faced the possibility of ballot choices between co-partisan candidates (two Democrats, for example, or two Republicans).

En este artículo se defiende, por medio de una argumentación histórica, que la asociación del Sahara Occidental con Marruecos podría aportar ventajas tanto a marroquíes como a saharauis, poniendo fin de manera definitiva a un conflicto demasiado largo y que provoca tanto sufrimiento en la población saharaui, al mismo tiempo que crea continuos problemas internacionales a Marruecos. Pero para ello, las autoridades de este país deben aceptar que quien tiene la llave no son otros que los propios saharauis y que sin una verdadera democracia y un estado de derecho que les haga sentir en confianza y con sus derechos garantizados, la integración nunca podrá ser posible. Las reticencias mostradas para acabar con la política de excepción que vive el territorio del Sahara controlado por Marruecos, en comparación con el clima general que vive el país, dificultan que se avance hacia una solución del problema.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

After briefly describing Idaho’s population and politics, the report discusses the state’s economic and General Fund revenue contexts for budget decision making. It then analyzes the governor’s budget and the legislature’s appropriations and considers two important potential impacts of these decisions. Progress in Idaho state budgeting continued to be mixed. The state economy generally gained since the recession years although prospects for specific sectors varied. General Fund revenue collections increased regularly since the low point of FY 2010 but were still below the pre-recession amounts. “Progress” differed for the General Fund spending of individual General Fund departments and major programs. While the legislature’s spending shares increased for some functions and programs and decreased for others, we found no major changes in the shares for FY 2014.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Western State Budget Reports, Idaho, fiscal policy, taxes"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/88j7k6nh","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Dick","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kinney","name_suffix":"","institution":"Boise State University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2015-07-02T03:09:11+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-07-02T03:09:11+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46653/galley/35326/download/"}]},{"pk":60230,"title":"Mandatory Arbitration Provisions Involving Talent and Studios and Proposed Areas for Improvement","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In recent years, the major television studios have increasingly insisted that their new contracts with talent, including executive producers, directors and actors, include a mandatory arbitration provision and that one particular arbitration provider, JAMS, be the forum to arbitrate all disputes. The studios defend their inclusion of mandatory arbitration provisions with JAMS as the provider, arguing that the arbitration process has safeguards to protect fairness, JAMS arbitrators are particularly well qualified and that juries tend to favor talent, not large corporations. Given the studios’ near universal designation of a sole provider in their contracts, the studios’ size and influence on the Los Angeles economy, the realities of arbitration and private judging as a for-profit business and anecdotal stories of arbitrators favoring the repeat player studios over talent, the talent community is increasingly concerned about the danger of “repeat player/provider bias” in major studio versus talent arbitrations. The article examines the historical trends and the reasons for them, the lack of transparency and risk of repeat player/provider bias in talent versus studio arbitrations, the legal possibilities in challenging such a mandatory arbitration provision, the potential impact of the California consumer arbitration disclosure statute and steps that can and should be made by the arbitration providers to alleviate the perception, if not the reality, of repeat player/provider bias in this arena.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8m89799r","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Ronald","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Nessim","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Scott","middle_name":"","last_name":"Goldman","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2015-06-03T12:46:57+09:00","date_accepted":"2015-06-03T12:46:57+09:00","date_published":"2015-01-01T09:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_elr/article/60230/galley/46189/download/"}]}]}
