Consider federal court, state court, and long arm principles in your analysis. A. Apply the rules of jurisdiction to the facts of this case and determine what jurisdiction(s) would be appropriate for Margolin’s lawsuit against Funny Face and Novelty Now, respectively. Consider federal court, state court, and long arm principles in your analysis. A can court proposed that a long-arm statute could be used only when the defendant has either actively marketed a product or the web site has a degree of interactivity that suggests the website seeks to do business. The website for Funny Face states that anyone buying their product cannot take Chris, Matt, and Ian to court. Most lawsuits that can be filed in federal court can also be filed in state court. Novelty Now’s contract with the three men states that all disputes must be brought in the state of Florida. Since it has been proven that Margolin’s skin discoloration was caused by PYR, which is (a low-cost chemical emulsifier) compound in Novelty Now’s original formula and more that like produced in Florida, the case may need to be filed in Florida. This may not matter because of the internet advertisement. Chris, Matt, and Ian had minimum contacts with NY. Once the minimum contacts requirement is met, the court must determine that the contacts are sufficient so that the assertion of jurisdiction will not offend the traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.

Mediation In mediation, an impartial individual called the “mediator” is brought to help the parties involved in business disputes collaboratively brainstorm resolutions that are mutually acceptable. In the end, the parties, not the mediator, have control over the outcome of the mediation proceedings. The mediator’s main role is to help the parties effectively communicate with each other by eliminating hostility and the emotions that are obstructing resolution. The decision made by mediation is usually non-binding and leads to further negotiations. Advantages and disadvantages of mediation: a. The decision to mediate is based on personal or business factors and not on legal principles b. Mediation can be a problem if one or both parties are withholding information c. Another problem with mediation can arise if one party is very passive and likely to be bulldozed by the other d. If mediation fails, the parties may have wasted time and money on the process and still face the expenses of a trial e. Mediation does not require a lawyer to be present during one or more of the sessions f. Mediation is an extremely quick process g. With mediation, the mediator that is hired is an outside party h. Another disadvantage of mediation is that either party can withdraw from the proceedings at any time i. Only one court appearance j. Substantially reduced conflict and stress
