The Foley Hoag Foundation 2007 Annual Report Jun 3, 2008 eBook Download

SUMMARY

Established in December 1980 by the partners of law firm Foley Hoag, The Foley Hoag Foundation is a private foundation that seeks to combat racism, especially among youth, in the City of Boston. The Foundation awards grants to organizations working to improve the racial climate in Boston by addressing issues of diversity and racism. Grantee organizations achieve their goals through a variety of means, including arts and cultural activities, youth leadership and recreational programs. Other grantees provide advocacy assistance, enabling individuals to confront racism through legal or political action. Some grantee organizations work to prepare young children to live in the reality of a multicultural society, others engage teens, and a few target a primarily adult constituency.

The Foley Hoag Foundation was the first—and remains the only— foundation to focus exclusively on the improvement of race relations in Boston. The trustees are fortunate to have the unqualified endorsement of Foley Hoag, which has provided an enormous amount of financial, administrative and moral support.

Where Should You Litigate Your Business Dispute Aug 1, 2004 John H. Henn General Download

In an arbitration or through the courts?

SUMMARY

Lawyers who advise business entities commonly confront the question of whether to resolve disputes by arbitration. This usually comes up when the parties are negotiating a transaction agreement. Often the decision is made, not as a result of any systematic consideration of the merits of arbitration versus a judicial forum, but rather as a result of anecdotal information about good or bad experiences with each process. This article aims to provide the basis for a more systematic consideration of the arbitral versus judicial alternatives.
