Lassiter v. Department of Social Servs. of Durham Cty.green
scotus · 1981 · cited in 2 California opinions naming this issue, 1999–2011
2 sentences

2011In sum, this is not a case where “the parent’s interests were at their strongest, the State’s interests were at their weakest, and the risks of error were at their peak . . . .” (Lassiter, supra, 452 U.S. at p. 31 .) L.B.’s interest in appointed counsel to oppose the guardianship petition does not outweigh the presumption that due process guarantees appointed counsel only where loss of liberty is threatened.

1999However, the court noted that the Eldridge factors might overcome the presumption against the right to appointed counsel “[i]f, in a given case, the parent’s interests were at their strongest, the State’s interests were at their weakest, and the risks of error were at their peak.” (Lassiter, supra, 452 U.S. at p. 31 [ 101 S.Ct. at p. 2162 ].) “[S]ince the Eldridge factors will not always be so distributed, and since ‘due process is not so rigid as to require that the significant interests in informality, flexibility and economy must always be sacrificed,’ Gagnon v. Scarpelli [(1973)] 411 U.S.

As one commentator explains, “the parties to an arbitral agreement knowingly take the risks of error of fact or law committed by the arbitrators and that this is a worthy ‘trade-off’ in order to obtain speedy decisions by experts in the field whose practical experience and worldly reasoning will be accepted as correct by other experts.” (Sweeney, Judicial Review of Arbitral Proceedings (1981-1982) 5 Fordham Int’l L.J. 253, 254.) “In other words, it is with

1984This is not a civil dispute over money damages where the application of the “preponderance of evidence” standard indicates society’s minimal concern with the result and therefore that the litigants should “share the risks of error in roughly equal fashions.” (Adding-ton v. Texas (1979) 441 U.S. 418, 425 [ 60 L.Ed.2d 323, 330 , 99 S.Ct. 1804, 1808 ].) Nor is it a criminal dispute where the stringent “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard tells us of the weight and gravity of the private interest involved and society’s interest in avoiding an erroneous conviction.

1997“The speed and economy of arbitration, in contrast to the expense and delay of a jury trial, could prove helpful to all parties . . . .” (Madden, supra, 17 Cal.3d at p. 711 .) The explicit and implicit representations contained in Kaiser’s arbitration agreement serve to confirm to the reasonable potential subscriber that Kaiser has an efficient system of arbitration, in which what is lost in terms of jury trial rights would be gained in part by a swifter resolution of the dispute.
