Canons Of Construction And The Elusive Quest For Neutral Reasoning, James J. Brudney, Corey Distlear Jan 2005

Canons Of Construction And The Elusive Quest For Neutral Reasoning, James J. Brudney, Corey Distlear

Faculty Scholarship

Over the past 15 years, the canons of construction have experienced a remarkable revival in the courts and the legal academy. While the role of this interpretive resource has been heavily theorized, it has until now been under-explored from an empirical standpoint. This article adopts a novel combination of empirical and doctrinal analysis to uncover the Supreme Court's complex patterns of reliance on the canons over a 34-year period. We focus on whether the canons are favored across different time periods, in particular subject matter areas, by individual justices, and in close cases. Our approach - identifying ten different interpretive …

The Duty Of Fair Representation Under The Taylor Law: Supreme Court Development, New York State Adoption And A Call For Independence, Vincent Martin Bonventre Jan 1992

The Duty Of Fair Representation Under The Taylor Law: Supreme Court Development, New York State Adoption And A Call For Independence, Vincent Martin Bonventre

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The duty of fair representation in labor negotiations was born in Supreme Court case law to protect against racial discrimination and as a bastion of individuals’ interests during exclusive union representation in the collective bargaining process. The law later became as much a prescription for deference to unions as a protector from arbitrary union rule. As it currently stands, the law has become a minimal safeguard against wholly irrational and invidious union conduct far from the original guarantee of competent and committed union representation. Almost 25 years after the Supreme Court recognized a duty of fair representation in federal labor …

It addresses the feasibility of applying dispute resolution mechanisms found workable in labor-management relations under union contracts to employment-at-will disputes. It further outlines the standards and criteria utilized in the arbitration process and recognizes some problems of proof, evidence, remedy and procedure that will arise from the application of alternative methods of resolution to nonunion disputes. Finally, this Article identifies a substantial number of issues that need to be resolved if arbitration of just cause for termination of …

New York Heart Bills: Presumptions Governing Police And Firefighters' Cardiac Disabilities, Andrea J. Berger Jan 1982

New York Heart Bills: Presumptions Governing Police And Firefighters' Cardiac Disabilities, Andrea J. Berger

Fordham Urban Law Journal

In New York, two statutes govern heart disease suffered by police officers and firefighters - one covering New York City, and the other covering New York State. Both bills establish a line-of-duty presumption which provides that any impairment of health caused by diseases of the heart and the resulting disability or death are presumptive evidence that the impairment was job connected, unless proven otherwise. This Note analyzes the history and current status of New York's two heart bills, including the effect of judicial interpretations of the City Heart Bill, and assesses various alternatives available to the City.

The Peculiar Collective Bargaining Status Of Hospital Housestaff, Diane Wende Bricker Jan 1978

The Peculiar Collective Bargaining Status Of Hospital Housestaff, Diane Wende Bricker

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Article discusses confusion as to whether state or federal labor relations boards may decide the collective bargaining rights of housestaff in non-profit hospitals. The National Labor Relations Board found that housestaff were primarily students rather than employees and consequently not a labor organization within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act. However, since the position is contrary to that which many state courts and labor boards have adopted the article examines (1)if the NLRB preempted state control of labor relations of housestaff in non-profit hospitals and (2) if so, will the federal decision endure, despite the dissatisfaction of state …

The 1974 Health Care Amendments To The National Labor Relations Act: Jurisdictional Standards And Appropriate Bargaining Units, Robert H. Ringer Jan 1977

The 1974 Health Care Amendments To The National Labor Relations Act: Jurisdictional Standards And Appropriate Bargaining Units, Robert H. Ringer

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The purpose of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is to ensure the well-being of labor-management relations through the encouragement of collective bargaining, and the prohibition of certain practices by labor unions and employers. The NLRA applies to cases where labor disputes may tend to burden, obstruct or affect interstate commerce. In an effort to settle the controversy surrounding the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) jurisdiction over non-profit hospitals, Congress passed the Health Care Amendments to squarely put non-profit hospitals under NLRB's jurisdiction. This note examines two problems presented by the amendments: (1) the extent of NLRB's jurisdiction under the …
