The Founders And Slavery, Arthur R. Landever
The Founders And Slavery, Arthur R. Landever
Law Faculty Presentations and Testimony
The point of my talk is that our founders, who our tradition praises profusely of course, as men on Mount Olympus, had moral blinders on. I'm going to talk about key founders. Then I'm going to talk about the key English case, decided in 1772, Somerset v. Stuart. Then I'm going to talk about the Compromises of the 1770s and 1780s. Then I'm going to talk about what we can and can't learn from history. Then I'm going to consider what our generation is doing in the 21st century, considering what might shock our own descendants, two hundred years from …

If an organization refuses to abide by this mandate, it is prohibited from soliciting and receiving donations through the CFC. This new requirement presents a question of first impression for the courts When the issue makes its way into a courtroom, the courts may be tempted to follow the analysis of Cornelius v. NAACP Legal Defense and …
Contractual Waivers Of A Right To Jury Trial - Another Opinion, Brian D. Weber
Contractual Waivers Of A Right To Jury Trial - Another Opinion, Brian D. Weber
Cleveland State Law Review
It is well-settled that arbitration in the employment context is favored by the courts, and that there is a federal policy favoring arbitration agreements, in general. However, jury waivers outside of arbitration in the employment context are still a relatively novel idea in some jurisdictions, despite the fact that an arbitration agreement itself inherently prevents the employee from having a jury trial. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as the Ohio Supreme Court, have yet to determine if jury waivers in employment contracts are binding. This paper will assess contractual jury trial waivers in the employment context as …
