Just Because You Can Doesn’T Mean You Should: Reconciling Attorney Conduct In The Context Of Defamation With The New Professionalism, Heather M. Kolinsky

Scholarly Articles

The Florida Bar has recently proposed enforceable professionalism standards. While many states have professionalism codes they remain aspirational and unenforceable. Florida’s move toward enforceable professionalism standards is laudable, but raises concerns about how moving a “step above” the floor of the rules of professional conduct will affect advocacy and practice.

This paper examines how a shift to enforceable professionalism standards may impact absolute immunity. The paper suggests that as other states consider similar standards or simply how to better policy professionalism, perhaps it is time to also consider how discipline is imposed with respect to defamatory statements that are otherwise …

Ethical Concerns When Settlement Includes An Agreement About Expungement, Christine Lazaro

Faculty Publications

(Excerpt)

When a customer makes a complaint against his or her broker, oftentimes that complaint is reported on the broker’s public record and made available to the public through the BrokerCheck system provided by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) established BrokerCheck in 1998 to provide the public with information about the professional background, business practices, and conduct of brokers and brokerage firms.

Understandably, brokers generally attempt to keep as clean a record as possible because potential clients may use BrokerCheck to decide whether to invest with a particular broker. To remove a …

The Costs Of Heightened Pleading, Alexander A. Reinert

Faculty Articles

In Conley v. Gibson, 355 U. S. 41 (1957), the Supreme Court announced its commitment to a liberal pleading regime in federal civil cases, and for decades thereafter was steadfast in resisting ad hoc heightened pleading rules adopted by lower courts. Thus, from 1957 until a few years ago, most litigants could count on surviving a motion to dismiss a complaint for failure to state a claim so long as their pleading provided some minimal notice to the defendant of the nature of their claim. Enter Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S. Ct. 1937 (2009) and Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, …

Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Morgan), Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Grievor was suspended with pay until a complaint by a co-worker could be investigated. The complaint dealt with a conversation regarding serial killers, which upset the co-worker and caused the Employer to be concerned about workplace safety. After the investigation the Grievor was placed on sick leave until she could provide medical proof that she was not a danger to her co-workers. The Union believes the Employer breached the collective agreement by imposing the suspension without just cause and, as remedy, wants the Employer to pay damages to compensate the Grievor for what was lost by the suspension, a …

Farris V Merks Farms Ltd, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Complainant, David Farris, alleges that he was dismissed unjustly by the Employer, Merks Farms Ltd., with whom he had been employed since July 1, 1986, as a truck driver. The Employer, a family owned corporation, which operates a trucking company and a variety of farming operations, employing, in all, about seventy people, responds that he was justly dismissed for incapacity to work due to a bad back, after the exhaustion of his short term disability entitlements. There was little dispute about most of the relevant facts, although there were differences about how much contact the Complainant had maintained with …

Construction Association Management Labour Bureau Limited V International Association Of Heat & Frost Insulators & Asbestos Workers, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The issue before the Panel on this preliminary objection is whether, on the assumption that the Respondents, contrary to Section 52 (h) of the Trade Union Act, have expelled or suspended an employee of one of the Applicant's member companies or have taken disciplinary action against or imposed any form of penalty on any such employee "by reason of his having refused to perform an act that is contrary to (the Trade Union) Act", that is a matter about which the employer or the Management Labour Bureau on his behalf, can complain under the Trade Union Act.

Process, Edson R. Sunderland

Book Chapters

Professor Sunderland's chapter on Process: "Process, in the sense in which it is employed in the present title, means the writ, notice, or other formal writing, issued by authority of law, for the purpose of bringing defendant into a court of law to answer plaintiff's demands in civil action, although in a more technical and limited sense the term is frequently applied only to those writs or writings which issue out of a court." The chapter features an 8-page outline introductory.
