Donkeys, Elephants, And Barney Fife: Are Deputy Sheriffs Policymakers Subject To Patronage Termination, Bryan R. Berry Jun 2001

Donkeys, Elephants, And Barney Fife: Are Deputy Sheriffs Policymakers Subject To Patronage Termination, Bryan R. Berry

Missouri Law Review

This Note examines DiRuzza v. County of Tehama, a recent Ninth Circuit decision that takes a case-specific approach to defining the position of deputy sheriff for the purpose of deciding whether that position involves policymaking and is, therefore, subject to patronage. Furthermore, this Note reviews the landscape of other circuit court decisions on the susceptibility of deputy sheriffs to patronage termination, including the Eighth Circuit’s relative silence on the issue. Finally, this Note argues that the Supreme Court should sanction the approach espoused by DiRuzza in an effort to harmonize what has become cacophonous mix of low court voices on …

Journal of Law and Health

I have only a couple of comments to make that relate to litigation hurdles and how to achieve this balance, and the first thing I want to talk about, following the wonderful presentation is, in fact, we probably don't in some ways even need a new cause of action.


Employee Benefits Law: Foreword, Maria O'Brien Jan 2001

Employee Benefits Law: Foreword, Maria O'Brien

Faculty Scholarship

Over the past twenty or so years, the range of employee benefits offered by employers - both large and small - has expanded dramatically. The old (and relatively short) list of "fringes" typically included health insurance, a pension plan, paid holidays and group life insurance.
