Due Process Review Under The Railway Labor Act, Christopher L. Sagers
Due Process Review Under The Railway Labor Act, Christopher L. Sagers
Michigan Law Review
This Note contends that the RLA prohibits due process review and further argues that such a result is constitutional. Part I examines the statutory language of the RLA itself and contends that it limits district court review to the three statutory grounds. Part II argues that the Supreme Court's opinion in Sheehan reaffirms this interpretation because the Court's language unmistakably conveys an intent to bar due process review. Part III explains that such a limitation does not violate the Constitution. The only constitutional provision that could be implicated in an RLA proceeding, the right of procedural due process, is protected …

The Grievor was Part-time Assistant in the Post Office at Berwick, Nova Scotia. The grievance alleges that he was suspended without cause. The Union claims that the discipline is unjustified, discriminatory, and not in accordance with notice requirements and time limits in the Collective Agreement. Complaints of harassment were made against the Grievor which were passed on to the Human Rights Officer. A memorandum of settlement was signed by the parties agreeing to waive time limits until completion of an investigation. The claims were substantiated and a letter of discipline sent to the Grievor. The Union's position is that no …

We Can Settle This Here Or Downtown: Mediation Or Arrest For Domestic Violence Calls - Eagleston V. Guido, Dale T. Smith
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Mediation policies may serve as a way for victims of equal protection violations to be compensated if a state worker invokes the defense of qualified immunity to avoid liability.' However, if the state worker is a police officer and is "following orders" by acting under a custom or policy devised or enforced by a superior, a party might be able to claim an equal protection violation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and sue the officer's superior.' A police officer's use of qualified immunity came into question in Eagleston v. Guido.' In Eagleston, the use of mediation practices to deal with …

Is Arbitration Final & (And) Binding - Public Policy Says, Not Necessarily - Exxon Shipping Company V. Exxon Seamen's Union, Todd M. Siegel
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In the realm of employment law, management and labor unions enter in collective bargaining agreements to establish employment terms including wages, hours, benefits and grievance procedures.' A typical grievance procedure provides that labor disputes will be resolved through arbitration. Courts are encouraged to defer to collective bargaining agreements. When disputes arise, employees and employers attempt to resolve matters themselves, and if this fails, labor unions intervene and submit grievances to arbitration. Generally, an arbitrator's decision is final and binding, but in limited circumstances the matter is ultimately litigated. One such limited circumstance arose when the courts developed a public policy …
Summary Jury Trial - A Caution, Avern Cohn
Summary Jury Trial - A Caution, Avern Cohn
Journal of Dispute Resolution
My experience with summary jury trials as a settlement device, as well as a poll of my colleagues in the Eastern District of Michigan, suggests the drawbacks of summary jury trials outweigh the benefits. Additionally, a decision regarding the worth of summary jury trial as a dispute resolution mechanism, particularly over the objections of a party, should be suspended until the Rand Corporation's Institute for Civil Justice reports to Congress on its evaluation of Civil Justice Reform Act initiatives with regard to alternate dispute resolution procedures in federal district courts.

Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, Kimberly Gibbens, Cathleen A. Martin, Peter Sumners, Stephen Witte
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The Uniform Arbitration Act is an annual project of the Journal of Dispute Resolution.2 The project examines court opinions from the past year which have interpreted state versions of the Uniform Arbitration Act ("U.A.A.").' Currently, thirty-four states and the District of Columbia have adopted arbitration statutes based on the U.A.A.' The goal of the Journal of Dispute Resolution in creating this project is to promote uniformity in interpretation of the U.A.A. by describing the decisions and rationales of recent court opinions.
Federal Arbitration Act And Section 2'S Involving Commerce Requirement: The Final Step Towards Complete Federal Preemption Over State Law And Policy - Allied-Bruce Terminix V. Dobson, The, Isham R. Jones Iii
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In 1609, Lord Coke held agreements to arbitrate revocable at will at any time prior to the issuance of an award.' For three-hundred years following Lord Coke's decision, a similar mindset pervaded the judicial psyche of both England and the United States, requiring legislative action to overcome the dilemma.' Even after the enactment of the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA" or "Act"), passed by Congress to combat judicial hostility to arbitration, courts continued to jealously guard their jurisdiction from non-traditional dispute resolution forums.4 Under Section 2 of the FAA, courts must enforce agreements to arbitrate contained in contracts which evidence a …
Mandatory Arbitration And Title Vii: Can Employees Ever See Their Rights Vindicated Through Statutory Causes Of Action - Metz V. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & (And) Smith, Penelope Hopper
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Through the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Title VII and the Americans with Disabilities Act, Congress has granted American employees an increased number of potential statutory causes of action. At the same time, litigation has decreased. with a rise in the popularity of alternative dispute resolution.' Thus, it is no surprise that many modem employment contracts require employees to stipulate a dispute resolution forum through which any future legal conflict may be resolved, usually at the bequest of the prospective employer. The legal trend is to enforce mandatory arbitration and mediation clauses when a statutory cause of action is at …

The Federal Arbitration Act And Individual Employment Contracts: A Better Means To An Equally Just End, William F. Kolakowski Iii
The Federal Arbitration Act And Individual Employment Contracts: A Better Means To An Equally Just End, William F. Kolakowski Iii
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that courts should adopt a narrow reading of the employment contract exception to the FAA, thus making arbitration agreements in most individual employment contracts enforceable under the Act. Part I argues that a textual analysis of the FAA supports a narrow interpretation of the exception. Because some courts and commentators have argued that the text favors a broad interpretation, Part II examines the legislative history of the exception and demonstrates that no firm conclusions can be drawn about congressional intent regarding the exception's scope. Finally, Part III demonstrates that a narrow reading of the exception best serves …

International Arbitration And Procedures To Enforce Awards In The Relationship Between The United States And Germany, Michael Kronenburg
International Arbitration And Procedures To Enforce Awards In The Relationship Between The United States And Germany, Michael Kronenburg
LLM Theses and Essays
Arbitration has long been regarded as a process that combines finality of decision with speed, low expense, and flexibility in solving problems. For these reasons, arbitration is often favored over litigation for dispute resolution. Particularly in international cases, a businessman may avoid litigation in a foreign country for various reasons: he may be unfamiliar with the proceedings; he may be afraid to find a “forum hostile” because of the different legal and cultural background of the judges; and he may wish to avoid the uncertainty concerning the law arising from the contract. Arbitration proceedings have been held constitutional by the …
