Supreme Court Issues Four Decisions Favorable to Employers
The U.S. Supreme Court issued four decisions in 2013 involving important questions of employment law that are being widely praised by corporate attorneys for their “pro-employer” rulings. Companies should be aware of these decisions so that they can take advantage of the potential defenses they offer. However, these decisions do not change the fundamental rules of employment law or the importance of maintaining an effective employee relations program. Companies must remain vigilant to ensure that their interests are protected.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed.
