Jr.; Maness, Audrey LynnTracks arbitration challenges as they would appear in a lawsuit by dealing first with opinions regarding jurisdiction and arbitrability, and then addressing judicial review of subsequent awards. Because Mattel has been so influential to the issue of judicial review, particularly in a circuit that followed a different rule for a decade, a significant portion of this Article is dedicated to that issue.Item Labor and Employment Law Update(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Schooler, Lionel M.During the reporting period, both the United States Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit issued several significant employment-related decisions. Discusses these decisions in sequence by the various laws they interpret, including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 1866 Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the National Labor Relations Act, the Sarbanes Oxley Act," the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, Texas common law, and the Federal Arbitration Act.Item Holocaust Denial and Governmentally Declared "Truth": French and American Perspectives(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Weaver, Russell L.; Delpierre, Nicolas; Boissier, LaurenceExamines the French law on Holocaust denial with a particular focus on recent prosecutions of prominent French individuals (often members of the National Front, a right-wing political party). In addition, it provides American and French perspectives on the Holocaust denial problem and the French prosecutions.Item Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, But Do They Make Good Cents?: A Sought-of-the-Border Fence Guide to Theories of Compensation for Property(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Lewis, MorganAddresses whether the federal government is violating the Takings Clause in the U.S. Constitution by denying compensation to owners of the property between the Rio Grande River and the border fence.Item Fourth Amendment(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Baird, Charles F.; Avots, KristinReview of the Fourth Amendment cases from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The cases in this Survey period differ little from the cases in the other periods. What appears most striking is the number of unpublished Fourth Amendment cases, which leads me to conclude that many Fourth Amendment cases are resolved by relying on the Circuit's well-settled decisional authority.Item Foreword(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Owen, PriscillaReviews Fifth Circuit's eventful 2008 calendar year.Item Forensic Analysis of Marijuana and the Kurzman Mystery: A Case Study of Flawed Logic in Determination of Guilt(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Whitehurst, FredericHighlights determinations of innocence necessarily guides to this question: If DNA has consistently lead to findings of innocence, then has the rest of forensic science found guilt when in fact innocence exists? We need a model to ask and answer this question. Argues that we need a forensic technique, a protocol, that is easily understood and that has resulted in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
