However, that decision was reversed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit who, “then denied rehearing” (Cornell University Law School LII, 2000). The United States Supreme Court, “granted certiorari, 528 U.S. 1153 (2000) and affirmed” (Cornell University Law School LII,

She claimed that when she called her office to check her messages, Bacanovic had left her a message advising her to sell her stock because the stock had feel below $60 a share and supposedly that was their prior agreement of doing so (Leite, 2012). Stewart claimed that she filed something called a “stop-loss” order, which was meant to say that if the shares had fell below $60, she would pull out of the company. Yet, Stewart’s justification that she gave to investigators about why she sold her shares and the “stop-loss” order did not match the testimony that Bacanovic’s assistant (Donald Faneuil) gave (Leite, 2012). According to the assistant, who personally handled selling Stewart’s shares, he claimed that Bacanovic wanted him to lie about a “stop-loss” order and that he received money bribes for doing so. Now this information was taken with a grain of salt the second time around because initially he lied to investigators about how Stewart did indeed have a “stop-loss” order.

Specifically, junior partners would have to invest about 80% of their annual bonus, instead of the 30% they previously had invested. Hertach believed that the senior partners organized a system that would allow them to cash out, potentially draining GLC’s capital, thus adversely affecting Hertach through the financial risks and obligations this proposal would carry.

For example, in Ritchie v. People (1895), the Illinois Supreme Court rejected the eight-hour provision from the Law of 1893, because it violated the Fourteenth Amendment by depriving women of freedom of contract, which is derived from the due process clause (A14.1). The decision rooted from the larger political battle occuring at the time- most wealthy businesses and political leaders did not support protective laws - which led to a display of false paternity/equality by the justices. In dismay, Florence Kelley rejected that the Fourteenth Amendment could be used in such a manner, and said, “The measure to guarantee the Negro freedom from oppression has become an insuperable obstacle to the protection of women and children” (W15). In the campaign for protective rights for laborers, the ruling from Ritchie v. People marked a defeat, but not an end. In 1908, Kelley, and the NCL, sought redemption through the case of Muller v. Oregon (case description), and picked an attorney, Louis Brandeis, who “seemed like a champion to fight her battle in court” (W26).
