(AA:4) FINRA requires certain disclosures prior to appointing arbitrators. First the parties must give potential arbitrators information about the nature of the dispute, and identify the parties. (FINRA Rule 12405(a)) Then each potential arbitrator must make a reasonable effort to “learn of, and must disclose…any circumstances which might preclude the arbitrator from rendering an objective and impartial determination.” (FINRA Rule 12405(a)) This includes any relationship or circumstances involving members of the arbitrator’s family.

(FINRA Rule 12405(b)) The California Court of Appeal found that an …show more content…
Malloy’s relationship with Mr. Dial would clearly meet the standard of relationships to disclose under FINRA. This is the perfect example of what the justice and judge were speaking of in Commonwealth and Johnston. This is the type of relationship that on its face shows there is a need for disclosure. Mr. Malloy’s relationship with his stepson is much more intricate than the acquaintances who occasionally refer cases in Johnston. First it is a parental relationship, which implicates much more of a bias than a mere business acquaintance. Second, Mr. Malloy was involved in the conflict between Mr. Dial and Martins Lydel and Ms. Shaw. Mr. Dial had confided in Mr. Malloy about his conflict with Martins Lydel. Mr. Malloy was aware that Martins Lydel had fired his stepson and was assisting him in at least getting his “U-5” reclassified if not a potential

The case of Malloy v. Hogan, 378 U.S. 1, is a United States Supreme Court case, which made the protections, granted under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, applicable to all state proceedings. The question, which arose to bring this case to light, was the question of whether or not a person could invoke his or her protections against self-incrimination, under the Fifth Amendment, during state proceedings. In 1959, the petitioner, Malloy, was arrested on a misdemeanor gambling offense in Hartford, Connecticut (Malloy v. Hogan, 1964). Malloy subsequently plead guilty to this offense, and was sentenced to a term in jail of one year, and fined. His sentence was later suspended to 90 days to serve, and two years of probation upon his release.

Norris-LaGuardia Act of 1932 was enacted by congress it liberated organized labor from the federal courts injunctions. Prior to the act a federal judge could be convinced that a strike, picketing, or boycott would violate the law they would issue an injunction so that the union would have to stop the strike (Bernstein, N.N.. 2015). Norris-LaGuardia Act is called a "yellow dog" contract, an employee promises not to join the union to stay in contract with their employer. It made it so federal judges could not issue injunctions if the strike was not violent. The act defined "labor dispute" so that there was no possible misunderstanding of the terms of employment (Bernstein, N.N.. 2015).

October 2nd, 2002 was the start of a long and horrific three weeks in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area. People were terrified to be in the area and everyone was on edge. What appeared to be random killings, turned out to be a well-organized series of senseless shootings that took the lives of ten innocent people. After days of people being scared to death and much confusion, investigators discovered that there were two suspects in the shootings; John Allen Muhammad and his teenage partner Lee Boyd Malvo and they were in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan designed to terrorize people. This break in the case came when one of the suspects called the tip hotline and told them to look into a murder in Alabama, which lead to the case being

In preparing to take on a new client Alvarez & Marshal (A&M), we must first examine the prior history of their case. In Laduzinski v. Alvarez & Marshal, the plaintiff is seeking damages for being fraudulently induced into leaving his employment at J.P. Morgan and accepting the defendant’s offer of employment based on misrepresentations of the job made to him. Laduzinski claims that instead of managing the “sizable workload” that A&M highlighted in his contract, he was instead asked to hand over his previous client list and terminated thereafter. Given these facts, we must determine if A&M Managing Director Perez’s statements of the job description are a misrepresentation of fact or non-actionable future promises, which would determine if Laduzinski has claim for fraudulent inducement. Furthermore, we need to examine how we can strengthen A&M’s merger clause for the future and if the plaintiff has grounds to claim unjust enrichment – when one party benefits at the expense of the other, or promissory estoppel – the ability to recover damages due to a party’s reasonable reliability on a promise.
