1997's 10 wackiest employment cases
Article Abstract:
Increasing objections from the federal courts about the volume of employment cases marked 1997, the fifth anniversary of the National Law Journal's survey of the "10 wackiest employment cases." Objections from business groups about workplace over-regulation are also routine, and at least two federal judges have joined calls for reform. They are federal district Judge Stanley Sporkin and United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit judge Terence Evans.
