This class focuses on the historically important role of arbitration in labor and employment law. At the outset of the class students will become acquainted with basic arbitration law and practice in the fields of union and non-union employment, including decisions reflecting the continuing debate over compelling arbitration of statutory discrimination laws for individuals. A few readings will cover key legal principles arising under the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, and the Federal Arbitration Act. For the balance of the course, students will be assigned practice and simulation exercises, such as direct and cross examination and handling procedural and evidentiary issues. We will also have a mock arbitration hearing presented to professional arbitrators. The exercises are similar to those used in professional legal education programs developed by the instructors for advocates and arbitrators. Some of the topics will include brief writing assignments. There is no prerequisite for the course. Some students might find past or current study of courses such as labor law, employment law, and evidence to be helpful but they are not required.

Arbitrator Dooley has broad experience with parties in the public and private sectors, including healthcare, education, higher education, building services, building trades, entertainment, shipping, transportation, and service industries.
