Today, the U.S. Supreme Court heard what may be the most important workers' rights cases in over 80 years. The employers' arguments dismiss the National Labor Relations Board, gut the labor laws, and falsely make eliminating class actions the "core" of the Federal Arbitration Act. Their implications, moreover, are staggering.

White-Collar Crime columnists Robert J. Anello and Richard F. Albert write: The lifelong collateral consequences of a criminal conviction, imposed by state and federal statutes and regulations, can make it nearly impossible for many to obtain gainful employment, support their families or otherwise live productive lives. Unfortunately, under today's federal legal framework, expungement is virtually impossible. Although a near-term legislative fix may be a long shot, recent bipartisan legislation proposed in both houses of Congress shows that the issue at least is on federal lawmakers' radar screen.

Medical Malpractice columnists Thomas A. Moore and Matthew Gaier write: When someone is admitted to a hospital as the patient of a private attending physician, the hospital may still be subject to vicarious liability under the doctrine of ostensible agency for physicians who become involved in the patient's care during the admission. This question commonly arises with anesthesiologists and radiologists, although it may also apply where any physician is assigned by a hospital to provide a service or a consultation.

In his Federal E-Discovery column, H. Christopher Boehning and Daniel J. Toal write: 'Van Zant' is a reminder to parties of the expansive notion of control in the circuit and that behavior by parties or even non-parties with information in a company's legal control can have a potentially significant impact on the outcome of a matter. The decision also demonstrates that electronically stored information is more than just email and that parties should thoughtfully consider and manage information such as text messages as part of their preservation and e-discovery efforts.

Daniel J. Kornstein writes: I was startled by an article in the New York Times recently about Judge Richard Posner. "I pay very little attention to legal rules, statutes, constitutional provisions," he said. "A case is just a dispute. The first thing you do is ask yourself—forget about the law—what is sensible resolution of this dispute?" What is going on here?
