In this episode, Professor Josh Galperin, Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law interviews me about equitable remedies and promissory estoppel.
Some key takeways...
1. Promissory estoppel is an equitable remedy, awarded for fairness when a legal remedy is not available.
2. Promissory estoppel is only available in the absence of a legal contract.
3. Promissory estoppel is available if
(1) the promisor should reasonably expect to induce action or forbearance on the part of the promisee (objective evaluation)
(2) the promisee did rely on the promise (subjective evaluation)
(3) injustice can only be avoided by granting a remedy

Labor law focuses on the law of collective action and groups, such as unions, in the workplace. Employment law focuses more on individual rights in the workplace. Many schools combine the classes.

Professor Luke Norris, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Richmond School of Law explains the difference between Labor Law and Employment Law classes and provides an explanation for why each is worth taking in as an upper-level law school class.

In this episode...
State Supreme Courts have only awarded six posthumous bar admissions for those denied admission based on race.Of the 6 posthumous admissions to date, 3 were Asian American men, and 3 were African American.Asian Americans were prevented from becoming lawyers based on federal laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act, while African Americans were discriminated against based on specific laws in states like California and Maryland that barred Blacks from becoming lawyers, as well as by systemic racism.Due to the lack of scholarship into this area and difficulties in locating documentary evidence of such exclusions, no one knows how many aspiring attorneys of color were prevented from entering the legal profession.
We speak with Judge, Attorney, Historian, and Professor John Browning about righting historic wrongs. Prof. Browning has dedicated the past few years correcting the racial wrongs of State Bars. Last year, he secured admission for an African American man who aspired to be a lawyer in the 1880s but was denied bar admission because of his race. He is currently petitioning the New York State Bar to admit Ely S. Parker, a Native American War hero and the First Commissioner of Native American Affairs.
