LABOR UNDER FIRE CODE OF ETHICS
The Common Law
By Peter Landry


I now deal with a species of law known as the common law.
Common law is law that comes from the common people, vers., legislation, which, comes from the "experts"
Common law comes about at the root levels of society: it is not law that is imposed by some authority form on high. The development of common law was "essentially a private affair concerning millions of people throughout dozens of generations and stretching across several centuries."  It is process that is self adjusting and which goes on everyday unnoticed, without great expense to the state and with out fractionalizing society.  This is to be compared to the legislative process, a comparison I make elsewhere.

Guide to the Family & Medical Leave Act:
Questions and Answers


In early 1993, President Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), culminating a nearly decade-long struggle to enact legislation that would allow people to take time off from work to care for their families or themselves.

Before this law was enacted, many American employees were unable to take time off form work in family emergencies for fear of losing their jobs.  In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 1990 only 37 percent of all working women in firms with 100 employees or more were eligible for unpaid maternity leave upon the birth of a child.  In the decades before this law, untold      thousands of employees were forced to choose between caring for their families or keeping their jobs.

By
Terrie L. Weinand

An independent contractor has been working for a company on site for three years.  The worker is denied a full-time position, them files suit claiming that he has actually always been an employee of the company.

What is the issue here?  And why are the courts saying that Microsoft might now be liable for millions of dollars in benefits that were previously denied to its "permatemps".

Common Law and Uncommon Courts: An Overview of the Common Law Court
Movement

By
Mark Pitcavage

The verdict of the county court was predictable.  Caught driving without a license or proof of insurance, Sherry Scotka received a $350 fine from the Kerr County, Texas court for each offense. But Scotka, during the stultifying summer of 1993, was anything but predictable.  Acting as her own lawyer, she appealed the county court's decision, requesting that the Texas Appeals Court transfer her case to the "Common Law Court of the United States of America."  Her argument?  That as a "sovereign citizen" she was outside the jurisdiction of Texas law or Texas courts.
