Amberite Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Legion is right. It's all at the discretion of the arbitrator. No matter what the CBA says it can be interpreted in different ways. It's also at the discretion of any judge in any courtroom in the US to make his own judgment. At the end of the day, though, the judge still has a set of laws that direct his judgments. Same thing with the arbitrator when he interprets the CBA to make his final judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is...well you said it yourself: "Same thing with the arbitrator when he interprets the CBA to make his final judgment." There are different ways to interpret each article. So there is no way to tell how the arbitrator will interpret any given part of the CBA. Edited July 30, 2010 by ben00rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big difference is that a judge is answerable to an appellate court, an arbitrator is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with the arbitrator. After studying law for 3 years, I cannot disagree with you more about this. I've worked in several DA offices and there are always judges that will blatantly make up their own law. Yes there are rules and guidelines but no they aren't always followed. That's why we have appellate courts. More on point. TG's Twitter The hearing will likely be held over two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way in which you phrase it made it sound like judges as a whole are predictable. I do not agree based on the court rooms that I have been in and the cases I have read. While I used an extreme example to highlight my point, not to attack the credibility of you or your post. I disagreed with what I read to be your overly broad statement. No need to be testy.

While I used an extreme example to highlight my point, not to attack the credibility of you or your post. I disagreed with what I read to be your overly broad statement. No need to be testy. Judges as a whole ARE predictable. Lawyers can usually tell their clients ahead of time what to expect before judgment is handed down. The only part that is unpredictable is how many penalties under the law the judge will choose to exercise. Also, there are many types of law (divorce law, etc) where the judge has much more leeway and discretion in how he chooses to act, and these are basically unpredictable by design. As you said, there are certainly cases where a judge's decision will come out of left field, and I'm not surprised you're reading about them because a lot of these cases are focused on in law schools. However, these are definitely not the norm and I still maintain my stance that on the whole, judges are fairly predictable and follow the written law. And there is no reason to believe that an arbitrator will be any different when he handles this case. Edited July 30, 2010 by Amberite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
