Alaska Legal Miscellanea: Federal Parol Evidence Rule, Jazz, and the ELS
Jump to Comments
Parol evidence: Where a seaman’s written employment contract is unambiguous (here, as to duration) and contains an integration clause, it bars parol evidence and is not unconscionable per se, despite the “unearned wages” rule in maritime law. Day v. American Seafood, 2009 WL _______ (9th Cir. May 2, 2009)
Jazz and integration: Just published is a book on Cafe Society, the Manhattan club that pioneered racial integration of the jazz music scene in the late 1930’s. The club was run by Barney Josephson, uncle of Anchorage long-time employment/labor attorney Joe Josephson.
ELS meeting cancelled: There’s no meeting of the Employment Law Section today.
