Basically, he's claiming that the firm is a state actor because one of the member of the firm used to hold a government position at some time in the past. |
|
Date: January 25th, 2007 6:10 PM Author: flickering puce french chef Dood, that's great, but you're missing the true magnum opus of ADRIAN ZACK's complaint: the masterful, quasi symphonic way in which he joins his complaint against MNAT (the firm) to that against Michigan. I commend to you the climax of this movement, paragraph #33:
"Plaintiffs believe there is some nexus between the actions of MNAT defendants, other unnamed or current MNAT employees, or unnamed individuals otherwise associated with MNAT defendants, and the actions of the University of Michigan defendants, other unnamed current or former University employees, STUDENTS [my emphasis], or individuals otherwise associated with University Defendants, in furtherance of conspiracy."
HOW CAN YOU ARGUE WITH ADRIAN ZACK? ADRIAN ZACK SEES THE WHEELS WITHIN THE WHEELS. |
|
Date: January 25th, 2007 6:13 PM Author: Cocky university marketing idea I just got to that. I would love to hear his explanation of how Michigan and MNAT got together to co-conspire. But I don't actually know if that's what he's claiming. He may just be an idiot and not realize that two unconnected entities harming the same victim in a similar way aren't co-conspirators by default, simply because the manner of harm inflicted happens to be similar. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=569671&forum_id=2#7485063) |
|
Date: January 25th, 2007 6:17 PM Author: flickering puce french chef This guy graduated, however low-ranked, from the UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Do you think he seriously failed to realize the requirements for a conspiracy? He can't even demonstrate that these two groups knew each other in any sense.
Besides, the manner of harm isn't even similar. Michigan just GRADEPWN3D him (and not even badly enough that he wasn't able to get a 2L summer job, I might point out), while MNAT apparently booted him out of that job before it was done.
Imagine that. Imagine being SO bad that they don't even let you finish up your 2L summer job, but actually physically escort you from the premises before it's over. My god, what was he doing, sniffing all the women's seats and constantly claiming he "smelled sex on them?" |

Did you see his attempt to get MNAT counted as a state actor?!?!!? I don't think this guy learned very much law in law school. Perhaps because he couldn't take hand written notes fast enough. Ah, another allegation to add to the complaint! |
|
Date: December 23rd, 2007 11:41 PM Author: pungent chestnut stage Maybe there is more to the conspiracy than meets the eye, and he'll use the discovery period to drum out the connections between the two entities. Maybe he doesn't want to put all of his cards on the table in the complaint. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=569671&forum_id=2#9067393) |
|
Date: January 25th, 2007 6:18 PM Author: ungodly community account site But what are the chances that TWO UNCONNECTED ENTITIES would both have it out for THE SAME PERSON? Like, Michigan gives him bad grades, and then his firm doesn't even give him an offer? It must be conspiracy. The thing speaks for itself.

Date: January 26th, 2007 9:28 AM Author: Laughsome dead senate circlehead Never a good idea to give negative recommendations unless something like embezzlement was the cause for dismissal and they were caught red handed. Creates too much liability for the employer. Remember this when coaching clients. BTW - most fortune 500 HR Departments don't give negative recommendations - they just say something like, "so and so worked here from X to Y in the position of Z." That is all they'll say and that is code for don't hire this fucking guy.
"A former employee sued her former employer for unlawful retaliation under Title VII. At trial, the former employee demonstrated the former employer provided negative recommendations to a prospective employer in retaliation for the employee's prior discrimination complaints. The jury found in favor of the employee and awarded her $25,000. However, the trial court rejected the verdict because it found she did not prove that due to the negative references she suffered an adverse employment action. According to the trial court, in order to make this showing, the employee had to prove that she would have received the prospective job but for the employer's negative references.
The Tenth Circuit held that the district court erred in requiring the former employee to meet this standard. The Tenth Circuit lessened the employee's burden of proof, holding that in order to prove an adverse action occurred because of negative references, the employee must only show that the negative references would likely preclude her from obtaining employment with the prospective employer. In this case, the prospective employer testified that negative information would have disqualified a candidate for the position (but the negative references were not the reason for its decision not to hire the former employee – the prospective employer claimed that the plaintiff was not hired because her long fingernails would have interfered with her typing speed!). The Tenth Circuit found the former employee proved that she suffered an adverse employment action due to the former employer's negative references. Accordingly, it reinstated the $25,000 jury verdict in favor of the employee." |

As for the unsolicited negative recs, I have no idea how he could know that. Chances are, it's made up, just like his claim that the firm fired him as part of a conspiracy. |

Date: January 26th, 2007 8:26 AM Author: Floppy Pit This is so incredibly wrong. Many schools, and also the government, actually have a definition for what it means to be Native American (must be recognized by a tribe or have 1/16 native american blood, or whatever). Neither law school nor the government, however, have a definition for "hispanic" or "african-american" - it's 100% self-selection. It's really, really, hard to prove someone isn't african-american or hispanic if they claim they are, because they can just say "yeah, my great-great-grandmother was black, so I consider myself black." There is no 1/16 rule or anything for african-american or hispanic. |

Tuesday, May 26, 1998 - Seattle Times by Tom Brune Seattle Times staff reporter
Elizabeth Lake says she has always thought of herself as a Native American.
So two years ago, when filling out a state-government job application that asked her race or culture, she didn't think twice about checking the box labeled "American Indian."
She eventually landed a job with the Department of Social and Health Services. But within the first week, a supervisor pulled Lake out of a training session.
"She said she could not visibly determine my race," recalls Lake, who has long, dark hair, dark eyes and a light complexion.
The supervisor told Lake she had been hired to meet an affirmative-action goal for American Indians, and that if she could not prove her race, the job offer would be withdrawn.
The next day, Lake brought in documents showing her great-grandfather was a member of the Chickasaw Nation.
But her supervisors told her she needed proof that she was a member of a tribe - and that she had a month to produce it.
She didn't. She lost her job.
Lake has since learned she is 1/128th Chickasaw Indian, enough for her to get a tribal-affiliation card, sufficient documentation for the state.
