Questiоn Twо (One Hоur аnd а Hаlf) The city of Daley, in the state of Jackson, is accused by its critics of being a last bastion of what used be called the "good ole' boys" system of governance in which all the effective powers are held by a small, exclusive group of men who exercise them for their own benefit. (To be clear, the Daley leaders deny they run any such system.) In a world of civil rights laws and social media, it is difficult to operate in the old ways. Daley's leaders have no choice but to allow all to apply for the principal positions in city government, and they, of course, say all the right things about how they hire only on merit, not race, gender, politics, or any other illegitimate factors. But what gives some people pause is the potential importance of one of Daley's great traditions, the monthly party held the fourth Friday of each month at the gorgeous mansion owned by John Byrne, the city's leading banker and one of its richest men. Byrne invites nearly all the city's elected officials and nearly all of the leaders of the dominant political party, as well as leading figures from business, the professions, and the media. (Needless to say, the party is by invitation only—and those invited come.) They stay at Byrne's for hours, talking and drinking until the wee hours of the night. But if you dropped in, you would notice something unusual—other than staff, no women are present. When asked, Byrne always says that it's his house, his party, and he'll invite who he wants. He says that, in his personal opinion, these great men would never relax and speak to each other frankly if women were present. These old fashioned, chivalrous men, for example, would have to watch their language, clean out the sex from their stories, watch how much they drink, and how they behave, making it impossible to be their honest selves. Byrne says that building close relationships is invaluable to the welfare of the city, and, in any event, the invitation list is his personal business. The problem is that it appears that Byrne, over the years, has also invited—often for the only time they will have been to the mansion—every leading candidate for key vacancies in city government. Those invited have the opportunity to have long, candid conversation with those who decide who to hire. Women who apply for these top jobs do get interviews during the work day with the key leaders, but the applicants describe the interviews as perfunctory and superficial. What about the data? Nearly 70% of all of those who are hired for top city jobs attended at least one of the parties (and another 5% are men who did not attend a party.) Women make up nearly all the remaining 25%, almost none of whom hold any of the top positions. A class of women who applied for the jobs and were turned down have sued the city, with their allegations centering on the centrality of the Byrne party to the city leaders' deliberations. The women who believe themselves victimized are not content with the filing of lawsuits. A large group of activists began to camp out every fourth Friday (the day of the party) in front of the Byrne mansion and picketed the house, shouting at (but not blocking) those seeking to enter the mansion, for several hours (but not past 9:00 pm). Their shouting could be heard within the Byrne home, as well as in other houses in the block, including by children living in these homes. The Daley City Council, finding the disturbance of private citizens for political purposes intolerable, have enacted an ordinance requiring that all picketing, for any purpose, must stay at least 1,000 feet away from any private residence. Due to this ordinance, the Byrne mansion picketers have been forced to relocate to a park-like median at the head of the street. They can easily be seen from the mansion and the street (and are still pictured in the media), but they can no longer be heard by those entering or staying within the mansion. The protestors have sued. The Daley way of governance is tough on others as well. Jim Dimon was happily employed as a health inspector for the city department of food safety. When he was hired 19 months ago, his supervisor sent him a memo stating that he was "expected to inspect at least ten establishments a month or he could expect to be terminated, and if he reached 15 a month, he would be considered a high performer and in line for a raise." The memo also stated that he was expected "to be available for emergency inspections upon demand." In his first year, he averaged an agency-high 17 a month, and received a raise. He was on the same pace for the next year. Unfortunately, a month ago, Dimon's pregnant wife had a miscarriage scare, and while Dimon was rushing her to the hospital, he did not see the cellphone call from his supervisor, telling him he was needed for an emergency inspection. When he showed up to work the next day, he was told that he was terminated and needed to pack his personal belongings and immediately vacate the premises. When he asked to speak to his supervisor so he could explain his circumstances, he was told that no one had the time to speak to someone who was not available to do the job and then was told to never contact them again. Dimon believes that any decent organization would have at least afforded him the respect of a meeting and has sued. It is not surprising, then, that so many who deal with the Daley crowd turn to rage. John Harris is an attorney who practices in the Daley courts. His soon-to-be ex-wife is a court reporter. One day, while having drinks after work, an acquaintance told Harris that his wife was having an affair with one of the judges and told Harris the name. Harris immediately knew the intelligence was correct because his wife had just worked a long trial presided over by that judge. Harris decided to plan his revenge carefully. Less than a week after he was told the bad news, he found out that the judge's daughter, who is a homemaker, was going to appear on a live, call-in television show to discuss some of her home recipes. Here was his chance. Harris called in, asked the daughter if she knew whether or not her father had a habit of screwing other men's wives, and then described the affair in graphic terms because, as he explained, the public has the right to know when a judge has no integrity. The daughter, as well as her family, were terribly humiliated and devastated by this outrageous act, just as Harris had intended. The Daley judicial system also was publicly lambasted over this lurid affair. The consequences, however, have also been great for Harris. The daughter has sued him for his vicious and vindictive attack on her and her family. Worse yet, the Jackson Bar Association has handed Harris a one year suspension from the practice of law for, according to the specific state rule, "conduct that brings the judicial system and the legal profession into disrepute." Harris insists he has the truth on his side and vows to fight back. You are an Assistant State Attorney General. Write a memo to your supervisor analyzing all the constitutional issues regarding: both the lawsuits of the female applicants and the protestors against the city; the lawsuit over the manner of Dimon's termination; and both the lawsuit and the bar proceeding against Harris. Make sure you fully explain both the constitutional bases for any causes of action, as well as the legal defenses that can be raised against the claims. Do not discuss areas of law not covered in this course.
