Michael K. Braswell , Gary A. Moore , Stephen L. Poe AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: AN ASSESSMENT OF ITS CONTINUING ROLE IN EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION POLICY 57 Albany Law Review 365 (1993) Affirmative action continues to be a source of controversy for many Americans.

Mark Berger CAN EMPLOYMENT LAW ARBITRATION WORK? 61 UMKC Law Review 693 (Summer, 1993) The workplace of the 1990's is a far more regulated environment than it was in the early part of the twentieth century.

But each new legal right created for... 1993
