INTRODUCTION Oscar Wilde said, "I can resist anything except temptation."' Many clients may agree. They may be tempted to jump into a common interest arrangement with strange bedfellows to gain the advantages that information-sharing provides. Attorneys, nonethe- less, must make sure that when they jump, their clients do so with both eyes open. The potential that the common interest doctrine may provide a client with advantages in current litigation renders it a very attrac- tive tool from a client's perspective. The common interest doctrine is an evidentiary mechanism permitting independent clients with a common legal interest to share attorney-client privileged informa- tion with each other without waiving that privilege.

  • RESPONSE to the INTRASTATE COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE COMMITTEE Through Senate Concurrent Resolution 125 During the 2020 Legislative Session
    RESPONSE TO THE INTRASTATE COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE COMMITTEE through Senate Concurrent Resolution 125 during the 2020 Legislative Session INTRODUCTION Kudos to the State of Idaho for having the foresight to form the Intrastate Commercial Air Service Committee at this juncture in the U.S. airline industry’s evolution timeline. Whereas many states are working hard to deal with their respective economies, the State of Idaho (Idaho) , through this Request for Proposal (RFP), clearly appreciates the importance of commercial air transportation in facilitating the fiscal health of Idaho in what will ultimately be a post-COVID environment. In fact, this is one of the very first RFP’s to be offered for bid in 2020. There are other states that recognize that the world of commercial air transportation in the U.S. will undergo structural change, but few are proactively acting to understand the issues in front of them. In this RFP, our approach will likely be different than other firms responding to Idaho’s request. What is most attractive to us, is the fact that the committee is comprised of a diverse group of leaders in commercial air service, travel and the business community. It will take the expertise of each of them, and likely more, to put together a sustainable approach. Not only is this a time where history will not hold most of the answers about predicting a post- COVID air service market for Idaho, it is also a period of change for us. My name is William Swelbar and my partner is Albert Zhong. Together we have more than 60 years of experience studying issues like the one you have presented.

  • Eyes Wide Open: Perceived Exploitation and Its Consequences
    r Academy of Management Journal 2019, Vol. 62, No. 6, 1989–2018. https://doi.org/10.5465/amj.2017.1421 EYES WIDE OPEN: PERCEIVED EXPLOITATION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES EPHRAT LIVNE-OFER New York University JACQUELINE A-M. COYLE-SHAPIRO London School of Economics and Political Science and California State University San Bernardino JONE L. PEARCE University of California, Irvine Drawing on the array of literature on exploitation from several social science disciplines, we propose a new way of seeing employer–employee relationships by introducing the concept of perceived exploitative employee–organization relationships, distinguish it from related concepts, and conduct five studies to develop a scale and test our theoretical model of the effects of such employee perceptions. Contributing to the employee– organization relationships and workplace emotions literatures, perceived exploitation is defined as employees’ perceptions that they have been purposefully taken advantage of in their relationship with the organization, to the benefit of the organization itself. We propose and find that such perceptions are associated with both outward-focused emo- tions of anger and hostility toward the organization and inward-focused ones of shame and guilt at remaining in an exploitative job. In two studies including construction workers and a time-lagged study of medical residents, we find that the emotions of anger and hostility partially mediate the effects of perceived exploitation on employee en- gagement, revenge against the organization, organizational commitment, and turnover intentions, whereas the emotions of shame and guilt partially mediate the effects of perceived exploitation on employee burnout, silence, and psychological withdrawal. The exploitation of workers is not a plague of the their employees today, considering changes in em- past, or of failed states and countries where the ployment relationships including the decline in trade workforce may be weakly protected by law.

  • Making the Idaho Landscape of 1863
    4 5 Making the Idaho Landscape of 1863 by Adam M. Sowards andscapes emerge from history. Geologic history, of course, plays a formative role, furnishing the bedrock of our environmental past. But landscapes are more than volcanism and the migration of flora and fauna. Landscapes are cultural artifacts, for they include humans integrally. The Idaho landscape of 1863, then, must be understood in its historical continuum, as a place produced by nature Land culture shaping one another over time and in place. In 1863—the inauguration of Idaho’s territorial period—the landscape represented the culmination of millennia influenced by Native peoples and the short but influential hand of Euroamericans. As are all places, Idaho in 1863 was a landscape in transition. The indigenous people who called Idaho home since time immemorial lived in an inhabited landscape, a place animated by animal people and plant partners, a place where abundance and scarcity came in cycles with seasonal and climatic changes, a place where human and natural communities related in rituals of reciprocity. Ancient, but on-going, oral traditions stress how Animal Peoples prepared the world for Human Peoples, offered gifts and lessons, and, together, they mutually made the world. And so long as the stories still are told and traditions performed, they continue to make the world together. Idaho’s Native populations—from the Ktunaxa (Kootenai) in the north to the Bannaqwate (Bannock) in the southeast—represented several cultural groups, but com- mon notions of reciprocity and sharing guided Native peoples’ relationship with rest of nature. The Nimíipuu (Nez Perce) community would begin salmon season with rituals and a © David Jensen Photography Petroglyphs at Buffalo Eddy on the Snake River.
