Michael Sullivan Headline Speaker at 2014 Alliance of Public Charter Schools Attorneys
Michael Sullivan, chair of the firm's Labor & Employment Group, was the headline speaker for the 2014 Alliance of Public Charter Schools Attorneys conference in Santa Monica, California. On September 11, he addressed, among other issues, the effect of the Supreme Court's Noel Canning decision on charter schools. Mike and Jon Klinghoffer authored an amicus curiae brief for the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools in an important case, Chicago Mathematics & Science Academy Charter School, Inc., that confirmed the National Labor Relations Board's jurisdiction over charter schools. The future of that decision's holding after Noel Canning is in question and Mike has been asked to guide charter schools through the resulting, complicated decision tree for schools who are being organized by labor unions.
