 Project DIANA : Duffield v. Robertson Stephens & Co: Decision of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
Duffield argues that Congress' intent to preclude the compulsory arbitration of Title VII claims is conclusively demonstrated in the text and/or legislative history of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as well as by an examination of its purposes.
Duffield's first argument is that state action is present because "federal law requires all broker-dealers to register with a national securities exchange (i.e., the NYSE or NASD), and to abide by the rules of that exchange -- including its mandatory arbitration rules -- as a condition of their continued employment." Appellant's Brief at 43.
Duffield attempts to take advantage of this new regulation by arguing that its registration requirement was a governmentally imposed condition of her continuing employment and that Robertson Stephens did not invoke the arbitration clause until 1995 when it moved to compel arbitration.

B Duffield argues that Congress' intent to preclude the com- pulsory arbitration of Title VII claims is conclusively demon- strated in the text and/or legislative history of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as well as by an examination of its purposes.
III Duffield also argues that she cannot be required to arbitrate her claims because the arbitration agreement imposes an unconstitutional condition of employment.
Duffield has pointed to numerous instances of the SEC's oversight and development of the exchanges' arbitration rules and procedures, but she has failed to put forth any example of governmental encouragement or endorsement of the compul- sory arbitration requirement itself.

Duffield will not be the only change on the face of the quad, whose design and planning date back to the 1940s and 1950s.
Duffield Hall, said Spiro, will be one of the most sophisticated buildings ever to rise on the Cornell campus and one of the most advanced university research centers anywhere.

That is because of the commanding atrium, which, he said, will be both a pedestrian corridor and a destination point.
