Scope and Contents

Correspondence with various people including Jack Barbash, Dean Catherwood, and Jacob Seidenberg relative to the study of the use of the injunction in labor disputes by courts in certain areas of New York state. The project included a quantitative study of the court records of New York and Kings Counties with the purpose of uncovering all the labor injunctions which were litigated from 1935 to June 1950. Also, the project included a study of the impact of the injunctions on collective bargaining relationships, which was accomplished by interviewing prominent lawyers involved in labor practice and by conducting some case studies of situations in which the injunction had been used. The study was included in the Senate Report, "State Court Injunctions," Senate Document Number 7, Eighty-First Congress, Second Session. Jacob Seidenberg conducted the study under Konvitz's supervision. Other material related to the Subcommittee's injunction study.
