		<title>No Guinness for You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: Probably neglible, seeing as no one seemed to be offended by Michael&#8217;s Irish jokes, and Michael himself looked slightly flattered by the long hug with Todd &#8220;PacMan&#8221; Packer and Meredith.

Who knew that St. Patrick&#8217;s Day was such an important holiday at Dunder Mifflin? This week on The Office, we saw our favorite regional paper [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby, Baby, Please</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: Not much.

With collective attentions devoted almost entirely to the miracle of childbirth, the Scranton branch didn’t leave us much to work with tonight. Whereas Dwight Schrute’s senseless destruction of Jim and Pam Halpert’s kitchen cabinetry exposes him to a cornucopia of civil and criminal liabilities in his own right, it’s unlikely that his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sabre Rattled - Y&#8217;All Come Back Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: $2,500 for Meredith&#8217;s workers&#8217; comp claim (those paper cuts can sting!) and more grist for the mill for potential future claims.

Tonight&#8217;s episode has the Scranton office continuing to deal with Dunder Mifflin&#8217;s acquisition by Sabre International. This time, it is the arrival of Sabre&#8217;s colorful president, Jo Bennett, and her two rather large [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet the New Boss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: Approximately $5,000 - 10,000; Oscar&#8217;s Dunder Mifflin vacation time &#8230; and the replacement cost of Stanley&#8217;s busted windshield.

Employment law issues often get overlooked in a merger while the parties focus on stock price, transition planning, public relations, and other big-ticket concerns. When Gabe announced to the Scranton employees that Sabre offered two weeks of vacation, Oscar [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dummies, Morons &#38; Idiots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: $0 (which is good because Dunder Mifflin has no money left!)
Unfortunately, tonight&#8217;s episode was another repeat. Matt Rita did a fantastic job covering most of the employee relations issues raised by this episode when it originally aired in November. In this post, we will discuss two moments not discussed in the previous post.

First, Oscar&#8217;s notebook of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Classic Rewind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: In the aggregate, $100 million; most of which is punitive damages
OK, so tonight’s episode &#8211; The Banker –- didn’t really bring us much new material, but it indeed highlighted five years of near-catastrophic employee-relations failures. As Dunder Mifflin verges on economic collapse, a potential investor dispatches its self-proclaimed “fact-checker” to conduct a due-diligence assessment [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old Wine in New Skins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy new year, faithful readers! Those of you who surfed away from the BCS national championship college football game &#8212; apparently sponsored by some company other than Dunder Mifflin &#8212; may have noticed that the most recent episode of The Office was another repeat. An erudite colleague and fellow blogger has already posted on that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jesus Take the Wheel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: One &#8220;Tranny Claus&#8221; = $0; One Disgruntled Jesus Impersonator = $0; Settlement Checks for Offended Employees = $50,000; Getting an XBox from Santa = Priceless.

It&#8217;s the holiday season again and time for our friends at Dunder Mifflin to trim the tree and try to stay off the Naughty List. Some were more successful [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Wanted to Be a Millionaire?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: From Dunder Mifflin&#8217;s corporate perspective, likely $0, though it might find itself having to defend claims that it should be liable for Michael&#8217;s tuition promise. Michael on the other hand . . . but you can&#8217;t get blood from a turnip, right?

Just how long has Michael Scott been wreaking havoc on the greater [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking a Twirl on the Big Stage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Litigation Value: $0. For the second week running, our favorite paper company largely avoided any obvious liability on the employment law front. In fact, Dunder Mifflin may have a (nominal) claim of its own against Michael Scott and his road-tripping entourage, based on their unauthorized limousine frolic.

If this were a securities or bankruptcy law post, [...]]]></description>
