National Football League v. Williams
Petition for certiorari denied on November 8, 2010
Disclosure: The following petition was filed by Akin Gump.
Issue: Whether, when federal subject matter jurisdiction is not in question, defenses that require analysis of a collective-bargaining agreement may substantively preempt state-law claims under Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, or whether such defenses are instead categorically irrelevant to preemption analysis.
