Motion to vacate an arbitration award.

Practice point: In light of the arbitrator's conclusions that a teacher in the New York City school system for more than 23 years had successfully undergone treatment for her addiction and that she was "fit to teach," the arbitration award imposing a fine equal to two months' salary, rather than termination, was not irrational and did not violate strong public policy.

Case: City School District of the City of New York v. Lorber, NY Slip Op 03050 (1st Dept. 2008)
