Criminal Law

Theft
Assault
Murder
The horrors of World War II created a consensus among the nations of the world that the relationship between a government and its citizens is a matter of international concern, and that organizations such as the United Nations were needed to provide a permanent venue to address international problems and concerns without resorting to war. The Holocaust and other atrocities committed by supposedly "civilized" counties demonstrated that genocide and crimes against humanity affected the entire world. The unprecedented number of casualties from war crimes, including the bombing of civilian populations, were also plainly a matter of international concern. It is no longer acceptable for brutal and repressive governments to murder their own citizens, torture them, or take other actions that are deemed to violate an international consensus of minimum acceptable standards of conduct. International law, as embedded in the International Declaration of Human Rights and

Employment Law

Employment Discrimination
He not only represented individual employees in grievance disputes, but also handled miscellaneous matters for both private and public sector unions, represented employees in employment discrimination and First Amendment retaliation lawsuits, and represented whistleblowers in a variety of administrative and judicial proceedings.
Employment Litigation
Although labor lawyers are traditionally known for their litigation efforts, Peter has also attempted to devise creative and practical solutions for individual employees, including public employees who are protected by civil service laws. Recognizing that much employment litigation is protracted, expensive, and frequently counterproductive for employees who must continue to work in a hostile environment during the litigation, he attempts to address problems without recourse to litigation whenever possible.
Sexual Harassment
In the last twenty years, there has been a growing consensus that "sexual harassment" in the workplace should not be tolerated. Sexual harassment can take the form of: 1) "quid pro quo" sexual harassment, i.e. threats or promises made in exchange for the granting or withholding of sexual favors, 2) creating a hostile work environment based on gender by such conduct as unwanted touching or even physical assault, verbal assaults, sexually demeaning language, or pornography, or 3) gender-based hostility, where a supervisor expresses hostility towards one gender. Although it is generally agreed that sexual harassment should not be tolerated in the workplace, the question of what particular conduct constitutes sexual harassment, as opposed to conduct that is simply obnoxious, must be resolved on a case-by-case basis. Although sexual harassment is illegal, the Supreme Court has noted that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex should not become "a general civility code for the American workplace".

Health Law

Social Security Disability
After graduating from Livingston College, Rutgers University, in 1972, he worked as a community organizer, and union organizer and business agent (with the Textile Workers Union of America-now part of UNITE-HERE), as a Social Security Disability Claims Examiner for New York State, as a quality control inspector at the Indian Point nuclear power plant, as a New York City taxi driver, and miscellaneous other jobs, before enrolling in Rutgers Law School in 1976.
