Should We Get Rid Of The Bar Exam?, John Lande

Faculty Blogs

This post discusses an article analyzing empirical data about licensing of lawyers in Wisconsin. Graduates of Wisconsin schools have a diploma privilege and are licensed in that state without taking a bar exam. The article argues that bar exams generally don’t fulfill their purpose of protecting the public.

Mediation Response Unit Shows Potential As An Alternative 911 Response, Olivia Kalsner Kershen

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution (CJCR) Blog

In May 2022, the City of Dayton, Ohio formally launched a new pilot program that sends trained mediators to respond to low emergency 911 calls to de-escalate non-violent conflicts and mediate disputes among community members. This new initiative, called the Mediation Response Unit (MRU), is the first of its kind in the nation as it sends mediation teams to respond to calls without a co-response by police.

The Matryoshka Model: Understanding The Relationship Between Delegation Provisions And The Broader Arbitration Agreements That Contain Them, Michael P. Bitgood

Texas A&M Law Review

This Note analyzes a 2021 decision in which a Ninth Circuit panel diverged from its sister circuits on whether an arbitrator may decide the enforceability of an arbitration agreement that excludes the application of federal law in the arbitration proceedings. In Brice v. Plain Green, LLC (Brice I), the Ninth Circuit panel considered several arbitration agreements that contained delegation provisions.

Analyzing the enforceability of the delegation provisions apart from that of the arbitration agreements, the panel …

The Ongoing Patent Battle Over Crispr/Cas-9, Shifra Ben-Jacob

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution (CJCR) Blog

CRISPR/Cas 9 is a bacterial defense system for editing genomes that has been coined one of the most monumental biotechnologies since the discovery of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Since 2012, two research teams, one out of the University of California, Berkeley, and the other from both the Broad Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have been battling an ongoing patent war. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is left to decide who can claim the technology as their own.
