The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has held that a Texas attorney may not engage in class arbitration against the parent company of the legal research system LexisNexis.

Jorge L. Contreras, Associate Professor of Law at American University, Washington College of Law, and David L. Newman, Partner in the Intellectual Property Law Group at Arnstein & Lehr LLP, have authored an interesting article entitled, Developing a Framework for Arbitrating Standards-Essential Patent (SEP) Disputes, Journal of Dispute Resolution, (2014, forthcoming).

Last week, the Nevada Supreme Court rejected a non-profit organization’s request to examine records created as part of the state’s Foreclosure Mediation Program.

In an unpublished opinion, the Fifth Circuit has affirmed a Texas federal court’s decision to deny a company’s motion to compel arbitration in an employment discrimination and retaliation lawsuit.
