91��Ƶ Haub Law Professor Imre Szalai provides expert commentary to Bloomberg Law regarding the Second Circuit’s recent decision in Flores v. New York Football Giants, Inc., which struck down the NFL’s arbitration provision giving Commissioner Roger Goodell final authority over discrimination disputes.

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professor Bennett Gershman speaks to Reuters about the reported use of social media teams during FBI arrests in D.C. “It’s an outrageous tactic for promotional purposes,” he said, calling it constitutionally and ethically problematic— the story garners national and international pickup.
