A review by Dean Eboni S. Nelson was featured on Jotwell on October 9.

Nelson reviewed Rachel G. Ngo Ntomp’s article “The Small Business Dilemma,” which appeared in the Washington and Lee Law Review, identifying it as one of the best works of recent scholarship relating to Contracts.

“I greatly enjoyed reading Professor Ntomp’s article, and I applaud her for penning such an ambitious and excellent paper that draws our attention to an important yet rarely discussed issue,” Nelson wrote. “Her informative discussion of the small business dilemma highlights the critical role small businesses play in our society and their vulnerabilities that necessitate greater protection against unfair and unconscionable terms.”

Professor Leslie Levin spoke with Bloomberg Law News about a recent case in which a law firm fired one of its attorneys for a social media post appearing to criticize slain activist Charlie Kirk, and the need for firms to allow attorneys independence to express their views.

“Just as law firms claim the importance of lawyers maintaining their independence so they can stand up for certain political issues, they shouldn’t be firing lawyers, in most cases, for expressing their political views,” Levin said.
