Michael Finkelstein and Joshua Dierker, students in the LSU Law Center’s Civil Mediation Clinic, were published in the October/November issue of the Louisiana Bar Journal in the “Recent Developments” section. Finkelstein wrote about the recent National Football League dispute and Dierker noted the Louisiana Supreme Court’s decision in FIA CardServs., N.A. v. Weaver, 10-1372 (La. 3/15/11), 62 So.3d 709. The students’ work was part of a class project designed by Adjunct Clinical Professor Paul Breaux.
