This podcast was recorded in place of our Winter 2017 Symposium, which was cancelled because of harsh weather conditions.

We were joined by Professor Paul Teich, a Professor at New England Law | Boston, to discuss his recent Article published in On Remand: The Near-Term Employment Prospects of American Law School Graduates. Professor Teich has studied this topic in depth, and has compiled various data available including graduation rates, retention rates, and employment rates of new graduates. An analysis of this data, according to Professor Teich, will actually lead to a shortage of law school graduates who can fill the average jobs available each year. This conclusion is in stark contradiction of the mainstream media’s reporting of the unavailability of jobs in the legal market. Additionally, Professor Teich breaks down how he analyzed the data to make this conclusion. If you are a law student or newly graduated law student, or interested in the job market for legal employment, this Podcast will shed light on the empirical data available to explain that job prospects are looking better.

Today, we are discussing a recent Mass. Crim. Digest blog post on Commonwealth v. Vacher, decided August 14, 2014. The Mass. Crim. Digest, formerly known as the Massachusetts Criminal Digest, was the New England Law Review’s online case-summary database that provided citable, straightforward summaries of recent criminal law cases decided by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, or SJC. In 2014 the Mass. Crim. Digest was retired, though summaries of cases decided by the SJC under Articles 12 and 14 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights are still provided through our editor blog. We are joined by a Volume 49 Comment and Note Editor, Catherine Flaherty, to discuss her Mass. Crim. Digest blog post about Commonwealth v. Vacher, citation of which is 469 Mass. 425, again decided August 14, 2014. Catherine, thank you for joining me today.

Today, we are joined by Bruce Sunstein, founder and partner at Sunstein Kahn Murphy & Timbers, LLP, to discuss his forthcoming article “How Prometheus Has Upended Patent Eligibility: An Anatomy of Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank.” His Article discusses the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank, in which the Court ruled on the patent-eligibility of computer-related inventions, clarifying confusion of the application of the Court’s 2012 Mayo v. Prometheus decision to these inventions. Attorney Sunstein asserts, among other things, that the Alice Court disregards deeply ingrained principles of patent law in its approach to patent eligibility doctrine by considering patent claims generally, rather than addressing claim limitations rigorously. He further criticizes the Alice decision for misconstruing precedent and working against the goals of the patent system.
