Jr.; Maness, Audrey LynnTracks arbitration challenges as they would appear in a lawsuit by dealing first with opinions regarding jurisdiction and arbitrability, and then addressing judicial review of subsequent awards. Because Mattel has been so influential to the issue of judicial review, particularly in a circuit that followed a different rule for a decade, a significant portion of this Article is dedicated to that issue.Item Labor and Employment Law Update(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Schooler, Lionel M.During the reporting period, both the United States Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit issued several significant employment-related decisions.

The cases in this Survey period differ little from the cases in the other periods. What appears most striking is the number of unpublished Fourth Amendment cases, which leads me to conclude that many Fourth Amendment cases are resolved by relying on the Circuit's well-settled decisional authority.Item Foreword(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Owen, PriscillaReviews Fifth Circuit's eventful 2008 calendar year.Item Forensic Analysis of Marijuana and the Kurzman Mystery: A Case Study of Flawed Logic in Determination of Guilt(Texas Tech Law Review, 2008) Whitehurst, FredericHighlights determinations of innocence necessarily guides to this question: If DNA has consistently lead to findings of innocence, then has the rest of forensic science found guilt when in fact innocence exists? We need a model to ask and answer this question. Argues that we need a forensic technique, a protocol, that is easily understood and that has resulted in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
