Congratulations to Ralph Carter on Winning the Harold Birns Prize

A much deserved congratulations to Ralph Carter, Executive Notes and Comments Editor, who was awarded the prestigious Harold Birns Prize for best note at graduation for his note entitled, “Too Much Information!: The Need for Stronger Privacy Protection for the Online Activities of Employees and Applicants”.

Ralph’s note was chosen  from the numerous submissions from all four academic journals (JCRED, Law Review, American Bankruptcy Institute, and the Journal of International and Comparative Law). This is the first time in the last five years that a JCRED member has won the award.

This is not the first honor that Ralph’s note has acquired. Last year, Ralph won the 2013 Best JCRED Student Note. Then, at the JCRED Spring Symposium, Ralph was awarded the inaugural Edwards Wildman Palmer award presented to the St. John’s Law student who submits the best essay discussing an issue of civil rights in the workplace.

The note will be published by JCRED in the coming months (28.1 J. Civ. Rts. & Econ. Dev.).

Once again, from the entire staff at JCRED, congratulations Ralph!
