Professor Michael Lewyn joins us on this week’s Touro Law Review podcast to discuss his forthcoming article, Zoning and The Bar Exam.  Over the course of the discussion with Associate Dean Rodger Citron, Professor Lewyn talks about proposed changes to the bar exam and comments on the Real Property topics tested on the exam.  As indicated by the title of his article, Professor Lewyn believes that zoning should be one of those topics.  Among other things, Professor Lewyn notes that zoning disputes often result in litigation – something that can’t be said of all the Real Property topics tested on the bar exam.
