Litigation Associates Jonathan Mincer and Thomas Cramer co-wrote an article published on the California State Bar's website, “FTC Tests Limits of State Action Doctrine in First Suit Against a State Board Since N.C. Dental.” The article discusses an administrative complaint filed on May 30, 2017 by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) against the Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board.
