While the compensability of time spent in internship programs continues to be an hotly contested litigation issue, the United States Supreme Court has declined an opportunity to provide clarity in this area, denying certiorari to a Florida medical billing intern whose claim was rejected last year by the Eleventh Circuit. Kaplan v. Code Blue Billing & Coding, Inc., 2013 U.S. LEXIS 8046 (U.S. 2013).
Perhaps multiple requests for high court review of an appellate decision will be necessary before the Supreme Court addresses the status of interns under the FLSA, as was required before the Court accepted review of the exempt status of pharmaceutical sales representatives.

A group of in-house attorneys developed the National Law Review on-line edition to create an easy to use resource to capture legal trends and news as they first start to emerge. We were looking for a better way to organize, vet and easily retrieve all the updates that were being sent to us on a daily basis.In the process, we’ve become one of the highest volume business law websites in the U.S.
Today, the National Law Review’s seasoned editors screen and classify breaking news and analysis authored by recognized legal professionals and our own journalists. There is no log in to access the database and new articles are added hourly.
The National Law Review revolutionized legal publication in 1888 and this cutting-edge tradition continues today.
