I don't think Bundy exactly said “Arbitration is a bit of Jewish law. Of course they know how to judge diamonds.”
The first sentence makes no sense on any level. That indicates your notes are suspect because Bundy wouldn't have said something so nonsensical as "Arbitration is a bit of Jewish law." He was making a larger point about how different normative communities can apply their unique laws to resolve their disputes in the context of arbitration.
The second sentence is probably your own narrative spin in your notes, not Bundy's words.
He didn't say "Of course [Jews] know how to judge diamonds." Your narrative spin in your notes would be a bit disturbing, if people didn't know you better. I am not Jewish, but I am wary of potentially offensive statements concerning any group. If Bundy had said exactly what you wrote without much more context, the roof would likley have fallen at Boalt. Or at least it should have.
Bundy said, in some instances of business disputes in the New York Jewish community of diamond sellers, "Arbitrators apply a mix of Jewish law, ordinary wisdom," and relevant legal doctrine, "allowing you to create your own normative community" of laws, referencing the work of Lisa Bernstein cited in the handout.
Check before you post, or take better notes.
At the risk of incurring your wrath Armen, are you sure you didn’t want the OP to put something where the sun doesn’t shine vs. taking it out? Taking it out is just gross and a real punishment to the rest of us.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who copies down quotes that sound funny out of context.
I have a bunch of good ones from Estates and Trusts. That Zamperini is funny.
If Anonymous 4/30/2006 1:42 PM could publish Zamperini's quotes somewhere, I'd be infinitely appreciative; that guy cracks me up.
