The firm, which has more than 60 lawyers and specializes in personal-injury cases, claims that the restrictions ... Jacoby & Meyers’ lawsuit challenges the legal establishment

Crime in Berkeley

“Sure, but they don’t have to carry exactly the same products. It’s not that there was no competition before — we carried some of the same items — but we had matching pricing.”  That’s Shirley Ng, owner of the Country Cheese Coffee Market at 1578 Hopkins Street in Berkeley, CA.  (HT: Marginal Revolution)  The story is about how ...

The WSJ redefines illegal insider trading

Today’s WSJ, in an obvious effort to grab readers seeking more insider trading titillation in the wake of the Galleon verdict, has a story about a new supposed scandal — investment banks offering hedge fund traders special access to dealmakers at exclusive lunches in order to get more trading business from the funds. The article ... The WSJ redefines illegal insider trading

Rajaratnam’s crime

Rajaratnam stands convicted.  What, exactly, did he do wrong? Holman Jenkins, writing in today’s WSJ, appropriately mocks the notion driving the Rajaratnam prosecution that insider trading “law’s purpose is to protect the public from informed stock prices.” As Jenkins notes: There is no level playing field. Nor does there need to be one for the ... Rajaratnam’s crime

The trouble with law reviews

I’m finally catching up with this NLJ article about Hofstra law prof Richard Neumann’s estimate that the cost of a law review article written by a tenured professor at a top law school is around $100,000 ($25-$42,000 for assistant professors at lower-paying law schools).  The estimate includes the professor’s salary, benefits and research grants and ...

Senate Judiciary Hearing on AT&T / T-Mobile Merger

The hearing is Wednesday morning.  The Witness List suggests that the hearing will primarily serve as an opportunity for the merging parties, rivals, other interested parties, and lets not forget the Senators, to restate their positions “for the record.”  And while I get where the Committee is going with the “Humpty Dumpty” title, “the T-1000 ...

Schumer and the decline of New York

Six years ago Henry Butler and I wrote about what we called the Sarbanes-Oxley Debacle.
