Time for a really new law school

Delaware is thinking about a new law school.  Bainbridge and Pileggi don’t like it.  Says Steve: the last thing Delaware–or the country as a whole–needs is another law school churning out graduates into a still dismal job market. We need to be killing off the bottom dwellers, not starting new ones. I agree, with a ... Time for a really new law school

Lawyers as capitalists

The WSJ reports: Clients are seeking ways to lower their legal costs, and more of them are asking law firms to share the risk of litigation, particularly in intellectual property cases, with contingency payment arrangements in which the clients pay no fees upfront. Under this arrangement, a law firm only gets paid if it wins. ... Lawyers as capitalists

DOJ to Waxman: Violating Net Neutrality Isn’t Anticompetitive

Congressman Waxman shares that the news that the DOJ Antitrust Division told him that cable or phone companies violating net neutrality principles with exclusive or discriminatory deals are not violating the antitrust laws: Waxman said during a net neutrality hearing Wednesday that Justice officials informed his office that existing competition laws cannot be used to ...

Small Business Financing Post-Crisis

Tomorrow I will be attending a symposium on small business financing sponsored by the Entrepreneurial Business Law Journal‘s at the Moritz College of Law at the Ohio State University. I’m on a panel entitled “Recessionary Impacts on Equity Capital,” which is a bit misleading–or at least a bit different that the topic I offered to ... Small Business Financing Post-Crisis

Revisiting the Supreme Court’s “Pro-Business” Bias

Ed Whelan chimes in on the perennial debate with the most recent data: Those sneaky “corporatist” justices are at it again, cleverly disguising their biases by ruling in favor of employees and/or against corporations in two Supreme Court decisions issued today: 1. In Staub v. Proctor Hospital, the Court, reversing the Seventh Circuit, ruled unanimously ... Revisiting the Supreme Court’s “Pro-Business” Bias

Watch me discuss the future of the Internet and its regulation on Ideas in Action

Larry Downes (who, like me, is a senior fellow at TechFreedom and a contributor to the excellent book, The Next Digital Decade: Essays on the Future of the Internet) and I taped an episode of Jim Glassman’s talking head show, Ideas in Action, a couple months ago, and it is airing this week on PBS ...

The Breathtaking Ruthlessness of the Proposed Budget Cuts

The New York Times is appalled at House Republicans’ plans to “eviscerate nondefense spending,” calling the vote in favor of the cuts an act of “breathtaking ruthlessness.” The budget cuts, the Times says, will “carve $61 billion out of the government for just the next seven months, which would throw hundreds of thousands of people ...

The prosecutor finds a consolation prize

Lattman: Mr. Bharara’s focus on insider trading has surprised many people on Wall Street. They had expected his office to instead bring criminal charges against top executives at the large banks that were at the center of the financial crisis. The government’s gotten a lot of heat for not charging these executives, including at the ... The prosecutor finds a consolation prize

Little big law

According to AmLaw, citing unnamed sources, Howrey will vote this Wednesday on whether to dissolve. Given massive departures that the article says “have left Howrey a shadow of its former self” the conclusion would seem to be foregone. So now what?  Consider some of the questions: How much does the firm owe, and what does ... Little big law

My new paper on the future of legal education

As previously reported, I spoke last week at the Iowa Law Review Symposium on The Future of Legal Education.  The CHR discussed some of the festivities. Here’s some tidbits from that article (which didn’t report on my panel or talk): Law schools are not moving with changing times. Richard A. Matasar, dean of New York ...
