Larry Ribstein and Jonathan Wilson have an interesting exchange going regarding the merits of lawyer licensing. Larry actually has several posts on the subject (see, e.g., here, here, and a paper here). WSJ Law Blog has picked up the exchange, and offers a poll which asks the question: “Is Lawyer Licensing Necessary?” (Perhaps unsurprisingly for ... Thoughts on the Economics of Lawyer Licensing

Tim Harford’s article in the Financial Times (HT: Tyler Cowen at Marginal Revolution) contains the following quote from Darse Billings on the likelihood of a poker “robot” ever beating world class poker players: “I believe that bots will eventually play better than all human beings.” Poker superstar (and UCLA PhD) Chris Ferguson apparently agrees: “If ...

The Froth Is Back
Today’s WSJ reports that professional stock analysts employed by brokerage firms are up to their old sunny ways. These “sell-side� analysts came under fire in 2002 for rendering falsely optimistic trading recommendations. Congressional hearings revealed that during the late 1990s, analysts’ “buy� recommendations outnumbered “sell� recommendations by nearly 100 to one. Well, according to today’s ... The Froth Is Back
Commisioner Atkins on Mutual Fund Governance Rules and SOX 404
Now available on the SEC’s website is a transcript of a April 27, 2006 speech by SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins given to the Investment Adviser Association. There’s nothing particularly surprising in the speech given Atkins’ well-publicized opposition to many of former Chairman Donaldson’s initiatives, but it is still a good read. In particular, he focuses ... Commisioner Atkins on Mutual Fund Governance Rules and SOX 404
Want to Boost Domestic Oil Production? Give ANWR to the Greens.
There have been some pretty stupid ideas floating around about how to deal with this purported gasoline crisis we’re experiencing. (See, e.g., here.)

Bankruptcy Trumps Probate–Anna Nicole Wins!
A few weeks ago, I predicted here that Anna Nicole Smith would win her case in the Supreme Court. That prediction has now come true. Justice Ginsberg’s opinion for a unanimous court holds that state probate law cannot divest federal bankruptcy courts of jurisdiction over the claims of a bankruptcy estate against a probate estate ...
