In 1986, when I set out to develop a Law and Economics-oriented law school at George Mason University, I knew that I had a “secret weapon”, the list of about 450 law professors who had by then attended the Law and Economics Center’s Economics Institutes for Law Professors. I did not have a large budget, ... Remembering Larry: My Friend, Mentee and a Great Intellect
Remembering Larry Ribstein
Like everyone else, I am shaken by Larry’s untimely passing. He was a fine scholar and a truly nice person. His *generosity* is what I remember most about him, especially as relates to younger scholars. As Geoff has mentioned, an obvious example of Larry’s generosity to the young was his willingness to put his ... Remembering Larry Ribstein
Larry Ribstein, In Memoriam
I knew Larry from attending many conferences together for many years and from reading and profiting from his work. I always enjoyed seeing him and considered him a friend. This news is devastating.

We will miss you Larry
The world will be a different place without Larry Ribstein. I and many others know how generous he was with his time in mentoring students and junior scholars, a generosity that is precious for someone as prolific as Larry.

Larry Ribstein, RIP
Our great friend and colleague Larry Ribstein passed away this morning. Larry will be greatly missed.

I called upon Larry for career ... Larry Ribstein, RIP

For me, as for many others, Larry was an important influence, not only intellectually but personally, as well. Larry was the godfather ... Larry Ribstein, RIP

Professor Bainbridge is urging his readers to pressure Eric Cantor into dropping his opposition to pending legislation that would ban Congressional insider trading. But before you Twitter Cantor, please read Todd Henderson and my Politico column, in which we make the following point, among others: A prohibition on trading would be impossible to enforce because ...

Notes from the tea party caucus of corporate academia
Roberta Romano has just posted her paper, Regulating in the Dark. Here’s the abstract: Foundational financial legislation is typically adopted in the midst or aftermath of financial crises, when an informed understanding of the causes of the crisis is not yet available. Moreover, financial institutions operate in a dynamic environment of considerable uncertainty, such that ... Notes from the tea party caucus of corporate academia
An academic’s day in court
About a month ago I discussed a case in which I had written an amicus brief: Last year I wrote here about Roni LLC v Arfa, which I cited as an example of the ”troubling lawlessness of NY LLC law.” In brief, the court sustained a non-disclosure claim based on “plaintiffs’ allegations that the promoter ...

The NYT on why law school is expensive
It’s Sunday so the NYT has another David Segal screed on legal education. This time he presents the insight that law school is expensive because of accreditation standards that prevent law schools from containing costs even if they wanted to.
