Mr. Ribstein is the thinking person's blogger on the subject of law and society. I encourage you to check out his comments on the Lerach sentencing.

A few weeks back we made reference to an upcoming paper on the Milberg kickback prosecution co-authored by Ideoblog's Karry Ribstein. The Wall Street Journal has a story on the still-to-be published law review article. Details (where else?) at Ideoblog.

Now there's a topic you don't see in the papers everyday... Noose tightening seems to be the general approach. However, some folks are stepping up to at least entertain the notion that perhaps these trumped up, politically motivated charges against the firm deserve further interogration.

Ideoblog's Larry Ribstein is just such a fellow. Check out the WSJ's Law Blog for details on an upcoming paper from Ribstein and George Mason professor Bruce Kobayashi that looks to interrogate the government's case against Milberg. And if you're not reading Larry's blog on a regular basis, well, you should be.

Typically great commentary from Larry Ribstein as he considers the guv'ment's case against Milberg Weiss one year after the indictment. The post is chock-a-block with additional links for further reading - give it a look at Ideoblog.

Backdating: Is almost entirely a non-issue.

Steve Jobs: Is only guilty if backdating is an actual issue.

Ego: Leave Steve alone you business media ninnies!

Larry Ribstein of Ideobog lays it out it a little bit more eloquently here and here.

If you are not already stopping by Ideoblog on a regular basis, you should consider adding it to your weekly web trawlings. University of Illinois College of Law professor, Larry Ribstein bangs the drum over there regarding all manner of good stuff. I don't always agree with his conclusions, but I sure do like reading his stuff. You'll find a link to the Ideoblog homepage under the Legal tab in the links section, stage right. Or you could just click on through to read Mr. Ribstein's most recent comments on the whole stock option backdating shebang.
