It is Larry Ribstein week here at
The Daily Caveat. Scroll down a few posts and you'll see a link to details of
Ideoblog author, Ribstein's upcoming paper questioning the legitimacy of the ongoing prosecution of class action firm, Milberg Weiss on racketeering charges (strange bedfellows, indeed).
Just by accident (thank you
Fintag), today, I
ran across an article well worth reading in which author Heidi Moore namechecks Ribstein, an avowed (like
really avowed) opponent of Sarbanes Oxley. Moore's article is a detailed defense of the controversial SOX act. Moore endeavors to puncture many of the common criticism of SOX. Does she succeed?

Simon Archer's blog at
Simonarcher.ca is well worth bookmarking. He promises (and delivers)
corporate law, theory and policy in critical context.
And couldn't we all with a bit more of that...

Typical great stuff from Law.com, this one
a piece from Susan F. Friedman and the New York Law Journal. Friedman is a senior vice president of the Employed Lawyers Product Practice of Marsh. Not shockingly she recommends good insurance. But good corporate governance, that's important too.
