Brent Newton's newest article.

The always interesting Brent Newton has just posted this article (here) about legal education.  Although I don't agree with everything he's said, he sure has moved the discussion forward (and made it more fun to discuss).  It's a must-read.

In other news, Penn State's law review took my forthcoming piece on legal education, so as soon as it's published, I'll post a link to it.

Funny correspondence.

My buddy Joey Maldonado clued me in to this response to a cease-and-desist letter (here).  Classic.

Lesson?  Sometimes asking nicely is a better idea than sending a "stop it" letter.

IP people: BUY THIS BOOK!

My colleague Marketa Trimble just published her dissertation with Oxford University Press (here).  Not only does this book embody her accomplishment for her SECOND doctoral degree, it puts her at the forefront of transnational IP issues.  (And she's nice!) 

This book belongs in your office if you're an IP person.  Enjoy!

Some good ideas about the mortgage crisis.

Classic--and true.

From today's WSJ:  Jason Gay's 27 Rules of Conquering the Gym (here).
