Most of the presidential candidates have pretty good press operations, but Mitt Romney's got Kevin Madden.Madden had not joined the campaign

According to today's American Banker (paid subscription required), Barney Frank addressed the National Association of Federal Credit Unions and gave them the good news and the bad news.
The good news was that he supported reform legislation being pushed by credit unions (the Credit Union Regulatory Improvements Act) that would raise the cap on business lending to 20%
of a credit union's assets, from 12.25%, and would let any credit union, regardless of charter type, add underserved areas to its ...

The World Economic Forum recently published its 2009 Global Competitiveness Report, and I was struck by one particular statistic, as well as the conclusion drawn from it by the US
Chamber of Commerce. One of the many statistical tables in the WEF report ranks the perceived strength of national protection for intellectual property. The United States ranks 19th on
this chart, out of 133 countries rated. As this blog post from IP Watch reports, that ranking prompted The US Chamber of Commerce to ...

by Kevin Jon Heller I blogged last week about new JD/JD and JD/LLM programs that Melbourne has established with NYU Law School. I now want to
mention another exciting new joint degree program, this time with ... students, given that Oxford generally accepts only those applicants who have already earned a JD. Again, I have to
plug the students at Melbourne. I find them a joy to teach - and others obviously agree. We had tea this morning with the Dean of Oxford's
Faculty of Law, and he told us that ...

... in terms of the risk of damages from a class action lawsuit based upon the causes of action of negligence and identity theft. Actual harm must be shown. On the other hand, as
applied to financial institutions, I wouldn't do handsprings of joy for a couple of reasons. First, as Chris Hoofnagle, former head of the West
Coast office of privacy advocacy group EPIC and currently a senior fellow to the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology at the University of California-Berkeley Boalt Hall School ...

The WSJ's Law Blog reported recently on the joy being experienced by lawyers in the firms representing plaintiffs in the Exxon Valdez case,
their spirits dampened only mildly by the Ninth Circuit's recent reduction in the punitive award from $4.5 billion to $2.5 billion. Those firms include traditional plaintiffs' firms
such as Milberg Weiss, but also firms normally seen representing defendants, such as Davis Wright Tremaine and Faegre & Benson. How do Faegre & Benson lawyers feel about ...

... . That's how I learned Internet marketing 11 years ago, by attending Web advertising/marketing conference led by professionals from the marketing and tech sector. Copying what other
lawyers are doing is a dead end. Begin to market like the rest of the business world and you'll run laps around your competitors. No great joy
in sitting on a plane for 6 hours, but I may try and get back to New York City for the program. Let me know if you want to get together the end of next month in New York.

... engineering laws born of good intentions, it has also been used and abused in ways that make a cynical bank lawyer even more cynical, if that's possible. On the other hand Martha,
being the long-time consumer advocate that she is, is likely swooning with joy at the prospect of Rep. Johnson's bill not only casting a wider
net to reel in more fish, but, as Martha puts it, "repealing a lot of the Bush-era regulations that weakened Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) enforcement for lenders with less ...

... for "pit bull" brings up countless articles, blogs, videos, and posts of reports of pitbulls mauling children, pitbulls jumping fences, pitbulls with muzzles, and pitbulls locking
jaws. Enthusiasts from the other side recall pitbulls joyfully licking feet, pitbulls snuggling with infants, and pitbulls seeking belly rubs. The diversity of experiences and
interactions with this breed demonstrates the wide variety of animal personalities, while suggesting that the aggressive reputation of pitbulls ...

... to your house when your letterbox snapped back on to her right index finger. As a result of this, our client suffered from personal injury and loss." The treacherous letterbox
appears to have been what Americans would call a "mail slot" with a swinging door. Joy Goodman claims that the tip of her right index finger
was actually severed by the letterbox door, and that consequently she can no longer work as a cake decorator. "I just cannot believe," O'Brien said, that "someone who came on to my ...

... be lawsuits," he says. "People are going to be suing each other, so you've got to have front-line litigators. They need the subject expertise behind them." The article doesn't note
it, but I'm convinced that he punctuated his remarks about these joyful prospects with just the littlest line of drool running down his chin. When so many carcasses are being
broiled over an open flame, the smell can drive you wild. You know you're in nirvana when it smells like subprime spirit. And when it comes to ...

... when neither counsel accepted the invitation. Speaking to Yang, he said "It seems to me there are good reasons for searching that car. It's - it's movable. That's the old vehicle
exception. It can have contraband in it. It can be stolen. It can be taken for joy rides. But you don't seem to make any of those arguments.
You just want to keep coming back to officer safety and on that point I think your case is very weak." Justice Scalia similarly asked both sides whether there was any historical - ...

... Maddow (MSNBC) Greta Van Susteren again CBS Evening News DL Hughley (CNN) DL Hughley is a comedian that CNN has recently recruited to do some news commentary, so it seems
appropriate that Blagojevich ended with that. The other comic moment took place on "The View," when Joy Behar announced that she had heard
Blago does a great impersonation of Richard Nixon, and demanded that he do it on the show. He refused, but did say he was not a crook. Reportedly, the gallery of the Illinois Senate was

... blog on the topic at www.againstmonopoly.org. Finally, I want to note a pithy comment made at the end of this blog post written by Peter Jackson, the chief scientist and vp at
Thompson Reuters publishing. In some ways the post is a little mundane, mostly focused on the joys of e-books. But the last line caught my eye and suggested a context for these
other items I have discussed. "In the future," Jackson writes, "the book is no longer a product; it's a service." I am not sure that Jackson would ...

... "Fertile Myrtle." (On the website, it's described as "Fertile Myrtle (formerly Octomom).)" The game, which is described as "hilarious" and "amusing" but sounds mostly horrible,
involves pressing on Fertile Myrtle's belly to shoot "another adorable bundle of joy" into the arms of "Wacky Grandma." Each baby earns welfare
money, and timing the births so that they occur when paparazzi are in the room earns a cash bonus. The game appears to be intended for the iPhone but, according to CNN, Apple " ...

... . It's a wonderful book, which, like Hitchhikers, was also a radio show. Douglas also wrote much more, including several episodes of the classic show Doctor Who, two books in a
series about the holistic detective Dirk Gently, the quasi-dictionary The Meaning of Liff, the computer game Bureaucracy, and Starship Titanic. So, carry your towel on May 25th as any
savvy hitchhiker would (or, in correct lingo, as a hoopy frood would), and honor a man who brought much laughter and joy into the world.

Brown, of Highland Beach, Florida, Matthew J. Collins, of Boynton Beach, Florida, Kevin J. Walsh of Viera, Florida, and Mark W. Wells of Boca
Raton, Florida. It is alleged that G&C would arrange the seminars and would invite prospective customers by invitation to free-meal seminars. These seminars were held in Delray ...

... stiff competition in the "I-billed-more-hours-than-you-did-this-month" race from two groups that are often their bête noire: bankruptcy lawyers and white collar defense counsel. In
times as bad as these, those two groups are always as busy as one-armed paper-hangers. Throw in divorce lawyers and you've suddenly assembled The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Bad
times for banks and most businesses. Good times for many lawyers. Brings a little tear of joy to the corner of your eye, doesn't it?

... two posts. As a result, today part 1 is going up; on Monday, I'll launch part 2. 1. Rob La Gatta: Kevin has called you the "grandfather of
lawyer blogs," due to the amount of time you've been operating in the blogosphere. What first got ... is [to] try to find your voice. And don't be afraid to make "mistakes," because
part of the joy of blogging - and I find it to be something that's joyful - is getting feedback from people, feeling like you've
actually connected with people. This is not unique to ...
