It's a good read; here's a taste: Jay Brown of the subtly titled race-to-the-bottom blog, which is covering the trial of the century (betcha
didn't know that was the trial of Qwest's Joe Nacchio for insider trading) opines in today's Denver Post (HT WSJ blog ... -- priceless. This sort of reasoning is generally hard to
refute, which of course is its point. SOX fans and critics should go read the rest. (Then contrast Ribstein's take with the WSJ Law Blog's uncritical endorsement of Brown's analysis.)

Today's Times (UK) reports here that new UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has given up his right to appoint key ecclesiastical officials. In a
constitutional Green Paper (found here), the Government has said that the Prime Minister should no longer use the royal prerogative "to exercise choice in recommending appointments of
senior ecclesiastical posts, including diocesan bishops, to the Queen." In the absence of the Archbishop of Cantenbury (who is on a "study leave"), the Archbishop of York ...

The oral argument in Stoneridge is tomorrow and, in advance, we want to engage in some prognostication about the outcome of the case. We confess that our prediction actually came from
the utterances of Steve Bainbridge at UCLA and remarks he gave at aconference at Case Western (co- sponsored by the Federalist Society) on
Stoneridge. He noted that the Supreme Court's opinion in O'Hagan (the last big securities case) was a cut and paste job from the brief filed by the Solicitor General's Office ...

Steve Bainbridge at UCLA has a short paper out, Reflections on Twenty Years of Law Teaching. There are a host of interesting observations,
including his conclusion that "the Socratic Method does not really teach one to think like a lawyer. At best it teaches one to think like a litigator." It's a fair comment and probably
even overstates the benefit to litigators. But having said that, at least some form of back and forth (not necessarily Socratic discussion) keeps students involved in the ...

Apparently the SEC has opened an "inquiry" into the disclosure by Steve Jobs concerning his health issues. Inquiry here likely means an
investigation that has not yet reached the formal order stage. Formal orders must be approved by the full Commission and give the staff, among other things, the power to issue
subpoenas. To the extent that Jobs made an affirmative misstatement about the issues surrounding his health, he can potentially be sanctioned under Rule 10b-5, which prohibits fraud in

Earlier today, I posted the first half of Browne's arguments against dismissal. As noted by Steve W. Berman, plaintiffs' attorney,
"treating the case ... as a speech case would necessarily ignore the coercion aspect of Avvo's business." However, the First Amendment does seems like the centerpiece of Avvo's theory
of the case. In case you're just joining Coderights, here's a quick review of the events to date. Avvo is a new service with offices ...
