What Is A Merger Anyway?, Don Leatherman, Joan Macleod Heminway, Thomas E. Plank

Scholarly Works

Three law professors from different practice and academic backgrounds meet at the water cooler in the faculty wing of a law school in or about 2010. They get engaged in a conversation about mergers and acquisitions that covers much ground--from what a merger actually is (from the perspective of their distinctive areas of legal experience and expertise--business associations, federal income tax, and property law) to factors each believe to be important in choosing a transactional structure for a business combination.

The Top 100 Law Reviews: A Reference Guide Based On Historical Usnwr Data, Brad Areheart

Scholarly Works

The best proxy for how other law professors react and respond to publishing in main, or flagship, law reviews is the US News and World Report (USNWR) rankings. This paper utilizes historical USNWR data to rank the top 100 law reviews. The USNWR rankings are important in shaping many – if not most – law professors’ perceptions about the relative strength of a law school (and derivatively, the home law review). This document contains a chart that is sorted by the 10-year rolling average for each school, but it also contains the 5-year and 15-year rolling averages. This paper also …

The novel coronavirus COVID-19 has profoundly disrupted life in the United States. Schools and universities have closed throughout much of the country. Businesses have shuttered, and employees are working from home whenever possible. Cities and states are announcing lockdowns in which citizens may leave their homes only for vital errands or exercise.

Medical experts advise that at least some of these restraints will continue for 18 months or more—until a vaccine is developed, tested, and administered widely. It is possible that localities will be able to lift some of these restrictions (such as lockdowns and school closures) intermittently during those …
