One of my favorites teachers while I was a law student, Prof. Stephen Bainbridge of UCLA,  then a visiting professor of corporate law and corporate finance at HLS, has a weblog.  In class, he actually made corporate law seem lively.  He’s brilliant, calls things likes he seems them (though I’m certain I don’t always agree…

I’m just back from a few days in Denver, Colorado, as one of a three-person Berkman Center contingent helping to celebrate the opening of the new home of the University of Denver‘s College of Law.  The university is a remarkably vital, vibrant place, enjoying what our gracious host, Vice-Chancellor John Coombe, told us is a “renaissance.” They have…
