HistoryNet has an article on the topic of cultural property and who owns it.

I haven’t been posting very often, since we just took finals, are trying to get ready to move, are studying for the bar, had to sublet our apartment, and have to graduate, still. Finals: done! They went well enough – each of us ended up reasonably happy with the quarter, especially since the only thing [...]

My Entrepreneurship seminar instructor asks, “Are entrepreneurs crazy idiots?” His answer is, “Not necessarily, but some of them are.” It’s basically a risk vs. rewards calculus – if you have little to lose and much to gain, you probably should take the plunge, but if that’s not you, you probably should not.

Regents Park residents: Please send the following email message to info@mduc.com: I live in Regents Park in Chicago, a building where you provide cable internet access. Our connection is pathetically slow – worse than dial-up, in fact – and has been since your company began providing service on February 1. Please remedy this situation, immediately. [...]

My friend William has created LAWIKI, a wiki accumulating information on the University of Chicago Law School. Check it out.

I have posted my info from Professor Henderson’s Corporations online – contact me for the address. If you have an Admiralty outline (preferably for Schmidt, though anyone will do), please let me know!
