I leave tomorrow for Tulane’s Annual Corporate Law Institute. This conference is viewed by many as the top annual deal conference, so I am expecting great things (this will be my first time attending the conference). Indeed, the speaker line-up is incredible. Chief of OMA at the SEC, Chief Justice of the Del. Supreme Court, Vice Chancellor Strine, Richard Breeden, Justice Jack Jacobs, a medley of deal lawyers from super firms, Patrick McGurn from ISS… the list goes on.

As readers of TOTM know, I am interested in law school rankings. So recently I’ve been reading about the Vault “underrated” law school rankings (see my colleague Ilya Somin’s take here). Of course, I agree that GMU is underrated (and also with the praise the recruiter comments section gives to our evening students). But that is besides the point.

R. Foster Winans knows insider trading.
A former author of the Wall Street Journal‘s Heard on the Street column, Winans was a key figure in an insider trading case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In that case, Carpenter v. United States, the Court affirmed securities fraud and mail/wire fraud convictions against Winans, who tipped investors about the contents of forthcoming Heard on the Street columns.

Brian Leiter has posted, with all the caveats that go along with using SSRN downloads to rank faculties, a new set of rankings using downloads for the past 12 months.
