I’ve written a literary review of a historical novel (Emma Donoghue’s Life Mask) for Sunday’s New York Times Book Review; it has nothing at all to do with problems of the legal system. I’m at work on a second review for the same outlet and hope the relationship will be a long and happy one. (Walter Olson, “Women in Love”, Sept. 26).
Back on topic: yesterday’s publicity roundup omitted a few recent clips. To wit: I’m quoted in an article in Legal Affairs on the controversial new “litigation-finance” industry, which advances money to plaintiffs (often at very high interest rates) in exchange for a share of the booty (Daniel Brook, Legal Affairs, Sept./Oct.)(see Aug. 4, 2003). My Manhattan Institute colleague Robert Goldberg quotes me in a piece on the attacks on FDA general counsel Dan Troy over his initiative to have the agency intervene in state-court liability suits which threaten to contravene FDA policies (“The sacking of Troy”, Washington Times, Jul. 25)(see Jul. 14). And very kind things are said at PokerPulse Forums about me, about this site, and about my book The Rule of Lawyers in the course of a discussion of the lawsuits under California’s s. 17200 against Google, Yahoo, etc. for supposedly promoting online gambling (see Aug. 9).
