At Point of Law’s “Featured Discussion”, Moin Yahya and Larry Ribstein are debating whether the government can or should do anything about the practice of lawyers’ (or their clients’ or confederates’) selling short the stocks of companies they plan to sue, then cashing in on the resulting drop in the stock price. See May 5, 2005; PoL Feb. 6.

“Nominate a favorite post” thread
Recently we introduced a sidebar on the front page with a sampling of a few of the site’s “Greatest Hits” — stories and posts that made a big hit with readers, have been much linked to, or are otherwise especially memorable. (More information about the list here). If you’re a longterm reader or even if you’re not, feel free to use the comments section to nominate your own favorites that you think belong on the list. To look up older posts, use the search function for posts since mid-2003 or before that, or try a Google search.
