I’m pleased to announce that I’ve begun a new periodic gig as a columnist on American law for the online Times (the London-based one). My first effort examines the possibility, discussed in this space recently, that fans of Barbra Streisand might file a class-action lawsuit against the singing legend because she is again doing a concert tour years after a tour that was supposed to be her farewell. (Walter Olson, “The long, long, long goodbye”, The Times Online, Jun. 27).

Incidentally, British readers visiting this site for the first time will find an archive of UK-related material here.
