Observations from Writing a Book that May Help You Finish Your Next Article
Last week on the blog I featured the smart book Empire of the Fund by sharing excerpts from a conversation with author, Professor William Birdthistle. In discussing the book, he shared with me some insights on writing a book: its process, genesis and use in the classroom. I am fascinated by other's people writing process in the continual effort to improve my own.
writing a book...
[W]riting a book was more of a challenge than I expected, even though I told myself it was simply a collection of law review articles. It turns out that the blinking cursor on an empty screen is more taunting when you're obliged to fill hundreds of pages. Brief stints of productivity need to be repeated again and again and, until it all exists, nothing really exists. I developed a convoluted system of drafting notes, then sitting down with a research assistant to record a chat about those notes, then working that recording into an outline. That process still left me with plenty of writing to do, but I found it much easier to expand, polish, and revise those outlines than to fight the demon blank page.
Talking through your ideas forces you to synthesize the materials. It also retains the humanity behind the arguments. This method makes a lot of sense when you read Professor Birdthistle's book because it feels like he is talking to you— just in a way that is smarter, better organized and more pithy than most of us can muster in the average conversation. His book doesn't read like the belabored, bloated, and laborious sections that all too often find their way in law review articles (my own included).
genesis for the book...
The contents, to a large extent, have actually come from the classroom -- as these materials serve as the syllabus for a seminar I've taught for a few years. The seminar, called Investment Funds, is almost always popular: in a go-go market, all the students want to hear about private equity and hedge funds; then in downturns, I get a sober audience of students who want to know more about their 401(k)s.
application to broader classes...
I often work this material in to my BusOrg and SecReg classes too: so, I emphasize the role of funds on topics like corporate purpose (does charitable giving look different if the corporate funds might otherwise go to 401(k) holders), proxy contests (in which mutual funds are major institutional investors but often conspicuously absent from these fights), shorting (where the securities are often borrowed from mutual funds and ETFs), and behavioral versus neoclassical theory (quoting heavily from a wonderful disagreement between Judges Easterbrook and Posner in Jones v. Harris before it went to the Supreme Court).
Since almost all students will soon be figuring out their own 401(k) and mutual fund investments, I've found that it's easy to make business issues far more salient to their lives. Even to the saints who'll soon have a 403(b).
the role of behavioral work...
Finally, I highlight Professor Birdthistle's observations about changes to the corporate law landscape made space for a book like his to contribute, in a serious way, to the academic and popular debate about the efficacy of the mutual fund market.
I've been struck by the change in our intellectual and academic disposition towards investing problems. I've been in the academy for a decade now and, when I began, the rational investor model was so thoroughgoing that it was difficult to discuss problems of individual investing. Many conversations -- and job talks -- required a first-principles exegesis about how this market might possibly be anything other than highly efficient. But a tide of behavioral work in recent years has helped explain why investors might struggle, and a good deal of empirical work has concretely shown how they struggle. So conversations today focus more upon solutions rather than on whether there is even a problem.
To this last point, I wonder what ideas and principles, which seem untouchable today, will give way to the next generation's breakthrough. I think is a particularly heartening message for young scholars--not all of the work has been done! Keep at it! And it is an important message for folks who aren't writing in the mainstream. For folks who are passionate about their work, but feeling like their ideas aren't garnering the right cache with the right audiences. This is where you persevere so long as the work is thorough and well researched. Maybe you and your work are contributing to an important intellectual advancement. You could be changing the tides in ways that in presently imperceptible, but significant nonetheless. So as the August submission deadline looms and the summer hours threaten to languish, press on!
Because this post is a compilation of quotes, I now turn to Garrison Keeler to close:
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.

8th Annual Berle Symposium - Benefit Corporations and the Firm Commitment Universe - June 27-28, 2016 - Seattle, WA
Three Business Law Prof Blog editors (myself included) are presenting at the upcoming Berle Symposium on June 27-28 in Seattle.
Colin Mayer (Oxford) is the keynote speaker, and I look forward to hearing him present again. I blogged on his book Firm Commitment after I heard him speak at Vanderbilt a few of years ago. The presenters also include former Chancellor Bill Chandler of the Delaware Court of Chancery. Given that Chancellor Chandler's eBay v. Newmark decision is heavily cited in the benefit corporation debates, it will be quite valuable to have him among the contributors. The author of the Model Benefit Corporation Legislation, Bill Clark, will also be presenting; I have been at a number of conferences with Bill Clark and always appreciate his thoughts from the front lines. Finally, the list is packed with professors I know and admire, or have read their work and am looking forward to meeting.
More information about the conference is available here.

Seeking Excellence Is Not Always the Same As Winning
I read an article this morning that resonated with me. It was odd, because it was about a University of Michigan sports coach. As a dedicated Spartan, that's not always easy to reconcile.
Michigan's softball team lost in the College World Series, and there was understandable disappointment. I thought coach Carol Hutchins message, though, was spot on:
"One thing I learned after the national championship, it definitely doesn't define you," she said. "If winning defines you, you're not focused on the right things. I'm defined by all the women that I've been able to help grow up and who have impacted my life equally. I define myself by that.
"We've won a lot of games here, we've lost a lot of games here. It's a sport. We do the best we can every day."
Yes. You can't control who you play. You control how you prepare, and how you try, and how you care. Sometimes, you can control how you play, but not always who you play against or the tools you have at your disposal.
This is true as a lawyer, too. You may have bad facts. Or a bad client. Or a whole host of other hurdles. On a bad day (hopefully) you may go up against someone who is just better than you. You can control how you prepare, how hard you work, and how much you care. The rest, is out of your hands.
You can't let winning define your worth. If you do, there's a good chance you will underestimate your value when you lose. And overestimate it when you win. A little perspective goes a long way, and odds are, with perspective, as long as you sustain your effort, you have a better chance at winning more often.

Student-Focused Phone Scam
One of our readers (thanks, Tom N.) brought this to my attention earlier today. I have passed it on to some folks internally here at UT Law. Scammers who prey on students to extract money from them to pay a "Federal Student Tax" deserve their own special place on the Wall of Shame. 'nough said.

Grade Inflation and Participation Trophies
A few months ago, Inside Higher Ed ran a story that noted "that grades continue to rise and that A is the most common grade earned at all kinds of colleges." (emphasis added). This finding surprised me. I knew grade inflation was becoming more and more common, but I did not expect A to be the most common grade earned, especially in the undergraduate setting.
The article reported that A's accounted for "more than 42 percent of grades" and "A's are now three times more common than they were in 1960." (emphasis added).
This grade inflation trend is a mistake, in my opinion. And it is a trend that is impacting graduate schools as well. At the law school I attended, they moved from a 100-point scale and a 78-point mean when I attended, to letter grades and a much higher mean GPA. I understand why my alma mater made the move; they were very different than other law schools, even at the time, and a student with an 85% average had a tendency to be discounted by employers, even if that person was in the top 10% of her class. Business graduate schools may well have led the grade inflation charge, probably driven, at least in part, by employers who would only reimburse for a B or better in a class. Again, I think grade inflation is a mistake.
Is grade inflation simply an extension of the participation trophy phenomenon? "Entitled" might be the most common adjective I hear used to describe students today. "65% of Americans Say Millennials Are "Entitled," 58% of Millennials Agree." And if these students grew up being rewarded for just showing up, why wouldn't they be entitled? For the most part, I agree with Pittsburg Steeler, James Harrison, who famously returned his children's participation trophies. To be clear, I think there is a place for team (and individual) achievement trophies and for most improved trophies, but trophies for just showing up seems to encourage mediocrity.
I also understand this mother's point of view, who argued in favor of participation trophies, given the situation of her "mildly intellectually disabled" son. She is concerned for "kids who don't have the chance to ever be the star athlete [or student] no matter how hard they work for it" and hopes for recognition "that not everyone is born with the same abilities." When teaching, my heart does go out to the C-student who appears to be doing his best, while a slacker gifted student may be able to get a B with minimal effort. We should encourage the determined C-student, but also teach him that achievement takes time and effort and is more difficult for some. I believe that former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden defined success well when he wrote: "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best you are capable of becoming." I want my children and my students to know that I care about them regardless of their relative achievement. I want them to know that doing their very best is all that can be rightly expected. But I do not want to shelter them from the reality of failure. And I want them to realize that life is not always fair. And I want to help them to find a career well-suited for them, which may be aided by comparison to others over time.
In light of all of this, how should we respond in our grading?
I think there has to be a discussion at the college and university level. Individual teachers are in a tough position. At most schools, a professor who believes that Cs are average, and As are only for true excellence, would be a significant outlier and could wreck individual student GPAs. Personally, I think colleges and universities need to establish a presumptive mean grade (and maybe some distribution requirements as well). The grade mean would have to have some flexibility, especially for smaller classes, where the high achieving students may be concentrated or absent from particular classes. I know there are some who find a required grade mean limiting, and an established mean is not without faults, but I think it is a more fair system and limits the race to grade inflation that is sure to occur if more flexibility is granted.
While effort should be recognized and encouraged, grades and trophies should represent relative achievement. Competition is a reality of business. You don't get clients just by trying hard; you get clients by being the best. Students and athletes need to learn to compete, push through failure, and at some point realize that it may be best to move on to a different area.

Guest Blog Post: Grading Law School Exams (in the UK) and Distributive Justice
It is that time of year again when law profs are up to their ears in grading exams. (Unless one teaches on the continent, where exams are oral.) Given my location in the UK, I thought I would provide a few insights on what we do here. These are my own personal reflections and I may not be able to generalise about what gets done across the board, though in the UK we probably have more uniformity of policies among law schools and universities generally than in the US. What I am about to say is nowhere near complete in coverage. I want to focus here only on some differences which caught my particular attention as an American teaching in the UK.
Preliminarily, we don't use the word "grading." The term is "marking." This is terminological. They mean the same thing. I'll stick to the American terminology here.
We allocate grading and just about every other task to be done in a British law school through something called a "workload allocation." A workload allocation is a bit of distributive justice. It is meant to allocate work in the school fairly among all faculty (we say staff but I'll stick to the US word). So, if you are called upon to chair a busy committee, you get credit for that in the workload. The workload will include time for you to do scholarship if scholarship is part of your job.
Here comes the interesting part for those of you saddled with large classes and large amounts of exam grading: exam grading is also subject to the workload allocation. You may be asked to grade in a course (a 'module') you did not teach.

Another Teaching and Life Lesson on the Run: It's Easier at the Top and We Don't Get There Alone
Some time ago, I wrote the post Better Teaching Idea: Try to Notice When the Wind Is at Your Back. That post emerged from some observations while running, and today's post has the same origin.
This month I have been trying to up my miles again for no particular reason. I don't run for races. I run to run. And to feel like I am at least doing something to stay in some semblance of good shape (it's not really working). I now run 4 miles most days. Maybe a little more or less, but that's the norm this month. The past two days, I ran from my house, which is at the top of a hill. It is more of a mountain when I am running up it. (I promise, I am getting somewhere with this.)
I often go down to the rail trail along the river, which is a mostly flat, pretty place to run. The last two days, I have been running from my house. This means that if I want to get any distance in, I need to go down the mountain. And, of course, it means I need to get back to the top. Now, I could stay at the top. It's relatively flat on our street, and I can run a quarter of a mile down and back and stay at the top of the mountain. That's a lot of down and backs to get in four miles. No thanks. It's easier, but not much fun. (Note: you can follow along my running escapades on Twitter @jfershee and Nike+.)
My usual route from my house takes my down the mountain, then back up the mountain, where I turn around and retrace my steps. That means I am running up the steepest part of the run at mile 3.5. It's not always my favorite part of the run, even if it is my most triumphant. As I was slogging my way back up the mountain, my mind wandered and I caught myself thinking again, "It would have been a lot easier to just stay at the top." And it is. It's true in running, and it's true in most everything else we do.
It doesn't matter how you get to the top. Once you're there, it's easier to stay there than it was to get there. It may take a lot of work to get to the top. For most people, it does. But someone can just take you to the top, too. Once you're there, it's easier to stay there. And once you leave, it's hard to get back up.
Knowing all of this is important. And it is important to remember that not everyone has the same amount to climb to get to the top of whatever it is they are climbing. I did not come from money, but I had everything I needed. I am a straight, white male. The data show that starts you ahead of the game. I went to good public schools. I went to college. And law school. This required a lot of work to move ahead, but the opportunity was there for me in a way it isn't for many.
It's easy to start thinking that everyone is starting from the same point. And it's a lot easier to notice the people who are ahead of you on the way up. It's not that often that we look back, which can skew our perspective in unproductive ways.
As teachers, it's important to recognize that we can be part of helping our students move up their mountain. And they may not be starting from the same place we were. They may have further to go. Some may have less. It's our job to help them get where they want go. As a corollary, it's also important to remember that just because they might have farther to go, it's not our job to limit the mountains they can climb. To the contrary, it's our job to help them see that the sky truly is the limit.
That's my take away for the day: as hard as it is to keep climbing to the top, don't ever think you're doing it alone. Appreciate who helped you. Keep slogging. And when you get to the top, don't forget to see if you can help someone else up.

Commencement Speeches and Ordinary Work
It is commencement season – our commencement at Belmont University is tomorrow. Commencement season means commencement speeches. Commencement speeches often comes with an extra helping of cliché advice. If I had to guess, no piece of cliché advice is more common in commencement speeches than "follow your passion in your career."
For example, in Steve Job's famous Stanford commencement speech he said:
You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
Jim Carey, in an otherwise pretty original and somewhat odd commencement speech, included some of the cliché "follow your passion" advice when he said:
My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant, and when I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
Like almost any cliché, the "follow your passion" instruction contains some wisdom. I do think there are students who take conventional jobs out of fear, and fear shouldn't drive a decision as important as career choice. That said, I also think this cliché advice can do a good bit of harm. I see students overly focused on trying to find work that fits with their current interests --- music, sports, travel, etc. --- or work that they think will "change the world" and make them feel good in the process. As a result, students often ignore work that may seem ordinary, but is just as important, if not as glamorous.
Accounting, mentioned in Jim Carey's speech, is actually one of those areas that students often pass over as "ordinary work" or turn to reluctantly, out of fear. Few people I know have a natural passion for accounting. But I have seen a passion for accounting develop over time. As the philosopher William James said:
Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.
Most work is "ordinary" work. Even the splashy work celebrated in commencement speeches (and indirectly celebrated by the choice of commencement speakers) has ordinary elements, or was, at the very least, preceded by less unique work. I worry that students, attempting to follow the advice of Jobs, Carey, and others, bounce from job to job trying to find work that makes them feel good immediately and all the time. While I don't necessary think "do what you love" is bad advice, I think it needs to be tempered with "find work the world needs and that fits your talents," "do good work wherever you are," and "know that most work is needed and important, even if it does not grab headlines." I wish we took more time at our universities to celebrate the day-in, day-out grind of the faithful, ordinary worker. And I am trying to impart to my students that their future work matters, even if it seems common and doesn't receive much recognition.

Advice for Law Review Editors and Faculty Advisors
Today I hit "submit" on an article I was asked to review for an international law journal. Because the process required blind peer review, I won't be any more specific other than to say that the article related to a topic that I have written and spoken about extensively over the past few years. Unfortunately, the author did not cite any of the main (or even ancillary) articles on the topic and instead focused on a number of disparate theories that barely related to the title or topic of the piece. In short, the article had a few good pages and might make a few decent articles, but only after major revisions. I knew what the article was missing because I have read almost every other piece written on the topic.
As a junior academic, I admit that the most frustrating part of the law review process is the lack of peer review, at least in the United States. My colleagues in the EU review articles of 10-12,000 words on average and generally have 1-2 other reviewers deciding on publication of a scholar's piece. The review period tends to be 6-8 weeks (or so I have been told) and generally journals require exclusive submission. In worst case scenarios, authors can wait several months for an acceptance or rejection. Although I am not a fan of the exclusive submission process, I do prefer the peer review model. It may be subjective, but it's no more subjective than having articles accepted by 2Ls and 3Ls, who may have no expertise or familiarity with the topic they are reviewing.
A 2014 essay by Josephine Potuto raises another issue with the U.S. law review system—how the articles are edited. The abstract states simply:
Law professors publish in law reviews, not peer-reviewed journals. They are edited by law students. The editing process can be both irritating and exasperating. From experiences lived and those shared by colleagues across the country, I provide concrete examples of where law student editors go wrong, and also explain why.
Finally, in an effort to improve the process, I recommend that faculty advisors and editors read some of my co-bloggers' insights on the topic.
Happy grading to all and I wish you a productive summer. I will be writing less frequently in May due to a honeymoon and then a research trip to Cuba, which of course, I will blog about. I'm also writing a law review article on Cuba, so hopefully editors won't hold this column against me!

Congratulatons to the Newly Appointed Dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University!
Although other outlets in the blogosphere (including the blog he founded, The Conglomerate) beat us to the punch by a few weeks (see, e.g., here and here), I want to take time out today to congratulate D. Gordon Smith, currently Glen L Farr Professor of Law at BYU Law, on his appointment as Dean of BYU Law commencing May 1. (That's this coming Sunday!)
I have had the privilege of working with Gordon a number of times over the years (perhaps most notably in the formation and leadership of the AALS Section on Transactional Law and Skills and with The Conglomerate), and he is a consummate professional. He represents his institution impeccably as a scholar and servant of the academy and the profession. He has great judgment and is a kind, considerate soul. I know that he will be a great leader for BYU Law.
My only regret is that Gordon will likely have to step back from the many leading roles he has had in pushing business transactional law scholarship forward. His service as a symposium sponsor, conference panel organizer, moderator, discussant, and presenter are so appreciated by me. [sigh]
Nevertheless, I admit it's great to see another strong business law teacher, scholar, and servant in a law deanship. I am delighted for him. And I wish him all the best.

Reflecting on the MALSB Conference
Last week I attended the Midwest Academy of Legal Studies (MALSB) Conference in Chicago, IL. MALSB is one of the 12 regional associations of legal studies professors in business schools that has an annual conference. The Academy of Legal Studies of Business (ALSB) is the national association and the annual national conference is similar to AALS.
Given that I started my academic career at a law school, and still attend some law school professor conferences, I notice differences between law school and business school legal studies professor conferences. While there are plenty of similarities between the conferences, I note some of the differences below.
Pedagogy Presentations. While law school professor conferences do usually address pedagogy in a few panels, the business school legal studies conferences I have attended seem to have a much stronger emphasis. For example, I think the regional and national ALSB conferences tend to have 30%+ of the presentations dedicated to pedagogy. Many of the business school legal studies conferences have master teacher competitions as well, where finalists present their teaching ideas or cases to the audience and a winner is chosen by vote. I think some of this focus on pedagogy is because a fair number of business school legal studies professors are full-time, non-tenure track instructors without research responsibilities. In any case, I generally find the pedagogy presentations quite useful and think law school professor conferences could increase their focus on the area.
Relative Lack of Subject Area Silos. Maybe the biggest difference I have noticed between law school professor conferences and business school legal studies conferences is the relative lack of subject area silos at the legal studies conferences. At most law school professor conferences I attend, I can and do spend the entire time listening to only business law (narrowly defined) presentations. I leave small and big law school conferences only having heard about business associations, corporate governance, M&A, and securities law. At MALSB I heard those presentations, but also heard talks on employment, constitutional, contract, tax, and white collar criminal law. The conference organizers try to keep the panels in generally the same subject area, but the panels bleed into other areas and there is almost never enough pure business presentations to keep you fully occupied at a legal studies conference. The relative lack of subject area silos is good and bad. It is good because the exposure to other areas can lead to new insights about your own areas, but I still attend some law school professor conferences for more focus and depth.
Associated Journals. Most of the regional and national legal studies associations run blind, peer-reviewed law journals. In my opinion, these journals are excellent for our field and offer a nice alternative to law reviews. I've stuck with the national journals to date because a number of the regional journals do not have WestLaw or Lexis contracts yet. As I have said before, I think there is room for even more traditional peer-reviewed law journals, perhaps run by law schools or by law school associations.
Enjoyed my time at MALSB. The people and the presentations were definitely worth the trip.

Imagine This: First-Semester Second-Year Students in Your Business Associations Class Who Already Have a Sense of Transactional Practice . . .
This is not a pipe dream! I honestly believe that in the fall of 2017, this will be a reality for me. (I typically teach Business Associations in the fall semester to a large number of students who understand "cases," not "deals.")
The reason for my good spirits and honest belief in the positive change in my students? Our new 1L curriculum, which is rolling out this fall. No doubt, we will find some changes that need to be made as we implement our relatively bold plan. But I am truly excited that the new first-year curriculum exposes every student to a transactional experience in the first year of law school.
There are many reasons for implementing this kind of change, of course. Among other things, this new approach to the first year at UT Law responds to suggestions that we got from our students and represents an effort to better connect the 1L year to our upper division curriculum (on which we have spent a lot of time over the years). The new 1L transactional offering is part of a larger plan constructed by a College of Law committee, chaired by my colleague (and e-discovery queen) Paula Schaefer, that spent several years looking at our overall curriculum and that of many other schools before fashioning a number of alternative options for the faculty to review.
The implementation involves a lot of work. Many colleagues are chipping in to construct new courses and re-fashion existing courses to meet the new curricular requirements. It takes a village. I am grateful for all of the work being put in. I work with a great bunch of folks.
An article in the National Jurist last week describes the new 1L curriculum in general. Our academic policies, however, add some detail. I quote from them below, with some reformatting for easier reading in this space.
For students entering in or after Fall 2016, the first-year curriculum is as follows:
First Semester
Civil Procedure I* (3)
Contracts I (3)
Criminal Law (3)
Lawyering & Professionalism (1) Legal Process I (3)
Torts I* (3)
Second Semester
Civil Procedure II (3)
Contracts II (3)
Legal Process II (3)
Property (4)
Torts II (2)
Transactional Lawyering Lab (1)
*First-year students enroll in an experiential section of either Civil Procedure I or Torts I. The experiential sections include three graded, simulation-based assignments. Each simulation places students in the role of lawyer, raises professionalism issues, requires students to perform a lawyering skill, and results in a written and/or oral work product. In addition to a final examination, the course also includes a midterm exam that includes at least one essay question.
We are pretty excited to get this new curricular show on the road. I look forward to sharing more with you as we see how students react in the short term and long term. But my UT Law colleagues and I are very hopeful that this new approach to the first year will lay a strong foundation for upper division academic work and for practice.

Can Consumer or Investor Pressure Make a Difference on Corporate Actions? The Carnival Conundrum
Today in my Business and Human Rights class I thought about Ann's recent post where she noted that socially responsible investor Calpers was rethinking its decision to divest from tobacco stocks. My class has recently been discussing the human rights impacts of mega sporting events and whether companies such as Rio Tinto (the medal makers), Omega (the time keepers), Coca Cola (sponsor), McDonalds (sponsor), FIFA (a nonprofit that runs worldwide soccer) and the International Olympic Committee (another corporation) are in any way complicit with state actions including the displacement of indigenous peoples in Brazil, the use of slavery in Qatar, human trafficking, and environmental degradation. I asked my students the tough question of whether they would stop eating McDonalds food or wearing Nike shoes because they were sponsors of these events. I required them to consider a number of factors to decide whether corporate sponsors should continue their relationships with FIFA and the IOC. I also asked whether the US should refuse to send athletes to compete in countries with significant human rights violations.
Because we are in Miami, we also discussed the topic du jour, Carnival Cruise line's controversial decision to follow Cuban law, which prohibits certain Cuban-born citizens from traveling back to Cuba on sea vessels, while permitting them to return to the island by air. Here in Miami, this is big news with the Mayor calling it a human rights violation by Carnival, a County contractor. A class action lawsuit has been filed seeking injunctive relief. This afternoon, Secretary of State John Kerry weighed in saying Carnival should not discriminate and calling upon Cuba to change its rules.
So back to Ann's post. In an informal poll in which I told all students to assume they would cruise, only one of my Business and Human Rights students said they would definitely boycott Carnival because of its compliance with Cuban law. Many, who are foreign born, saw it as an issue of sovereignty of a foreign government. About 25% of my Civil Procedure students would boycott (note that more of them are of Cuban descent, but many of the non-Cuban students would also boycott). These numbers didn't surprise me because as I have written before, I think that consumers focus on convenience, price, and quality- or in this case, whether they really like the cruise itinerary rather than the ethics of the product or service.
Tomorrow morning (Friday), I will be speaking on a panel with Jennifer Diaz of Diaz Trade Law, two members of the US government, and Cortney Morgan of Husch Blackwell discussing Cuba at the ABA International Law Section Spring Meeting in New York. If you're at the meeting and you read this before 9 am, pass by our session because I will be polling our audience members too. And stay tuned to the Cuba issue. I'm not sure that the Carnival case will disprove my thesis about the ineffectiveness of consumer pressure because if the Secretary of State has weighed in and the Communist Party of Cuba is already meeting next week, it's possible that change could happen that gets Carnival off the hook and the consumer clamor may have just been background noise. In the meantime, Carnival declared a 17% dividend hike earlier today and its stock was only down 11 cents in the midst of this public relations imbroglio. Notably, after hours, the stock was trading up.

Negotiation and Law Jobs
Recently, I have been talking to a few of our law students about jobs, and I have also discussed job negotiations in my MBA negotiations course.
Here are a few thoughts for law students negotiating their first job. First, take the time to sit and think about what you want in a job. I know this seems simple, but far too many students simply follow their classmates in chasing the most prestigious firms without fully understanding why; those firms may or may not be a good fit, depending on your goals. Talk to a number of people who have worked in jobs you are considering, and interview them about positives and negatives. Second, you have to understand your BATNA (your best alternative to a negotiated agreement). If you only have one offer, and thus no good alternatives to that job, you will be in a very weak negotiating position. As such, it is best to uncover a good, or at least decent, second option, even if it is a job outside law, before negotiating . Third, try to find out, from faculty members or recent graduates, what items may be negotiable at the organization. At larger firms and many government agencies, it seems that salary and benefits are almost always unmovable for entry level lawyers. That said, there are still some items - like practice group and start date - which might be negotiable. Start date can actually be really important. An early start date, if it is allowed (some organizations start all their first years at once), can give you a head start and more individualized senior associate/partner attention before the rest of the class arrives. At smaller firms, salary and benefits may be negotiable. Fourth, and perhaps more important, in all your discussions be respectful. You don't want to get a reputation of being entitled before you even start with the firm, and again, you need to be realistic about your other options; this is still a buyers' market. If you fortunate enough to have multiple good offers, you can, respectfully, ask for offer improvement, but if it is your only legitimate offer, asking may not be worth the risk of them pulling the offer. Fifth, once you are in the job, I would focus on making yourself valuable, to the senior associates, partners, and eventually the clients, so that you will be in a powerful negotiating position down the road.
For more general thoughts, watch Deepak Malholtra's (Harvard Business School) talk on negotiating your job offer.

Health and Law School
Law school can and should be an enriching intellectual experience. For many, however, the three years of law school can also be extremely unhealthy.
What responsibility, if any, do we have as legal academics to encourage healthy behavior by our students? How do we do so?
Many law students have horrendous sleep, exercise, and eating habits. Many of these habits carry over into practice, and probably play at least some role in the numerous, documented health and addiction issues facing law students and lawyers. For undergraduate students, many schools mandate physical education and/or nutrition courses. Should these courses be offered to or mandatory for law students?
Are there things that we are doing as legal educators that encourage unhealthy habits? For example, is testing only once a semester part of the problem or is it simply preparing them for stressful, important events like the bar exam or a big trial?
Just opening this topic for discussion; I don't think I have good answers yet. Feel free to respond in the comments or send me thoughts via e-mail. I think I lean toward letting law students make their own decisions in this area, especially because some students are older, second-career types. But, given all the problems law students and lawyers face, I wonder if it would be valuable to require something like a one-credit, ungraded course of health and nutrition, which include some exercise time and general health instruction.

Lisa Fairfax SEC Commissioner Nominee
Being near to celebrity, even academic celebrity, can be exciting. I feel unjustifiable pride and exhilaration in the nomination of George Washington Law School professor Lisa Fairfax to be a SEC commissioner. The White House announced her nomination last October, and the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs held hearings yesterday for Lisa Fairfax (democratic nominee) and Hester Peirce (republican nominee). Professor Fairfax is being heralded as having "written extensively in favor of shareholder rights, shareholder activism, and gender and racial diversity on corporate boards." Her scholarship is available on her SSRN page. Hester Peirce, another academic of sorts, is a senior fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University researching financial markets and an adjunct professor. The Mercatus Center is a "university-based research center... advanc[ing] knowledge about how markets work to improve people's lives by training graduate students, conducting research, and applying economics to offer solutions to society's most pressing problems." Her writing is available here.
The hearing process was reported by the WSJ as "tough" for both nominees. The confirmation process is by no means a given in the current political climate. A video of the hearing is available for viewing. Additionally, each nominee submitted a statement and financial records as a part of the confirmation process. Download FairfaxStatement Download FairfaxFinancialDisclosure Download PeirceStatement Download PeirceFinancialDisclosure
Lisa Fairfax summarized her credentials to be a Commissioner:
As a law professor, over the last fifteen years I have had the privilege of teaching Corporations and Securities Law to the next generation of practitioners, judges, and regulators, so that they can understand the increasingly complex world in which companies must operate, markets must perform, and regulators must monitor. My teaching, along with my research and writing in these areas, have given me a deep understanding of the issues confronting the SEC, as well as a strong desire to help tackle those issues head on.
Fairfax's statement also stated her view of the SEC:
[I] believe deeply in the SEC's three part mission to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. ... I believe that the SEC's three-part mission statement is more than a statement; it is a set of guiding principles that should shape every aspect of the agency's activities. ...I believe the SEC's work must be aimed at ensuring that investors are protected at all times, and that investors have confidence in the markets and the financial system.
The SEC also has a responsibility to facilitate access to needed capital for all participants in the market, from the corporation and small business owner in need of cash and credit, to the individual investing to support a family, finance a child's education, or ensure a comfortable retirement.
Hester Peirce, who previously worked with the SEC's Division of Investment Management, Commissioner Paul Atkins, and the SEC Investor Advisory Committee wrote:
My desire to serve at the SEC is motivated by the conviction that the capital markets help unlock people's potential. Investors build their retirement nest eggs, their down payments, and their children's college funds. Vibrant capital markets find and fund individuals and companies with brilliant ideas that can enhance people's lives and the nation's prosperity.
My belief in the capital markets' ability to enrich our communities is built on lessons I have learned at the Peirce family dinner table, in classrooms at Case Western Reserve and Yale, and from mentors and colleagues throughout my career.
I am academically (and personally) interested in the role of retirement investors in capital markets so I noted with interest that both nominees spoke of the relevance of capital markets and the SEC to individual (retirement) investors.
The Committee is expected to vote on April 7, 2016.

Does the bar exam test students on the skills and subjects they need to be effective lawyers?
Some of our December graduates haven just taken the Florida bar exam. As always, I asked them about the business associations questions. Florida drastically changed its LLC rules in 2014, but still hasn't asked any questions about LLCs, focusing instead on partnerships and corporations (at least according to the students). From a review of the released questions, the bar didn't ask about LLCs before the amendments either.
I teach BA again next year and I'm struggling with what to emphasize. Business Associations is not required in many Florida law schools, but it is at St. Thomas, and many students enter the class with trepidation. Most will only take the one required course and won't go on to advanced classes in securities regulation, corporate taxation, or other drafting courses. I try to focus the required BA class on skills that graduates will need in the workplace in addition to preparing them for the bar by using released test questions. Now I wonder how to balance the tension between the rise of LLCs and the many changes in laws related to securities regulation with the bar's continued focus on partnerships and traditional corporations.
Yesterday the Obama administration added Miami to the list of tech hire jurisdictions. The Kauffman Index ranks Miami as second in the country for startups. Last month, a blogger highlighted my city's proximity to Latin America and our emerging tech scene. With these realities in mind, should I add even more to what I already teach about legal issues that entrepreneurs and startups face even if that's not what the Florida bar tests? I never want to "teach to the test" but I also want to make sure that I am responsible in my pedagogy, which for me includes marking up operating agreements, spending time demystifying IPO filings, and introducing them to hybrid entities that entrepreneurs ask about.
Unlike 20 other states, Florida has not adopted the Uniform Bar Exam, but I believe that any test that asks students to do the kind of critical analysis they would have to do in practice is a good thing. This week the Florida bar established a new committee to consider the issue, but I don't have high hopes for a quick change to the bar exam. Lawyers here recently killed a proposal for reciprocity, and some see the UBE as a back door effort to flood Florida with out of staters.
So I have a conflict. How do other professors tackle the coverage issue? Comment below or feel free to email me at email@example.com.

Five "Best" Songs About Business (Law Edition)
It has been a crazy busy couple of weeks, and one thing I rely on the keep sane (or sane-ish) is music. This morning I was listening to the most recent Public Enemy album, Man Plans God Laughs, which includes a song called "Corplantationopoly." (The album is solid, and while it will never top Nation of Millions or Fear of a Black Planet, Chuck D is still powerful to hear.) This got me to thinking about songs that reference business as part of their lyrics and/or theme.
With the availability of the internet, of course several such lists have already been compiled. Here is a sampling:
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question, do you want to be rich?
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
It was only everything
Before money became king.

When Windows XP is installed, Outlook Express is installed by default, and its installation files are found in the ".\Outlook Express" directory.
If you uninstall Outlook Express via "Add/Remove Programs", all that happens is its menu items are removed. This is because Microsoft has classed Outlook Express as a core Windows component, and should not be removed from the file system.
Because of this, PMS will still detect that Outlook Express is on the system, and will deploy and successfully deploy Outlook Express updates to the machine, as the update rules look for registry and file items.
Now, if the contents of the installation folder were deleted by the desktop build team, PMS will still class Outlook Express as being installed as its IsInstalled rule only looks for registry items, but Outlook Express updates will fail to install as their rules will not find the file items.
Outlook Express updates are continuously installed and scheduled on systems that have had their Outlook Express folder contents deleted.
Outlook Express IsInstalled rule only looks for registry items, causing PMS to think that Outlook Express still exists on the system.
The Outlook Express IsInstalled rule needs modifying so that it also checks for file items.
Applies To
Windows XP
Outlook Express 6.0 – English IsInstalled rule returns true if Outlook is uninstalled.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Nas' financial troubles have apparently taken a turn for the worse.
Last year news broke that God's Son owed $3.3 million to the IRS. Well, it looks like his debt has nearly doubled. Detroit News' Watchdog blog reports that the government has hit the Queens lyricist with a $6.46 million tax lien.
According to lien filed against him last fall, he hasn't made his $420 monthly payments on his Queens condo since January 2010 and now owes $3,860 to the Condo managers.
Nas was reportedly hit with a $2,584,236 lien October 16, 2009, a $3,365,671 February 3, 2010 and $514,298 lien from the New York City Register of Deeds January 10 of this year.
He couldn't be reached for comments.

As I understand it (I'm not a pilot), radio communications are a more-or-less first come first served proposition. If I'm in busy airspace with near constant communication between ATC & aircraft, how do I break in to make contact with the ATC for whatever purpose necessary (establishing comms to enter airspace, or whatever the situation may be)?
As Ron commented, the basic answer is that you try to anticipate when a short gap is going to be, and jump on before someone else does. It sounds a bit daunting, but it actually works out pretty well in practice.
That being said, it's not exactly first come first serve. ATC tends to prioritize talking to the aircraft which need the most immediate instructions. So, an aircraft on final is going to get more priority than one which hasn't even entered the airspace yet. Even if you manage to get your request in, if the controller has a more immediate issue to address, you may get completely ignored. Sometimes they'll come back with "calling approach, say again" or sometimes you just have to try again later.
Either way, it's usually not too difficult to stay out of trouble long enough to get someone's attention. If you're IFR or have already made initial contact, you can probably just continue on your path and you'll eventually become a big enough priority for them that they'll call you if you still haven't a chance to get a word in. If you're VFR and haven't made initial contact, you can probably just avoid the airspace for a few minutes.
Key up the mic and state:
If the frequency is really busy, some people will substitute #3, 4, 5 with "request" (e.g. "Seattle Approach, Skyhawk 1234, VFR request"). Once the controller responds the remaining details can be filled in.
The first thing to get clear is: who are we talking to here? a tower? an ARTCC? what?
In my experience the biggest problem can be trying to reach a busy tower for a small or medium-sized airport. In other situations, usually ATC calls you, not the other way around. For example, if you request vectoring, you only have to do it once; after that they call you.
If you are trying to reach a tower and they are tied up, it can be a real problem because as you get closer to the airport you need an answer. In one or two cases I have actually had to circle to wait for some chat head to shut up so I could talk to the tower and get instructions for an approach.
Commercial flights have this problem less because they are operating on filed flight plans, so the tower is ready and waiting for them.
Another serious problem is when you are in the pattern on downwind and the tower is too busy to give you a landing clearance. In this situation all you can do is to keep flying downwind. Sometimes it gets ridiculous. I have flown literally miles downwind waiting for clearance to turn onto final, which then turns into this loooooong 5 mile final.
If you fly downwind too far, you might even have to leave the pattern completely and start the whole process all over again, although this has never happened to me.

You are very talented and we so appreciate you doing the flowers for us. We had an awesome day and everything worked out so well!
Courtney Honeybunn / Winnipeg
Our wedding flowers were to die for! I went in to meet with them not even knowing for sure what I wanted and it was like she knew what was in my head. When I saw the flowers they were even more gorgeous than I could have imagined. The price is worth it. The flowers for my reception totally set the atmosphere. I can't say enough good things about this place so go and check it out for yourself!
Betty / Winnipeg
I had no idea what I wanted to buy when I entered the beautiful showroom. A friendly, and patient, sales person greeted me and offered me several ideas. I so appreciated her kind assistance and I ended up buying a very beautiful planter filled with gorgeous plants. The sales person didn't think the flowering plant was fresh enough so changed it out for a fresh one. Such wonderful attention. Thank you Academy Florist, I will see you again soon!
Carol / Manitoba
The casket spray you made was just spectacular! Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.

Academy Florist did an incredible job on the arrangements for our wedding. I asked for something loose and wild-flower looking and they did a perfect job capturing that feel while making everything exquisite enough for a wedding. The customer service was also great - we made changes to our order a few times along the way and they responded to our requests and questions with friendly and prompt service. Thanks Tessa, not only did you understand the aesthetic I was going for, you improved on it!
Candace / Winnipeg
I just want to thank you for the amazingly beautiful flower arrangements for my parents' 60th Anniversary - they were beautiful and made the whole room at the conservatory beautiful - many compliments on the flowers.

Work on this scheme is progressing to improve the ASDA roundabout. From Monday 4 July work will start to remove and reinstate the site compound including removal of cabins and access road, landscaping, fencing and seeding. The current restrictions on the roundabout and approach roads remain in place to ensure the safety for the public and the contractor whilst works take place. As areas are completed we will continue to remove the traffic management when it is safe to do so. In the coming weeks we will complete the linemarking, footway surfacing, traffic signals, signage, pedestrian railings and these require lane closures to remain in place. Until the traffic signals are switched on, the roundabout will continue to operate with give way signs on all approaches and some lanes closures. Week commencing 18 July the roundabout will be fully operational.
For further information, please visit the contractor's website.

The improvements will provide:
The main works started in October 2014 and are planned for completion July 2016. The roundabout will stay open during the works.
Following a successful bid to the Government, the Department for Transport awarded £3.7 million to assist in paying for the scheme. The total cost is about £5.9 million.

It surprised me how much I enjoyed this as comedy is very hard to write, but you did continue the spirit of the show. Very good Pam and Mick who are probably my favourite characters in the show. Paragraphs are all quite short but a minor criticism.

If inclined, look at SPH. Yield about 12 percent at current prices. (Suburban Propane.)
This fuel distributing company has been in business for over 50 years with more than 0ne million customers in 41 States. They have paid dividends consistently for 19 years, perhaps more.

Geology Department
Welcome class of 2020! If you have questions before you register for classes this summer, email one of us geology profs and we'll be happy to help. You can take either GEO-111 or GEO-120 to see what Gustavus geology is like, and/or look for a special FTS that Julie Bartley will be teaching.
Geologists study Planet Earth – its composition, landscapes, climate, natural resources, natural hazards, and the evolution and extinction of life. The science of geology is driven by our need to understand our home planet and to use its resources wisely. The Department of Geology helps students understand Earth; we are interested in the processes that act on it today, those that occurred in the past, and events that might happen in the future – both natural and human-influenced.
Geology is particularly relevant in today's world. Geologists evaluate areas for geologic safety, assessing whether earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, volcanoes, or landslides pose a danger to human life and infrastructure. Conserving the environment requires that we understand the processes that shaped that environment long ago, as well as the events that have occurred more recently. The search for natural resources is necessarily a geological search, and geologists play an important role in finding, using, and conserving those resources. Geologists map the landscape, informing our communities about the land beneath our feet. The story of Earth's distant past is a geological one, and geologists examine the record of ancient life and rocks to describe the landscape during the last ice age, or longer-ago, when the ocean covered this part of the world, making Minnesota a tropical paradise.
Geologists, and geology students, spend a lot of time outside, observing the record that Earth has left for us to interpret. They also come indoors to learn the analytical, laboratory, and computer techniques that decode the details of the geological landscape. From the introductory courses through the senior thesis, geology students learn to read the story of the Earth and help the planet tell its tale to the humans that inhabit it.
The Geology Program
The geology program emphasizes field and research experiences at all levels of the major. First-year courses provide an overview of the principles of geology and an outline of the history of the earth, while students gain basic skills in addressing geologic problems. Second-year courses are designed to deepen understanding of earth processes and to sharpen field, laboratory, and research skills. Third-year courses emphasize the development of critical thinking and communication skills within the context of the mechanisms of and evidence for earth processes. In the fourth year, students use their accumulated skills and knowledge to conduct a senior research project, under the direction of a faculty member, culminating in a senior thesis. To graduate with degree in geology, students must also participate in at least one extended field experience, in addition to normal class field trips, as part of a departmentally organized or approved field trip.
