Well given it is the 4th of July weekend AND my birthday, not much academic activity or interest is present. It has been a good week academically speaking since I’ve had an epiphany and now am grasping the concept of contractual vesting. I’m going to keep it short since I want to get back to… Read More

Louise surprised me with a fantastic birthday extended weekend in Watercolor Florida. We stayed at the Water Color Inn. Friday and Saturday brought fly fishing on local inter-coastal estuaries where Lazarus and I caught many spotted sea trout. Saturday we had a picnic, live southern rock, and fireworks on the beach which was really cool.… Read More

For some reason, it has been a tough academic road, with setbacks this week. My testing is off, my attention span is off, and my normal vigor is off. I will, however, bludgeon my way to victory!

Laws of Power – 14
Pose as a friend, work as a spy: knowing about your rival is critical. Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead. Better still: Play the spy yourself. In polite social encounters, learn to probe. Ask indirect questions to get people to reveal their weaknesses and intentions. There is no… Read More

Assignment and Delegation
The more I have, the more I need. The history of the law of assignments is an interesting illustration of the struggle between commercial needs and the tendency of legal conceptualism.

Laws of Power – 13
When asking for help, appeal to people’s self-interest, never to their mercy or gratitude: if you need to turn to an ally for help, do not bother to remind him of your past assistance and good deeds. He will find a way to ignore you. Instead, uncover something in your request, or in your alliance… Read More

Laws of Power – 12
Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim: one sincere and honest move will cover over dozens of dishonest ones. Open hearted gestures of honesty and generosity bring down the guard of even the most suspicious people. Once your selective honesty opens a whole in their armor, you can deceive and manipulate them at… Read More

I’ve gotten my second wind this week which has been very welcome. I spend a couple of weeks feeling slightly overwhelmed, but now I’ve regrouped and am looking forward to final exams in August and first year law exams in October.

Corporate Records: Voice-mail
As electronic discovery matures to meet the ever-changing technology landscape, it is incumbent upon the information security practitioner, forensic investigator, General Counsel, or others responsible for the discovery, acquisition, processing, preservation, and presentation of electronic records to keep swimming or risk drowning. There should be no illusion that voicemail would be considered an electronic record… Read More

Social Networks and Social Engineering
I’ve commented occasionally about social networking site and appropriate content posted therein. I’ll share an article I read on a favorite news site. It is an amazing abuse of authority in my opinion. It also demonstrates the hazards of what could happen when low-tech mentality bludgeons high-tech.
