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

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.

Make people dependent on you for their happiness and prosperity and you have nothing to fear. Never teach them enough so that they can do without… Read More

This week I’ve studied criminal larceny and embezzlement, third party beneficiaries in contract law, and products liability in tort. Law school has been very rewarding from a knowledge standpoint. I consider myself a life learner and this is a significant challenge I am certain to conquer. First year exams will be in October 2009, which… Read More
Loose Lips, Sink Ships.
A very common mistake made by employers is to allow an employee investigation to become so informal and disorganized that managers and employees learn about the nature of an investigation. The individual(s) who learn of such facts directly or through the rumor mill often relay embellished or false facts about the employee under investigation. With… Read More
