The Top 10 Corporate and Securities Articles of 2002
The Corporate Practice Commentator is pleased to announce the results of its annual poll of the 10 best corporate and securities articles. (Because of ties there are 11 on this year’s list.) Teachers in corporate and securities law were asked to select the best corporate and securities articles from a list of articles published during 2002. Because of the vagaries of publication, indexing and mailing some articles published in 2002 have a 2001 date and not all articles containing a 2002 date were published in time to be included in this year’s list.
