The Top 10 Corporate and Securities Articles of 2007
The Corporate Practice Commentator is pleased to announce the results of its annual poll to select the ten 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 and indexed in legal journals during 2007. Because of the vagaries of publication, indexing, and mailing, some articles published in 2007 have a 2006 date, and not all articles containing a 2007 date were published and indexed in time to be included in this year’s list.The articles, listed in alphabetical order of the initial author, are:
