Talk of the LexBlogosphere: September 3 & 4, 2007

Loyal readers will notice that yesterday was our first day since mid July without a Talk of the LexBlogosphere update, largely because I assumed that most of our clients would give up blogging to celebrate the holiday. In fact, the opposite was true: clients were writing, and even submitting content, throughout the day. To keep their work from being in vain, today’s update includes Talk of the LexBlogosphere for both today and yesterday.

Yesterday’s discussions and submissions included:

• Steve Jakubowski at the Bankruptcy Litigation Blog provided an epic piece on good faith bankruptcy claims.
• In the Delaware Corporate & Commercial Litigation Blog, Fox Rothschild attorney Francis Pileggi gave news on a judge’s recent denial of a motion to intervene – one that includes a Hollywood spin rarely seen in legal blogs.
• Chapter 15 international bankruptcy protection isn’t automatic for hedge funds, said Bob Eisenbach of Cooley Godward Kronish LLP in his In The (Red) Business Bankruptcy Blog.
• Though absent from the blogosphere since late July, attorney Dwayne Newton returned to his Houston Litigation Blog to comment on a Texas Supreme Court decision he considers a “victory for the construction industry.”
• Glen Neeley at the Utah DUI Trial Lawyer Blog reported on the “DUI blitz” operated by the Utah Highway Patrol over Labor Day weekend.

Meanwhile, the news today:

•  There are rumors of a coming change in the English capital gains tax system, says Cathy Corns in Mercer & Hole’s SME Plus Blog.
• According to attorney Angel Reyes in the Angel Reyes Blog, fentanyl drug patches are killing the patients they’re meant to help.
• The long weekend left attorney Stephen D. Rosenberg with an extensive list of blog post ideas, the first of which – covering increased liability risks for fiduciaries – in his Boston ERISA & Insurance Litigation Blog.
• Magistrate judge John M. Facciola recently offered his opinion on the case Peskoff v. Faber, and the bloggers from RenewData have the details in their blog eDiscovery Source.
• In their RFID Law Blog, the attorneys from McKenna Long & Aldridge provide their weekly wrap-up of recent RFID news from around the world.

Don’t forget, if you are a LexBlog client who wants to be featured in Talk of the LexBlogosphere, e-mail me a post you are proud of on the day it is published and I’ll try to work it into my update.
