Talk of the LexBlogosphere: August 24, 2007

Though it seems like a lot of LexBlog clients are using this week and the next as well-deserved vacation time, that hasn’t stopped many from blogging. Plus, I’ve been seeing more and more folks from the LexBlogosphere submitting their entries for inclusion in these updates. If you haven’t done so yet, it’s easy…just shoot me an e-mail with the name of your blog and the post you think is valuable. I’ll take it from there.

Legal blog updates for August 24 include:

• Idaho attorney Thomas G. Walker of Cosho Humphrey LLP updates readers on a smuggling case involving more than 200,000 cartons of cigarettes in his RICO Law Blog.
• For Texas football fans, attorney Alan E. Sherman of the Texas State & Local Tax Law Blog has got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that residents of the Lone Star State will get a sales tax break on tickets to the upcoming Super Bowl game scheduled for their (currently under construction) Dallas Cowboys’ stadium. The bad news? The game isn’t happening until 2011.
• In an end-of-week business wrap up, Rush Nigut links to his favorite posts by business experts from around the blogosphere in his blog Rush on Business. (Note that fellow LexBlog client Michael Moore makes Rush’s list).
• The blogging attorneys from Sheppard Mullin’s Labor & Employment practice update the firm’s Labor & Employment Law Blog with commentary on a recent bonus compensation ruling by the California Supreme Court.
• There are more than 2500 marketing professionals employed by the AmLaw 100 firms, according to an article cited by Larry Bodine in his LawMarketing Blog.
