LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 9/1/09

When the banking system took a huge hit and the financial markets dove it certainly shocked many of us but there were those who saw it coming. For the sake of my friends who are students, I hope the post Cliff Mintz comments on isn’t written by one of those people who “saw it coming” when looking at the potential burst of the higher education bubble. Another good post: one by Raymond Nimmer asking of Google should be regulated as a utility after their Google Books settlement. Great stuff guys.
