Best in Law Blogs : The LexBlog Network : October 3, 2011

While the big news of the day is, of course, Amanda Knox’s acquittal, I haven’t seen any commentary come across the Network on that subject quite yet. We’ll be on the lookout tomorrow. In the meantime, Rich Goldfarb examines a tragic accident involving a CO2 leak at a McDonald’s, Trey Mills offers up his take on a major controversy involving State Farm and more discussion keeps coming in on “Facebook firings.” Total posts on the LexBlog Network today: 142.
