Also, Law Review has announced next year's symposium:

The Wisconsin Law Review is proud to announce the topic for next year’s Symposium, “The Evolving Role of In-House and General Counsels.” The event will be hosted by Wisconsin Law School’s own Professors Jonathan C. Lipson, Darian Ibrahim, and John Ohnesorge. This event will focus on recent changes in the world of business law and their effect on the work done by in-house attorneys, and, conversely, how the changing role of in-house attorneys affects the broader market for legal services. These questions have a profound impact on topics such as regulation of the financial industry, the recent credit crisis, and even specific industries such as tech start-ups and non-profits. More details and event dates will be available soon.
