In Case You Missed It (Law)
Digest for Saturday May 13, 2023

First, from lawteacher.ac.uk: Connecting Legal Education
Law teachers across the UK are connecting through an online hangout called 'Connecting Legal Education'. The informal space enables teachers to share ideas and discuss how they are responding to the Covid-19 crisis. During the first session, Emma Flint presented her module 'Legal Comms', which gives students the opportunity to research and communicate legal information in different formats. The discussion also touched on the use of more authentic assessment methods and the importance of teacherly virtues. Future sessions will feature a Q&A with Lydia on building community and an open discussion on personal tutoring.

Next, from www.thedailybeast.com: George Santos Cuts a Deal With Brazilian Prosecutors in Theft Case, Report Says
Congressman George Santos has cut a deal with Brazilian prosecutors in a 2008 theft case, according to the Washington Post. The deal will see the congressman avoid jail time, instead paying fines of roughly $2,000 and another $2,800 to the victim. The store owner expressed disappointment in the outcome. This comes one day after Santos was indicted in a New York federal court on money laundering, unemployment fraud and campaign finance-related charges.

Finally, from www.lawfareblog.com: The Search for Accountability: A Guide to Lawfare’s Jan. 6 Project
This Friday, the Lawfare organization released a comprehensive guide to their coverage of the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. The guide includes a review of the Second Impeachment of Donald Trump, multiple congressional investigations, and civil lawsuits. The guide provides a narrative podcast series to explore the legal complexities, politics, and story behind the insurrection. The guide will be regularly updated as Lawfare continues to cover the story.

Today's paper of the day is Saints and Sinners: How Does Delaware Corporate Law Work? by Edward B. Rock. This paper provides a detailed examination of the evolution of Delaware corporate law in the regulation of management buyouts. It argues that Delaware cases can best be understood as attempts to create social norms for senior managers, directors, and the lawyers who advise them. The paper also discusses the implications of this reconceptualization for various issues in corporate law, such as the consistency of Delaware corporate law and its value.
