With the Obama administration claiming that Fox News is a partisan organization, not a news organization, Penn Law Professor Christopher Yoo says there&rsquo;s no evidence that Fox News is breaking Federal Election Commission law, which governs political speech on cable.&nbsp; &ldquo;Media members are allowed to be politically active&rdquo; as long as all campaign contributions are property disclosed, Yoo says.

Rock said.&nbsp; The federal government has acquired controlling stakes in a number of Delaware-incorporated financial service companies.The result could be a suit filed in Delaware's Chancery Court that forces the judges to address issues that could threaten Delaware's corporate law, which is a &quot;national and international treasure,&quot; said Rock.]]>

			<![CDATA[
Pennsylvania's trademark counterfeiting law that was overturned by the state's Supreme Court is &quot;a very poorly drafted statute,&quot; said Polk Wagner, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School who specializes in intellectual-property issues. &quot;One suspects that the legislature will move very swiftly to fix it.&quot;

			<![CDATA[&quot;In the absence of obvious, hissable villains and a simple story line, the conventional wisdom [about the current financial crisis] seems to focus more on the crisis itself than on its causes, with the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy now viewed as its pivotal moment,&quot; writes Penn&nbsp;Law Professor David Skeel. &quot;The Lehman story line is worrisome for at least two reasons: it threatens to distract attention from the causes of the crisis and the story line itself is deeply mistaken.&quot;]]>

			<![CDATA[Blackmail is a &ldquo;wonderfully curious offense,&rdquo; to use the phrase of Paul H. Robinson, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and his coauthors in a recent paper. A threat to tell the truth is no crime, and neither is asking someone for money. But if you demand money to prevent the truth from being told, Professor Robinson said, you&rsquo;ve crossed the line. At its core, he explained, the offense is &ldquo;a form of wrongful coercion.&rdquo;]]>

			<![CDATA[The judge reivewing Bank of America decision to buy Merrill Lynch &quot;sort of sees himself as a voice for public rage, as an outlet for it,&quot; says David Skeel, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School . &quot;I think he's responding to the general sense of outrage at what happened in that merger.... He sees these cases as teaching moments.&quot;]]>

			<![CDATA[Companies often claim that their legal advice should be kept private.  But that privilege applies only to the company that hired the lawyers, not its executives, said Jill E. Fisch, a corporate law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. That means that Kenneth Lewis would not be able to block lawyers from revealing information if the Bank of America decided to let them open up.]]>

			<![CDATA[The U.S. Supreme Court's Iqbal decision made it easier than ever for defendants to shut down lawsuits before they get to the costly discovery stage. Civil rights and consumer groups and trial lawyers are beginning to push back, but altering the federal rules is a lengthy process, noted University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Stephen Burbank, a strong critic of Iqbal. He also cautioned, &quot;The process is under the control of the Supreme Court, which is responsible for these atrocities.&quot; &nbsp;]]>

			<![CDATA[Congress is seeking details about Bank of America's legal conversations at the end of last year about its coming merger with Merrill Lynch. &quot;What makes it complicated is it&rsquo;s not just two parties, it&rsquo;s not just three parties, it&rsquo;s six or seven parties,&rdquo; said David Skeel, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s like a multiplayer chess game where each party is making different moves from a different strategic position and each party has a huge amount at stake.&rdquo;]]>
