[Law360 story Court Chides LA Atty For Dubious Fee Claim In Shooting Case]
Not impressed? Well how's this for a start to another published Wiley opinion today:
A funnel hovered over the American West. Into the large end went investor dollars and investor dreams. Out the little end streamed dollars into Las Vegas, where a Nevada intermediary made loans to Nevada land developers who had high hopes for big projects. The funnel channeled over $40 million in 2006 and 2007. But remember what happened next: the subprime meltdown. The investors ended up getting back just 17 cents on the dollar. They sued the developers. The question is where. Where can this suit proceed?
