I intended to begin with a brief introduction, but I beat myself to the gun. 

I'm happy to be blogging on the Business Law Prof Blog once again. I enjoyed it the first time but got too busy to continue and, quite frankly, ran out of interesting things to say. (People who know me well may doubt that.) I'll try to keep the posts interesting. If I can't, I'll quit. You all have enough drivel to read without me adding to the load.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a professor at the University of Nebraska College of Law. I teach Business Associations;  Mergers and Acquisitions; Accounting for Lawyers; Securities Regulation; and Mutual Funds, Investment Advisers, and Brokers. My primary area of research is Securities Act exemptions, particularly small business exemptions. If you read the prior blog, you know I have a strong interest in crowdfunding, and I'm sure I will be blogging more about that as time passes.

I hope you all enjoy the blog. If you have any suggestions for improvement, don't hesitate to contact one of us.
