I am in Detroit today for the third annual Peter J. Henning Memorial Lecture. As many of you know, Peter was a mentor and friend who died way too young. Peter’s teaching and work spanned business and criminal law. He and I, perhaps predicatbly, shared an interest in insider trading law.

A number of folks, including a few of us academics, help to support this lecture series financially and through attendance. If you would like to join in that effort, please contact me or Jennifer Bird-Pollan. The first two speakers were the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff and Mary Jo White. I look forward to Professor Israel’s talk as the third in the series later today!
