Professor Abraham DashThe Baltimore Sun – Nine months after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to revive the state's case against Leeander Jerome Blake, he was indicted by a federal grand jury in Baltimore on charges of first- and second-degree murder, carjacking, and two firearms offenses. He faces life in prison without parole if convicted of the most serious charges in the slaying of Straughan Lee Griffin. Abraham Dash, JD, a professor at the School of Law, said federal prosecutors would have no reason not to try to use Blake's statement to police, if they believe it will bolster their case. "The statement that was excluded in the state case may be able to be included in the federal case," he said.

Professor Michael GreenbergerThe Wall Street Journal – Unusual trading in a relatively new corner of the bond market illustrates how the rise of increasingly sophisticated financial instruments is potentially outpacing the ability of regulators to police them. One reason "people are worried about hedge funds is not only are hedge funds lightly regulated, but they deal to a large measure in unregulated transactions," said Michael Greenberger, JD, professor at the School of Law and former director of markets and trading at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
