The Top 10 Corporate and Securities Articles of
1998
The Corporate Practice Commentator is pleased to announce the results
of its annual poll on the 10 best corporate and securities articles. (Because
of ties there are 12 on this year’s list.) Teachers in corporate and
securities laws were asked to select the best corporate and best securities
articles from a list of all articles published during 1998. Because
of the vagaries of publication and mailing some articles published in 1998
contain a 1997 date and not all articles containing a 1998 date were published
in time to be included in this list.
