Letter From the Editor
I'm so thrilled to present our Second Annual Best of Visual Identity Innovators. We received quite a few entries and it was difficult to pick the best, but we managed to single out five firms that are true innovators in every sense of the word.
In this month's issue we also have a companion article written by Bob Wilson. I think it certainly fits with the overall theme of this month's newsletter. And, along with our regular Media & Communications column written by members of Jaffe Associates, an extra article by Jay Jaffe on lessons in crisis management that should have been learned from Watergate and other scandals ' but weren't.
Just a reminder that next month, our Law Journal Newsletters Web Audio Conference Division will be departing from its usual format to present a three-part “Talk Radio” series. On the first three Tuesdays in April (April 5, 12 and 19 from 12 noon to 2 pm EST), the subject will be “Women in Law: Let's Not Skirt The Issues.” We have assembled a blue ribbon panel of over seventeen women representing every area of the legal profession. These women will address topics ranging from not having it all to mistakes others have made and from which “we” can benefit to going it alone to power … how to get it, keep it and delegate. A portion of each session will be devoted to answering any question on any subject brought to our attention during the” talk radio” session. This series will provide a great opportunity for all women to tune in. It is especially a great forum for law firms to hold a lunch or breakfast around any or all of this series.

The Article 8 Opt In
The Article 8 opt-in election adds an additional layer of complexity to the already labyrinthine rules governing perfection of security interests under the UCC. A lender that is unaware of the nuances created by the opt in (may find its security interest vulnerable to being primed by another party that has taken steps to perfect in a superior manner under the circumstances.
Strategy vs. Tactics: Two Sides of a Difficult Coin
With each successive large-scale cyber attack, it is slowly becoming clear that ransomware attacks are targeting the critical infrastructure of the most powerful country on the planet. Understanding the strategy, and tactics of our opponents, as well as the strategy and the tactics we implement as a response are vital to victory.
Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
The Anti-Assignment Override Provisions
