The Best of MLF 2006
As 2006 comes to a close ' and in keeping with tradition ' we will take a look back at the topics that defined this past year in the areas of marketing, business development, media and, most recently, management issues.
In the past year, I have endeavored to expand the scope of topics covered in the newsletter. To accomplish this, I invited several people to write columns that target major areas of interest in our profession. This year, several new columns appeared, including Practice Building Skills, written by Evan and Chuck Polin, partners in The Training Resource Group. Evan and Chuck have written articles that provide a window into the world of coaching and training attorneys with a view toward enhancing marketing and business development skills. Chuck joined our Board of Editors. In March, we premiered a new column, Technology in Marketing, written by Joshua Fruchter and Nancy Manzo. Joshua, an attorney, is President and Co-founder of eLawMarketing, a provider of online marketing services to law firms and other professional service providers. Nancy Manzo is President of Manzo Marketing, Inc., a law firm consulting group. Both Joshua and Nancy are members of our Board of Editors. In August, in cooperation with the Legal Sales and Service Organization (and with special thanks to our Board member, Silvia Coulter), Sales and Service Strategies joined our list of regular columns and will feature information about sales and service excellence. In November, Corner Office, written by Mel Morrione, who joined our Board of Editors and is Managing Director of MSM Consulting and a former international tax partner with Arthur Andersen, had its first outing. This column will provide insight into the world of managing partners and how their role impacts marketing, business development, communications, growth and professional development. The Media & Communications column, written by Jaffe Associates, did a fabulous job of presenting a great series on media and communications executives in our profession. This series got rave reviews from our readership. I also wanted to mention that beginning in February, The Place To Network column will be written by Christy Burke, founder of Burke & Company.
In addition to those Board members already mentioned, we also welcomed Bill Crooks, Legal Marketing Executive Search Consultant with Priority Search International in Lake Mary, FL.

Major Differences In UK, U.S. Copyright Laws
This article highlights how copyright law in the United Kingdom differs from U.S. copyright law, and points out differences that may be crucial to entertainment and media businesses familiar with U.S law that are interested in operating in the United Kingdom or under UK law. The article also briefly addresses contrasts in UK and U.S. trademark law.
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
UCC Sections 9406(d) and 9408(a) are one of the most powerful, yet least understood, sections of the Uniform Commercial Code. On their face, they appear to override anti-assignment provisions in agreements that would limit the grant of a security interest. But do these sections really work?
