IT''S ALL ABOUT YOU
2007 was a busy and productive year at Law Journal Newsletters. Like every other business, we did a little trimming, we did a little fixing, we did a little tweaking to the bottom line. But we also added new, talented attorneys to our various Boards of Editors (joining the incredible talent that already serves on our Boards).

That having been said, we now turn to you.

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?
