DATABASE: Stanford Law School COVID-19 Memo Database
Looking for a cheap and ready resource for all things coronavirus? We’ve got just the thing for you – and it’s cheaper than cheap. It’s free! Cornerstone Research, working in collaboration with the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford Law School, has assembled a searchable database of memoranda related to legal, regulatory, accounting and governance issues from the nation’s leading law firms, audit firms, and other business advisors. “We are drowning in COVID-19 information,” says Joseph Grundfest, W. A. Franke Professor of Law and Business, senior faculty of the Rock Center, and chair of the audit committee at KKR & Co., Inc. “I see literally dozens of terrific memoranda every day from high-quality law firms, but have no way of quickly finding the most recent information specific to a problem I am researching. This database is a practical solution to a real-world problem that can also serve as a great resource for scholars and educators.” Check out the Stanford Law School COVID-19 Memo Database at covidmemo.law.stanford.edu.
PODCAST: Legal Talk Network
Legal Talk Network is a podcast network for legal professionals with hosts from well known legal organizations and brands – more than 20 podcasts covering all aspects of the industry. To give just one example, LTN’s “On the Road,” recorded on the conference floor at major legal events, delivers highlights and interviews so you can attend events without attending. While event season has stalled due to COVID-19, you can check out their archive at legaltalknetwork.com and listen to an interview from the ABA Tech Show in Chicago featuring keynote speaker Mary Shen O’Carroll, director of legal ops at Google and president of CLOC, who discussed the transition from the “age of law firms” to the “age of ecosystem.” Among other interesting LTN podcasts is In-House Legal, which covers issues pertinent to GCs and corporate law departments.
