...unclear on how to categorize the offense or the relevant statute of limitations. Certainly in Young's statements about Sessions and Pryor, he did not allege a quid pro quo for his money laundering of their campaigns. And whatever the involvement of their campaigns, Sessions and Pryor both assert they were completely unaware of his confessed chicanery. But the U.S. Attorney's office chose to prosecute Siegelman in no small measure on the basis of Young's word and chose not to investigate Sessions and Pryor--or their campaigns--on the basis of that same word...

...ISBNs—as Jonathan L. Zittrain, the director of the Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, has said. ISBNs are facts, and the unique combinations of ISBNs on reading lists are intellectual property—but of professors. While the Faculty can assert intellectual property rights over reading lists, the Coop cannot.
