54 Buff. L. Rev. 321 (2006-2007)
Venue Choice: Where the Action Is

handle is hein.journals/buflr54 and id is 331 raw text is: BUFFALO LAW REVIEW VOLUME 54 JULY 2006 NUMBER 2 Venue Choice: Where the Action Is WILLIAM C. WHITFORDt This symposium presents papers first delivered at a conference held at Wisconsin Law School on September 9, 2005. The conference was generously supported by the George H. Young Chair, held by Dean Kenneth B. Davis, Jr., and the Institute for Legal Studies at Wisconsin Law School. The biggest contributions were the time and exper- tise of the participants, whose revised contributions to the conference follow. The conference was organized at my initiative. Lynn LoPucki's work on the large case Chapter 11 reorganiza- tions began during his time here at Wisconsin. We were col- laborators in the initial work. When my work took me to other issues, LoPucki continued and expanded the work ex- tensively, as is well known by anybody who works in the field. Courting Failure' collects together much of this work and deals with very important issues. It seemed appropri- ate that at this time Wisconsin stimulated the assessment of LoPucki's overall contributions in this part of his work. I was also motivated to convene the conference for an- other reason. Much of the controversy that ensued immedi- ately upon publication of Courting Failure concerned LoPucki's choice of the word corruption to describe the ju- i Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin Law School. 1.
