Why is there a Due Diligence Blog?
The Wall Street Journal had an amusing piece over the weekend, which was summarized here. The author, a law professor and blogger, discussed law blogs and summarily dismissed them with an to allusion to Faulkner:
"Without a clear narrative thread," writes Stracher, "a blog is simply sound and fury, signifying nothing but misplaced ambition."
(Faulkner's The Sound and Fury is anything but a clear narrative, but I will wager the Professor Stracher would trade all of his blogs for one of Faulkner's stream of conscious novels.)
So why is there a Due Diligence Blog?

Individuals as a group lose millions of dollars every year to miscreants, rascals, and fraud artists who know how to play the human heart against the mind. We need counters to these tricks in order to defeat fraud. That is what this legal blog is intended to provide, and with some luck it won't be just "misplaced ambition".
