Winter 2012 Morrison & Foerster Quarterly News
(Lack of) Editorās Note
The holiday season is ofļ¬cially upon us ā extra shopping week
between Thanksgiving and Christmas and all. But itās been a
bah humbug holiday season for the hard-working editors of
the Financial Services Report because our fearless leader is
in trial. And we donāt mean one of those quick two-day deals;
we mean a real, honest to goodness class action trial.
So, no witty remarks tying together the re-election of
President Obama, the election of Elizabeth Warren to the
Senate, Hurricane Sandy, or any of the other weighty events
of the past quarter. Instead, we have our usual updates on
privacy and arbitration, lots of Beltway and CFPB happenings,
mortgage, operations, and preemption reports as well.
Until next time, we hope you have a wonderful holiday and all
the best in the New Year!
