The 24th Annual F.G. Pileggi Distinguished Lecture in Law, sponsored by The Delaware Journal of Corporate Law, the lead law review of Delaware's Widener University School of Law, was presented today by Professor Eric Talley, a visiting professor this year at Harvard Law School.  Here  is more background. The prior 23 Annual Distinguished Pileggi Lecturers have been listed here. My posts about last year's Distinguished Pileggi Lecturer (and reference to the two prior years) is available here. Some background on how the Annual Lecture began is described here.
