I'm a securities lawyer in the Washington, D.C. office of Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP. I also have a group/list/blog called FundLaw that provides news reports and moderated discussion of securities law and related developments, especially legal issues relating to investment management. My hobby is philology, and I am a member of the American Dialect Society. Articles I have created or worked substantially on:
Jazz (word)
The Yale Book of Quotations
Historical Dictionary of American Slang
Big Apple

The whole nine yards
