Diamond Shavings: Your (Early for the Three Day Weekend) Web Roundup


For those who missed this, thanks to one of our alert commenters, we can now all follow along with the Whitehall bankruptcy proceedings. Simply go here, and then click “docket” (up top), and the relevant documents are there. The site is a little weird and annoying, but with a little navigating (sometimes it takes you to the client list, where you have to choose “Whitehall”) it gets the job done.
