“... the information entropy of a binary random variable that is 0 or 1 with equal probability...”

A stroll through the brambles of law, management, philosophy, language, technology, cricket and high finance. Like a good alluvial fan, everything is silting up nicely and there are now 4,609 articles in this wiki.

To browse, use the bar on the left. To search, use the box top right.

What’s in here

Anatomies: Clause-by-clause Anatomy and nutshell guides (hit the bar on the left) to ISDA and other master trading agreements. These may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they are flippant — but will still be better value and more entertaining than that awful FT book about derivatives;
Book reviews culled from twenty indolent years sounding off on Amazon;
Much flippancy about plain English, buzzwords, technology, negotiation, flannel, Latin, Greek, metaphor and eggs.
A new section on the odd political situation in New Zealand in 1982. (Why? — long story, really.)

What’s new

We’ve gone CSA bonkers in January!: Brand new anatomies of the 2016 VM CSA and the 2016 NY Law VM CSA - you can’t ask for fairer than that!
Dangerboy, the JC’s inhouse band, has released a record! Here it is. Nosferatu and the undead ISDA: Dan Brown fans, form an orderly queue.
The Jolly Contrarian Blog: A tentative dip into the tepid waters of audience engagement. Newsletters. Surveys. That kind of thing. The seven wastes of negotiation: Imagine your ISDA was a Toyota Corolla, and it all starts making sense.
Confi Anatomy: It may be the most pointless contract you'll ever negotiate, but doesn’t mean it can’t get tasty. Having an NDA smackdown? We've got you covered.
