It is off-print day!! Love seeing our work in print. Read @ProfChristyHurt and my article “The Contractarian Joint Venture” now out with the @AlaLawReview and available here: law.ua.edu/wp-content/upload…
Many thanks to the law review editors for their hard work!
@SMULawSchool
Texas and corporate law are having a moment! I've updated my paper, "Texas, Delaware, and the New Controller Primacy," to try to keep up. Spoiler: SB 29 passed, which allowed Tesla to amend its bylaws to prohibit derivative suits w/o 3% of shares ($32B). papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
So cool that SSRN highlighted my new paper, "Texas, Delaware, and the New Controller Primacy"! If you are interested in what is going on with Texas and the Delaware reincorporation question, read on!
In January 2024, Elon Musk initiated the process of moving #Tesla from Delaware to #Texas, citing concerns over Delaware #corporatelaw. The move sparked discussions about the dominance of #Delaware corporate law.

Excited to share my new paper on SSRN: Texas, Delaware, and the New Controller Primacy. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
I feel so honored to have Professor Sue Guan respond to my @JofCorpLaw article, Socially Acceptable Securities Fraud!
This paper is a response to @ProfChristyHurt, Socially Acceptable Securities Fraud which examines whether #securities laws should differentiate between a company's corporate statements & those made on #socialmedia.

This makes me so happy! UGA School of Law could not have chosen anyone better than Usha Rodrigues!! news.uga.edu/rodrigues-named…
Two classes left in Sec Reg and the Supreme Court issues an opinion. The lucky Con Law folks get their syllabi messed up in June.
In "The Contractarian Joint Venture," @Prof_CarlaReyes and I offer DAOs pathway to an entity that doesn't have unlimited liability and doesn't issue securities. Proposals: default partnership statute amendment and new Howey/Reves test for crypto assets. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
I am so excited about the news that @Andrea_Tosato will be joining our stellar corporate/commercial law faculty here at @SMULawSchool! We are so lucky to welcome you!
I am thrilled to share that I will be joining the wonderful faculty at @SMULawSchool in the fall of 2024!

Incredibly important paper from my fantastic @SMULawSchool colleague @carlissc.
Law professors teach classical cases that take place in the shadow of #slavery without any mention of the context. This paper discusses how to teach slavery in #commerciallaw.

Congratulations to my amazing colleague @Prof_CarlaReyes for this well-deserved award!
Grateful to the American #Legal #Technology Awards for this honor. I am stunned to have been named the winner in the #education category. My co-finalists are giants in our field and it was an honor to be named a finalist alongside them. Stunned, humbled, grateful.
I listen to few legal podcasts, but I love @MorePerfect. Season 1 was amazing, and 2 was surprisingly fun and interesting. I often think about things I learned from the show. Can’t wait to see what they do next!
The incredibly talented team @MorePerfect lost our jobs today. I’m feeling so grateful for the time we spent telling vital, heartbreaking, damn good stories about the high court. And now, we plot the next move 👀
My latest article, “Socially Acceptable Securities Fraud.” expresses concern that prosecutors will use tweet fraud as the new wire fraud — second order crime that’s easier to prove than the big fraud. 13 counts in the SBF indictment — 2 relate to tweet fraud, lots to wire fraud.

Socially Acceptable #SecuritiesFraud: This Article asks the question: Do we not distinguish at all between a #tweet & a press release?

Honored, and a bit nervous, to testify before the @HouseCommerce #Innovation #Data & #Commerce Subcommittee tomorrow. I hope to convey the importance of tech neutrality to allow innovation, but emphasize that for #blockchain, tech neutrality requires understanding the tech.
On June 7, 2023 at 10 a.m. EST, @Prof_CarlaReyes will testify in front of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce.
