Very honored to be recognized as Researcher of the Year @setonhalllaw.bsky.social @setonhall.bsky.social. 2025–2026 has been an important year, both personally and professionally, and I’m incredibly grateful.

So flattered that my piece "Queers Closets and Corporate Governance found its way to this insightful Jot by Brett McDonnell. Have a look. I'm practically blushing! corp.jotwell.com/corporate-go...

In a new @latimes.com Op-Ed, I discuss how Kansas’s recent law invalidating 1,700 transgender individuals’ driver’s licenses raises significant questions about proportionality and administrative purpose. It criminalizes trans folks for no benefit to anyone. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Legal Academic friends: join me in London in early September for "Queering Private Law." Come to cheer my keynote! Proposals due in a few weeks! www.kcl.ac.uk/research/que....

Interesting comments in today’s @financialtimes.com by friends @benjaminedwards.bsky.social & @annmlipton.bsky.social on current tussles in corporate governance. Thanks @sindap.bsky.social for this great summary of today’s heated competition.

Thank you, belatedly, @andrewkjennings.com for your great interview. Your questions prompted me to think more about this challenging topic. Friends, have a listen and share your comments.

The bizarre recent tale in the @nytimes.com "She was ready to have her 15th child. Then came the felony charges" raised so many questions for me. @dorfmandoron.bsky.social 's prior article is a great follow-up read. What a case study!

Thrilled to be giving a talk on The Limits of the ADA’s Duty to Accommodate @oneillinstitute.bsky.social (@georgetownlaw.bsky.social) & the Georgetown Program in Disability Studies tomorrow (Sep. 25) at 5 pm. If you’re around, please join us. Details below 👇

My wonderful colleague Tim Glynn and I were thrilled to present the Miller Award for a senior work law scholar to Catherine Fisk (@ucberkeleylaw.bsky.social) & the Zimmer Award for a junior work law scholar to @nelsonryanh.bsky.social (South Texas Law) at the 2025 COSELL at Seton Hall Law🏅🏆

This remains one of the most moving markers of a tragedy. I am grateful for the reminder.

This morning I rushed into the subway & saw this abomination. I wrote my city councilperson @ebottcher.bsky.social. Within 10 seconds, he said he'd handle it. I came home and every trace was gone. That’s leadership. Thank you Erik!

Looking forward to reading this chapter !

Trump attacks on the disabled mirror those on diversity, also without any justification. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/t...

A horrible anti-science decision that will only complicate all our lives and torment those who need treatment.

In this moment of so much hate and violence, counting loss and how we count matters enormously. Thank you to Rabbi Sarah Reines for this poignant and powerful sermon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3qC...

Fellow Penn Alumni: join me at this great Penn Spectrum event at the NYC Penn Club www.alumni.upenn.edu/s/1587/gid2/...

A war against foreign students is an act of national suicide. The US has been blessed to draw smart hard-working people from around the world, and chasing them away will impoverish us all. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Thankful for great writers like @paisleycurrah.com, whose essay in the @newyorker.com is a must read. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

I could not be more thrilled that my dear colleague Aaron Mills is getting so much attention for his path-breaking new piece in the American Journal of Comparative Law. Have a read! lnkd.in/ehpeW2d2

Thanks for Kim Mutcherson for saying what needs to be said. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/o...

Doing comparative work? Submit your abstract to the American Society of Comparative Law, which McGill will host this fall. October is glorious in Montreal. Deadline is tonight! ascl.org/event/2025-a...

Remote testing makes sense, so good luck. But I do wonder how amazing the world would be if EVERYBODY had the privilege of second chances, not just the wealthy & educated (&white). www.nytimes.com/2025/05/10/b...

Congrats to co-authors/friends @ynili.bsky.social , Afra Afsharipour, Jeremy McClane & friends Kobi Kastiel, Robert Anderson, Jessica Polackwich Erickson & Gina-Gail Fletcher, w/top 10 pieces this year. Their smart, often critical engagements with corporate law deserve this attention.

Trump is about to become the Grinch Who Stole Christmas through prohibitive import taxes. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/o...

SCOTUS to hear oral arguments in the Braidwood v. Becerra case on Monday. Want to know more about Section 1557, the preventive health mandate of the ACA, and how stereotypes re prevention creeped into earlier decisions? Read my article Penalizing Prevention: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Very excited about this new paper by @lawandlitprof.bsky.social! Join the session on Thursday 4/24 🔥🔥🔥

Thrilled to be part of the fascinating set of conversations at GW Law thanks to @profosimmons.bsky.social who organized an incredible group of corporate scholars and lawyers. www.law.gwu.edu/gw-law-sprin...

Great piece by @benpedwards.bsky.social on the trouble in Delaware in today’s @financialtimes.com

I have an X on my passport. The State Department is denying accurate passports to all trans, nonbinary & intersex people. Reg comments due tmw! Consider submitting something respectful & short. Here's me. Sometimes it's confusing who is what gender. X is efficient. X marks the spot.

Parker Posey is everything on this season of White Lotus.

How many will die from these budget cuts? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/c...

Perhaps the USA for DC should learn English before censoring law schools.

This explains so much of today's politics of anger and retribution.

Follow the money. It's all about graft. "All of this is occurring under America's nose. Trump has subverted the role of the public servant. The US state now serves him." Well put, @edwardluce.bsky.social

Insightful op-ed: “When you put a man above the law, as the court did in last year’s presidential immunity case, he’s going to act like he’s above the law.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/o...

Upon cursory or careful inspection, this person is a woman Anyone - including the Dept. of State - who says otherwise seeks to sow confusion and discrimination. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Each day it seems like we're living closer to the world of the Handmaid's Tale

Another group of people targeted by Trump.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Math is hard

Trump is tearing down the US economy as we know it. In the late 1970s, the US rushed to adopt a slew of good governance regs. A standout was the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Over nearly 50 yrs, it's transformed global business. Yesterday Trump dumped it. 1/5 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

Regardless of one’s politics, one thing is undeniable: Trump’s chaos discourages investment at every level, from staffers in the federal government unsure whether they have a job, to investment bankers.
