Who thought it would be a good decision for a research paper website to discontinue their research paper series?

Thrilled to see my forthcoming Brooklyn Law Review article, “Postcolonial Private Law,” featured in the @lpeblog.bsky.social spring scouting report! 🎉 The piece argues for a paradigm shift in how we tackle transnational corporate exploitation. 🧵 1/2

Today, a spring scouting report on some of the hottest new LPE and LPE-adjacent articles. Congrats to all the authors on such wonderful placements 🎉

Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new addresses.

Excited to share my job talk paper "Postcolonial Private Law" now on SSRN where I bring international law into conversation with private law theory in arguing for empowering Global South people as rightsholders in transnational supply chains. Thanks for the shout-out @lsolum.bsky.social!

Ever wondered how TWAIL and private law theory can benefit each other? I am excited to share my job market paper, “Postcolonial Private Law,” forthcoming in Brooklyn Law Review (Vol. 91) and now available on SSRN. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Bose on Human Rights Due Diligence and Marginalization, buff.ly/qQT6a9j - Debadatta Bose (University of California, Berkeley - School of Law) has posted Are there Humans in Human Rights Due Diligence? on SSRN.

1/2 Are there humans in human rights due diligence? Read my latest draft paper on SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... I argue there that HRDD laws entrench the marginalization of people whose human rights they ostensibly protect by focusing on stakeholder engagement clauses.

1/2 🚨 Big news from Geneva: The ILO just voted to create a Convention on gig workers! This could mark the beginning of the end for “creative contracting” and misclassification—issues I highlighted in my Verfassungsblog piece.

1/3 🚨 Gig giants use “independent contractor” labels to strip wages, sick pay, and social security—while admitting in filings that reclassification would gut their profits. In the Verfassungsblog, I break down this practice. Time for labor anti-avoidance rules? verfassungsblog.de/internationa...

1) My PhD gives a private law theory justification for supply chain responsibility for human rights 2) What if there were only human duties enumerated instead of human rights?
