Day 2 of @penncareylaw.bsky.social symposium on multiracial democracy. I asked the room: “what is the role of a law professor in a burning house?” And I got lots of good answers! Post yours?

Ps Here I am with GW Law colleague Prof Tania Valdez who had brilliant comments. Friends give me strength!

I presented my poll tax research at my former law firm today. All of the work was historical but it raised a very contemporary question: are there taxes today that target harm on vulnerable groups? Tax lawyers are the ones who best know the Internal Revenue Code and it is up to us to answer this Q.

Yes, this wooded lake with a Scottish mountain range behind it is actually a law school campus. Thank you University of Stirling for having me out! Was a blast to present my research on the corporate governance lessons of OpenAI board scandal. Ps I didn’t take a picture of the swans. It was too much

This is illegal, indeed criminal. We might not be able to prosecute Musk, but we can fire him. He’s done.
