My favorite thing about a class of all 3Ls is that I get to share their last first day of school with them!

Happy last first day of school to my Deals students!

I threatened to take @jaredellias.bsky.social to Paynes Prairie when he was in FL this week and feed him to the gators. Having survived many gators, he was allowed to present his excellent paper, The Credit Markets Go Dark, which you should read.

Taipei highlight: Got to see my RA, Dah-Wei (David) Yih, present “Building Procedural Guardrails for Econ Security Measures” at Nat’l Taiwan Univ’s ACWH Young Scholar Wkshp.

His paper was described as impactful & beautifully written. Can’t wait to read the final version!

I promised Waldos and I deliver.

So lovely to see Andrew Tuch at my NTU talk, and to hang with Afra Afsharipour & Chien-Chung Lin at the night market.

Taipei is extremely popping this week, and not just with Taiwanese popcorn chicken (but also with that).

Had so much fun talking with Alex Yang of NTU today about Purpose & Nonprofit Enterprise.

It is indeed more fun to give a talk into a giant karaoke microphone. 🎤 🎤

Excited to present Purpose & Nonprofit Enterprise (coauthored with Dorothy Lund) at National Taiwan University today!

Watch this space for 2 (or more) very exciting Waldos who will be popping up in Taipei today.

I’m excited to be spending this week at National Taiwan University College of Law!

I’m teaching Contract Design and fighting off brutal jet lag with a steady drip of bubble teas.

I have just been told that what we’re doing here is “skeeting.”

How is it not **SKYWRITING**?!

Such a delight to visit Georgetown Law today to chat about my new paper, Refracted Intent.

Thanks to Jon Zytnick for inviting me! Read his work here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/...

It was wonderful to present a new project at the ILEP/Penn Journal of Biz Law symposium at Penn Law in honor of the great Jill Fisch.

Thanks to Amelia Miazad for this selfie. Jill said that I “look like [my] beagle” in this pic.

Beagle pic for comparison—no lie detected.

Huge pleasure to spend the day at Pitt Law, where I’ve gotten such helpful comments on my new paper, Refracted Intent (coming to submissions near you in Feb!).

Highlight: Spending time w/ @zhaoyili.bsky.social, a VAP & shiny new biz/tech scholar on the tenure-track teaching mkt this year.

It’s herrre!!

Biz law profs: @PaoloSaguato and I would love to send you a copy of our new BA/Corporations book
