Good morning #SEALS2025!

Nice place to present my research on #arbitration agreements in #bankruptcy and other #insolvency cases and to learn about several other areas of law from friends ranging from University of Kansas School of Law colleagues to international visitors

As a daily subway rider, it’s horrifying to see just how indifferent so many people are to forcing their music and videos and calls on other people.

It’s such an obvious thing that the breakdown of that norm really is reflective of the selfish coarsening of our me-focused society.

This view that US has awful elites was I think not widely held on 9/11 but then rapidly gained adherents with the failures of the war in Iraq and then the financial crisis and Great Recession.

Yes, it is typical, but can be a fun distraction for an hour or so that both serves the field and prompts thoughts for one’s own writing

RIP Ozzy, who died today

Black Sabbath was not my thing, but this sort of befuddled calling for Sharon was kind of endearing

Good to distinguish "Kansas specific" (which does seem rare) from "state law" more generally, which includes most of Contracts, Tort, and Crim, as well as UCC, Biz Org

I doubt it fits in the basic one semester Const. Law course, but State Const. Law is a great elective for schools to offer and students to take

10-time All-Star Steve Garvey asked "As a professor at #KULaw, do you do anything with #arbitration?", so we discussed his Supreme Court case, MLB Players Assn. v. Garvey, 532 U.S. 504 (2001).

This is a great story and reminds me of my similar interaction with Ric Ocasek (singer of early 80s band the Cars) and supermodel wife Paulina in the Caribbean and then, just Ric, in a super nerdy Manhattan toy store

Decades of protectionist trade polices are the reason that Coca-Cola does not use real sugar in its US product. Sugar costs twice as much in the USA as in free-trade countries. sweetenerusers.org/wp-content/u...

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase β€˜There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is β€˜The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
