A very nice write-up of one of my BFFs from law schoolβ€”even though it somehow fails to mention the impact of such defining law school moments like weekly Battlestar viewing and also the the Battlestar board game.

We were all extremely cool.

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!

But what of supervising law review notes and answering emails? Surely those, too, contributed to the revolution.

I’ve finally made itβ€”a Bluesky account is impersonating me!

@cathyhwang1.bsky.social is not me or β€œmy backup account.” Please report it. Merci beaucoup!

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.

Grateful for the opportunity to present my paper at NTU's Young Scholar Workshop on International Economic Law. Huge thanks to my mentor, Professor Cathy Hwang, for the generous support and encouragementβ€”it means the world! Excited to keep working on this project and push it further.

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. 🎀 🎀

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

I’d offer a joke about shareholder litigation but it’s derivative
