Had the chance to listen to a truly excellent presentation today by @AnnMLipton at a @TulaneLaw brown bag workshop. @AnnMLipton - you are even more lights out and amazing in person than in your writing. Thank you for an inspiring workshop!

A big thank you to all my students, current and former, for the joy of accompanying them on their journey from students to lawyers and to my colleagues for helping me find my way from lawyer to law teacher. x/2

After 11 academic years, 12 different courses from Contracts to Property, Commercial Law to Evidence, Energy Law to International Petroleum Transactions, a dozen books and edited volumes, and 60 articles and shorter pieces, I taught my last class at Washburn today. x/1

If you followed me again and hope others to make the same mistake, then, you should consider retweeting this call to madness and mayhem. 😆
So, it seems that I lost 11.3K followers. That can't be bad. Fresh start etc.

Happy to share ‘The Dark Sun Network’ published by the @COLawReview I argue that the the U.S. should lead in assembling a bottom-up global governance network for #GeoEngineering. Thanks so much to the dedicated editors for their hard work. lawreview.colorado.edu/wp-co…

For an insightful analysis of the crucial role of higher ed & research in an innovation-led creative destruction paradigm, I highly recommend this recent book: hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?…
To save it, we have to destroy it! I interviewed for a job at Koch Industries once. Almost everyone mentioned the philosophy of "creative destruction" (put to the side that this was a Marxist thought for how capitalism would end).

I *would* like to know who ‘fixed’ some pipes in the Baltic recently, though. Those people should feel welcome to come forward and tell us about their day.
Academics come out here on Twitter saying "I got some writing done today." Imagine if a pipefitter came on here saying "Hi Everybody. I fixed some pipes this afternoon." Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? If it's in the job description, then we should expect it. Spare us.

Delighted to share my article 'Diligent Zero', now in print with the SMU Law Review. I argue that net zero 2050 pledges are developmentally problematic and propose an alternative, diligence-based rubric to guide global energy transition efforts scholar.smu.edu/smulr/vol75/…

I am honored delighted to take on this amazing role @SWIICL_CAIL. It was a pleasure to see the last Academy class in action and co-chair the 2022 SWIICL symposium.
The SWIICL is pleased to announce that Dr. Frédéric Sourgens has been appointed as its new Chair. Freddy is the Senator Robert J. Dole Distinguished Professor of Law at Washburn University School of Law. He holds a PhD, JD, and Master of Arts.

Tell me you don’t have an energy policy without telling me you don’t have an energy policy.
