Please join Ian Laird and Kabir Duggal for the launch of our book, “Evidence in International Investment Arbitration” in NY on Monday. The book strives to restate the rules of evidence in #ISDS. I will video-beam in from @washburnlaw . @OUPIntLaw https://t.co/6FGKWd8lTs

@AnnMLipton @TulaneLaw It was such a pleasure. I still keep thinking about it. You gave me a new angle through which to approach governance. Really eye opening!

[Freddy Sourgens @FSourgens]

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!

[Freddy Sourgens @FSourgens]

Most of all, thank you to the Washburn community for making me an adoptive Ichabod. More on the next chapter soon. For now - 💙🎩 3/3

[Freddy Sourgens @FSourgens]

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

[Freddy Sourgens @FSourgens]

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. 😆

[Freddy Sourgens @FSourgens]

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.

@MonikaEhrman @SMULawSchool @SMU Can’t wait!

@HusaJaakko And yet to appreciate the Torte fully requires one to place its richly meaningful layerings in the uniquely post-Napoleonic, pre-German unification Viennese patisserie/ Confiserie context. I will show myself out now.

@JTasioulas ‘Good Morning - There and Back Again’ in which it is proved that while ‘good morning’ is a poor illocutionary act, everything else remains an unexpectedly tangled adventure in ordinary language. Also available in Quenya.

Touché

US at 8, Lebanon at 40? Was this produced by the people who rank university departments?

@JoeMastrosimone What torts does Santa commit on his regular Christmas run with the reindeers? Also discuss defenses. 30 mins on the clock aaaaand go!

@juliettemm @cmiles3vb Doesn’t the State of the North Pole have a Duchy of Sealand problem?

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:

[Prof. Mastrosimone @JoeMastrosimone]

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).

[Freddy Sourgens @FSourgens]

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.

[Tim Gill @timgill924]

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.
