Texas and corporate law are having a moment! I've updated my paper, "Texas, Delaware, and the New Controller Primacy," to try to keep up. Spoiler: SB 29 passed, which allowed Tesla to amend its bylaws to prohibit derivative suits w/o 3% of shares ($32B). https://t.co/YZAkCBLhnr

So cool that SSRN highlighted my new paper, "Texas, Delaware, and the New Controller Primacy"! If you are interested in what is going on with Texas and the Delaware reincorporation question, read on!

In January 2024, Elon Musk initiated the process of moving #Tesla from Delaware to #Texas, citing concerns over Delaware #corporatelaw. The move sparked discussions about the dominance of #Delaware corporate law.

I feel so honored to have Professor Sue Guan respond to my @JofCorpLaw article, Socially Acceptable Securities Fraud!

[SSRN @SSRN]

This paper is a response to @ProfChristyHurt, Socially Acceptable Securities Fraud which examines whether #securities laws should differentiate between a company's corporate statements & those made on #socialmedia.

This makes me so happy! UGA School of Law could not have chosen anyone better than Usha Rodrigues!! https://t.co/2S0LndBJG9

@tommy_bennett Welcome! Can’t wait to meet you in person.

[Christine Hurt @ProfChristyHurt]

Two classes left in Sec Reg and the Supreme Court issues an opinion. The lucky Con Law folks get their syllabi messed up in June.

@TheCLBoyd @WashULaw @WUSTLPoliSci @PolsUga @UGA_SPIA Congratulations! I remember thinking you were a rockstar when you went on the market years ago, and I still think it now. I love it when great things happen for great people!

[Christine Hurt @ProfChristyHurt]

@TaxLawProf Three female law professors at my school received them yesterday -- almost word for word the same.

[Christine Hurt @ProfChristyHurt]

@Dr_ZhaoyiLi @WLULawReview Congratulations!

[Christine Hurt @ProfChristyHurt]

In "The Contractarian Joint Venture," @Prof_CarlaReyes and I offer DAOs pathway to an entity that doesn't have unlimited liability and doesn't issue securities. Proposals: default partnership statute amendment and new Howey/Reves test for crypto assets. https://t.co/ajJu5Tx7D2

@ProfJulieHill @uw_law Congratulations! They are lucky to have you.

Incredibly important paper from my fantastic @SMULawSchool colleague @carlissc.

[SSRN @SSRN]

Law professors teach classical cases that take place in the shadow of #slavery without any mention of the context. This paper discusses how to teach slavery in #commerciallaw.

Congratulations to my amazing colleague @Prof_CarlaReyes for this well-deserved award!

[Carla L. Reyes @Prof_CarlaReyes]

Grateful to the American #Legal #Technology Awards for this honor. I am stunned to have been named the winner in the #education category. My co-finalists are giants in our field and it was an honor to be named a finalist alongside them. Stunned, humbled, grateful.

[Christine Hurt @ProfChristyHurt]

I listen to few legal podcasts, but I love @MorePerfect. Season 1 was amazing, and 2 was surprisingly fun and interesting. I often think about things I learned from the show. Can’t wait to see what they do next!

[julia longoria @hooliwho]

The incredibly talented team @MorePerfect lost our jobs today. I’m feeling so grateful for the time we spent telling vital, heartbreaking, damn good stories about the high court. And now, we plot the next move 👀

[Christine Hurt @ProfChristyHurt]

My latest article, “Socially Acceptable Securities Fraud.” expresses concern that prosecutors will use tweet fraud as the new wire fraud — second order crime that’s easier to prove than the big fraud. 13 counts in the SBF indictment — 2 relate to tweet fraud, lots to wire fraud.

[Christine Hurt @ProfChristyHurt]

@Profleoyu @WLU_LawReview @ProfJDWeaver @athenais1674 Congrats! So excited for you!
