I’m thrilled to get the chance to join such an impressive group of junior scholars! Many thanks to @ASLMENews @SLU_HealthLaw and everyone involved in this amazing workshop!

Surprisingly, given how much attention has been paid to statutory interpretation, contract canons have been largely overlooked.

[Farshad Ghodoosi @fghodoosi]

Our article entitled "Big Data on Contract Interpretation" is up on SSRN. In it, @TalKastner and I use big-data analysis (and of course the much-hyped AI before the recent craze) to study contract canons of interpretation. https://t.co/LbH4IUpW7p

I’m so glad that this innovative project with @fghodoosi has found a great home!

My paper with @TalKastner found a home @UCDavisLRev. Using an originally-trained algorithm, we show trends suggesting corporations' outsized role, rise in textualism, and decline in individual litigants. Paper is filled with new data for corp. and K scholars. SSRN link to come.

As commercial contracts become increasingly complex, are $300 million errors all but inevitable? For some thoughts on this and whether we ought to rethink contract drafting and interpretation, see my recent piece in the @NYLawJournal and my forthcoming article in @BYULRev.

[SMU Law Review Association @SMULawReview]

Continuing our ongoing discussion, in Vol. 71.4 of the SMU Law Review, @TalKastner’s article, Policing Narrative, discusses how the #BlackLivesMatter movement challenges the dominant narrative that “American law and justice operate against a backdrop of presumed innocence.” [1/5]
