Earlier today my friend Steph Tai at Wisconsin got me thinking about academic debates. She was writing about the live debates that are a staple of FedSoc and ACS events, but the thoughts may also apply to written debates. While the debate format has some virtues, the key shortcoming of debates is that people are cast in roles that require disagreement and that lead -- often ... perhaps inevitably, if we really want to win -- to distortion and misunderstanding. Debates are sometimes fun and often interesting, but if the goal is to advance understanding, they are too often unproductive or even counterproductive.
All of this reminded me of the "principle of charity." Although this has religious overtones, I am talking about the idea from philosophy, defined on the linked page as "a methodological presumption ... whereby we seek to understand [a point of] view in its strongest, most persuasive form before subjecting the view to evaluation." This is a useful principle, even for debaters, though my experience has been that it is often ignored.
Maybe the format of our events can make a difference here. Next week I am participating in the annual Law and Entrepreneurship Retreat, hosted this year by Usha at the University of Georgia. One of the features of this event that I really appreciate is the format because we present each other's work. For example, I have a work in progress this year, but it is being presented by Bobby Bartlett at Berkeley. I will get a little time to talk after he presents, but authors mostly just listen and respond to questions during the Q&A. It's not an attempt to reach consensus but an attempt to understand. I am quite certain that everyone at the Retreat will learn more about my topic in this way than they would from a debate.

Redyip has returned, and by virtue of my new role as Associate Dean for Faculty Development, I'm more interested than usual in the annual springtime flood of submissions to the newly minted law review editorial boards (although I do have an article out this cycle. And it's totally awesome).
The problem is one of volume: ExpressO and Scholastica have lowered the cost of submission to each additional journal to mere dollars, giving an author the incentive to submit to dozens and dozens of journals. The fall cycle is diminished, and so more and more submissions funnel into the weeks of February and March. For years this system limped along mostly on expedites, where authors submitted to large numbers of journals. Once an author received an offer from a journal, she would expedite up, and law reviews in the tier above the offering school would use those expedites as a screening mechanism. But anecdotal reports suggest that the sheer volume of articles may be overwhelming students, and expedited articles are going unread.
The typical law prof response is to tut-tut, and murmur approvingly about peer reviewed journals. But a peer review journal means exclusive submissions, the torture of revise and resubmit, and a whole lot of work from the peers (i.e., us). I think most professors, when alone with their thoughts in the dark of night, would admit that they like the ability to submit simultaneously, and the closure of knowing where their piece will land come April. So what to do?
ExpressO's now offers two limited forms of relief to student editors: First, it allows law reviews to set a maximum number of simultaneous requests for expedite. Second, it allows law reviews to select "peers" from which to receive expedites.
Here's a bolder solution: what if authors could credibly commit that they were only offering to 10-20 journals at a time? This would reduce submissions significantly, and also allow journals more comfort in knowing that the authors really are interested and that their offers, while being shopped, aren't being shopped to every single school ranked higher than they are.
The problem is that it would be hard for authors to credibly commit, since any individual is best served by cheating. But what if the system's intermediaries--ExpressO and Scholastica--offered this feature? That is, allowed authors to signal that they'd only submitted to a limited number of reviews at any one time, and then flagged those pieces as "exclusive" (or at least, semi-exclusive) for law review editors? If the reviews collectively stated a preference--even a mild one--for such submissions, maybe we'd all be better off.

The Department of Ethics & Business Law in the Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas has an opening for a one-year position as a Visiting Distinguished Service Faculty in Business Law, for the 2014-15 academic year.

The College of Business Administration (COBA) at Texas A&M University--Central Texas (A&M-Central Texas) is currently looking for new faculty members in our Management and Marketing Department with a particular need for someone able to teach employment law, labor relations, and legal environment of business courses (all three in an academic year) beginning in the fall of 2015.
A&M-Central Texas was established in 2009 as an upper-level undergraduate and graduate institution within the Texas A&M University System. Although we are young and developing, the state, the region, the U.S. Army, the Texas A&M System, and a Silicon Valley investment group are all making considerable investments in our success. In 2010, the U.S. Army donated 600+ acres of land for our campus, and our second building on the new campus just opened this summer, with others to follow, including a building to house COBA.
A&M-Central Texas is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools Commission on Colleges and COBA is currently ACSBP accredited. We are excited to announce that in March we formally began an exciting journey towards AACSB accreditation by becoming a member institution and have continued to work diligently on that goal over the last several months.
We are located in Killeen, TX, a city of about 120,000 (not including the 50,000+ on Fort Hood, which is the largest Army installation in the world). Killeen is about an hour north of Austin, and just a few miles west of the I-35 corridor, which is one of the fastest trans-metropolitan regions in North America. Killeen is part of an MSA of over 400 thousand, which grew an astonishing 30% between 2000 and 2010, and has been virtually recession-proof. New investment and construction has continued unabated at a breakneck pace since 2009, and the State of Texas currently operates with a large budget surplus. A&M-Central Texas also has the most diverse student body in Texas, and Killeen is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the state (owing a lot to Fort Hood).
Furthermore, the cost of living can't be beat: the median home value in this ZIP code is around $125,000, and the cost-of-living index is only 87 (100 is average).
Our student body is non-traditional, with an average age of about 33 years, but that has been trending downward. We have a lot of active duty and veteran military personnel, but a growing proportion of civilians. Most of our classes are offered in the afternoon and evening, but we are moving toward more traditional morning/day classes. In addition, because of our strong ties to serving military personnel around the world, we also offer many courses online (40%). This is an important element of our university mission, and is not driven solely by cost considerations.
We have excellent online course technology, technical support, and a course development support staff to help those with little or no online teaching experience get up to speed. Depending on preferences, most full-time faculty teach anywhere from 25%-50% of their courses online.
Faculty members would first and foremost be expected to provide excellent instruction, but a significant part of faculty evaluation includes university and professional service and scholarship. The research and publication expectations here are modest and commensurate with our teaching mission. There is ample flexibility and funding support to engage in scholarly activities, and many of our faculty members do it very well. Our current faculty members have published in noteworthy journals and have served on several major editorial boards. We are looking for people who can and want to do research, but who are equally concerned with quality teaching and having an impact on students and in the community. Our primary concern is that you care deeply about what you write about and are bringing that excitement and knowledge into the classroom.
Teaching at a young, growing institution is a lot of work, but it's also a unique opportunity to have the flexibility to do scholarship and service that "counts" in many different ways, and to be able to put your fingerprint on an institution that is changing lives daily, and hopefully for many years to come.
Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate the capability to teach at a high level in both face to face and online course formats, which assumes strong technological skills and hopefully experience using learning management systems like Blackboard. This will be a tenure track appointment at the rank of either Assistant or Associate Professor and pay commensurate with one's experience and the norms of similarly situated institutions.
Lucas Loafman who is the Chair of the A&M-Central Texas Management & Marketing Department, and a longtime ALSB member, will be in Seattle Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to speak with interested applicants.
If you have any questions or are interested in discussing this with him in Seattle, he may be reached at email@example.com.
To apply visit the TAMUCT jobs site (posting to appear soon): https://www.tamuctjobs.com/applicants/jsp/shared/Welcome_css.jsp
Babson College has an opening for a tenure track Assistant or Associate Professor of Business Law. Would you please notify the list serve?

I wanted to finish up my discussion of administrative enforcement by considering alternatives. We often take regulatory enforcement for granted. A securities regulator, for example, naturally will have the power to seek out violations of the securities laws and sanction violations. As is common in administrative law, scholars, courts, and Congress start with the assumption that expertise in the industry is the most important input into the enforcement calculus. If an agency is familiar with an industry, it will make good enforcement choices.
In my forthcoming article in the Minnesota Law Review, I argue that this question is actually much more complex than we usually assume. In particular, prosecutorial discretion has strong generalist aspects that largely do not depend on the regulatory subject matter. Giving enforcement authority to a specialist agency instead of a generalist enforcer (such as the Department of Justice) trades one type of expertise for another. Furthermore, specialists inherently see enforcement actions more narrowly. As a result, we shouldn't see enforcement by regulatory agencies as inevitable or automatic.
Since it is still in draft form, I'd very much appreciate any and all comments. Thanks again to Erik for the chance to blog this week.

I have a problem with VAPs--the visiting assistant professorships/fellowships that are the most common entry-point to the legal academy. What I am looking for in a new colleague is curiosity, discipline, and the capacity for intellectual give-and-take--not just play king-of-the-hill and defend a position against all comers, but engage in a real dialogue. One of my colleagues call it "sparkiness."
So how do you find that?
Pre-VAP, writing an article while in practice was a strong signal--if you were interested, cared enough, and were hard enough working to write while in practice, you were a pretty good bet. With VAPs now de rigeur, the signal is muddied. Each law school that houses VAPs has strong institutional incentives to place all of them, so it's hard to use VAP recommenders as a signal--the law school will find someone to enthuse about each of its VAPs. And VAPs are now well-groomed to say the right things, coached as to the standard arguments and responses. They talk the talk. But will they walk the walk 3 years into teaching? It's hard for me to tell.
There are recommenders and recommenders, of course. Each institution will have those discerning types who don't lard on the praise--whose compliments, even if sparing, mean more than the lavish encomiums of their colleagues. But how to find these?
As I commented on Elizabeth Pollman's great closing post,
last year I was talking to a distinguished older professor about hiring. He said he had stopped caring about how smart someone was, since everybody at this level is smart. "I don't care how smart the candidate is. Show me why they've done." I've thought about that conversation a lot since then. What makes a successful law professor or law student seems to have as much to do with drive/work ethic as smartness. The latter may be necessary, but is not sufficient.
It's just harder to discern "what someone has done" when their job as a VAP is basically to produce scholarship and have it be vetted and polished. Of course I'm just throwing stones--I don't have any ideas about how to make these discernments in the post-VAP age. Maybe someone else does?

I blogged yesterday about administrative enforcement, an area that lies at the intersection of criminal and administrative law. Among other topics, my scholarship has considered the civil penalty process. In particular, what are the inputs and incentives that shape administrative agency penalties?
A standard model used to describe the penalty process emphasizes economic theories of deterrence. Financial penalties are a mechanism to raise the price for violations either to make misconduct completely unprofitable or, in the alternative, to force violators to internalize the costs of violations. I've pointed out one way that this theory may break down – administrative agencies might not focus on deterrence at all. Instead, their penalties may be crafted to achieve retributive ends.
In our recent Harvard Law Review article, For-Profit Public Enforcement, Margaret H. Lemos and I looked at penalties from another perspective: public enforcers may have self-interested reasons to maximize civil penalty recoveries. These incentives are widely recognized in private enforcement. Class action lawyers, for example, operating on a contingency fee basis have straightforward reasons to maximize recoveries.
Perhaps less obviously, public enforcement lawyers can have comparable incentives to impose large penalties. These incentives work most clearly in cases where enforcement agencies keep a portion of the civil penalties imposed. This structure is common in the asset forfeiture process used in connection with many criminal cases and also exists in other state and federal enforcement contexts. Even when penalties are turned over to the general treasury, enforcers may have reputational incentives to maximize penalties. Both agencies as a whole and individuals working in enforcement agencies may seek to build a reputation as an aggressive enforcer for reasons other than deterrence.
Assuming that these claims are right and that civil penalties can be driven by retributive or self-interested goals, is this a problem? Perhaps, perhaps not. Self-interested public enforcement may push enforcers to emphasize financial recoveries over other tools of regulatory control, such as injunctive relief. However, if our default assumption is that administrative agencies underenforce and usually do not impose adequate penalties, the pressure of self-interest may correct this trend to some degree.
The presence of retribution in civil penalties has similarly mixed effects. Of course, if penalties are supposed to be carefully calculated to deter, retributive ends will hamper this goal. On the other end, we now widely recognize the role of norms in shaping compliance behavior. Retributive punishment done well can shape and reinforce industry norms.

Erik, thank you for that introduction. It is a pleasure to join the Conglomerate for a week. My scholarly interests have recently focused on federal administrative enforcement – enforcement actions by agencies like the SEC, the CFTC, as well as a host of lower profile entities. This is a fascinating area of public law combining two scholarly literatures. Administrative enforcement actions share much in common with criminal cases. They are brought by public entities to vindicate public wrongs. However, the administrative context deeply shapes this type of enforcement. For example, unlike most prosecutor's offices, administrative enforcement bodies tend to be industry-specific.
As a result, administrative enforcement can go wrong in two different ways– the "criminal law" way or the "administrative law" way. Administrative agencies face the challenges of regulatory capture, inadequate or incorrect information, or simply the wrong incentives to engage in appropriate regulatory action. Criminal enforcement, though, often struggles with procedural fairness as well as the difficult task of assigning the correct level of punishment to different forms of misconduct.
Take, for example, this last issue: the fundamental question of penalty levels. Administrative agencies commonly use financial penalties to punish regulatory violations. How should these penalties be set? Which cases require the largest penalties and which only need more modest sanctions?
Criminal law scholars will recognize this question as an inquiry about theories of punishment. Speaking broadly, criminal law considers a couple of approaches. Utilitarian theories of punishment (e.g., deterrence, rehabilitation, incapacitation) seek to punish conduct to produce beneficial social outcomes. Retributive theories emphasize desert – punishment occurs because the violator deserves punishment, not because it produces a social benefit.
So what do federal agencies do? As I argue here, administrative agencies almost uniformly talk about deterrence, but usually engage in retribution. When setting penalty levels, agencies move penalties up or down in response to facts that justify retributive punishment but do not adjust penalties in the way deterrence requires. For instance, building on Gary Becker's justifiably famous work, Crime and Punishment: An Economic Approach, most deterrence theories emphasize the role of the probability of detection in setting penalty levels. To deter appropriately, penalties need to increase when violations are harder to detect and punish. In practice, though, administrative agencies place little weight on this issue. Instead, agencies are deeply concerned with issues like mens rea, a topic far more central to retributive theories of punishment.
Is this retributive bent in administrative enforcement surprising? Perhaps not. A large literature suggests that most people are intuitively retributive when making punishment choices. In social science experiments, study participants set penalties based on retributive concerns, but do not adjust punishment levels in ways that would be required to deter appropriately. In this way, administrative agencies look like the rest of us. We mostly care about desert even when we talk about deterrence.

Steve Bainbridge is not afraid to stake a claim. Yesterday he took aim at both empirical legal scholarship and the law & PhD. folks. How not to win friends and influence people at a law professor conference, indeed.
I'm not singing Steve's tune, but I will hum a few bars. I've done some empirical work, and I see real value in its insistence on seeing what's actually out there--how things work in the real world. Especially in the corporate and securities fields, we can count things and measure the effects of changes in the law. To ignore that ability to measure and test law's impact seems foolhardy.
Still, we are law professors. Law must come first. I remember in my earliest days in the academy listening with disbelief to a fellow newbie law prof: "I just want to do empirical work, and law pays better than economics. I don't care about the law at all." He laughed. I didn't.
There does seem to be a "race to economics" in ELS these days, to see whose works is most rigorous--meaning most like that of real economists. I think "Law and"s --including economics PhDs, but also myriad other disciplines--can contribute to a law faculty, but their value is that legal training enables them to pursue questions that would not occur to straight PhD's. One of the projects I'm working on is a hybrid constitutional law, securities law, political science piece. It may all come to naught, but it's an inquiry a political scientist wouldn't make,. That's my comparative advantage as a lawyer.
In the comments to his post Steve laments that "the legal academy is not producing scholarship that is relevant to the bench and bar or that our graduates (especially at the T14 schools) are coming out of school better versed in theory than professional skills." This is a problem. Even than for the general law prof, for "Law and"s I think that practice is vital.
To put it bluntly, Harvard/Yale/Chicago/Columbia/Stanford can hire whoever they want, because they're in the business of pedigreeing elite students. They can hire professors who haven't practiced law and who write about theoretical topics. It doesn't effect their students' job prospects. All the other law schools have lemming-like followed their lead, accepting without question that the way up the USN&WR rankings is to look as much like possible as the T5. That worked fine during boom times, but in this legal market, it seems a lot like walking off a cliff.

Here is an old saw: the best way to predict bubbles is to look at the industry to which Harvard MBA grads are flocking. I used this as a laugh line when I spoke to David's students at Wharton in October. Now Matt O'Brien at the Washington Post Wonkblog extends the analysis to Crimson undergrads.
O'Brien's article is the latest salvo in the analysis of what makes "Organization Kids" flock to finance. Kevin Roose's Young Money made a splash when it was published earlier this year. Academics looking to understand students should consider delving into what makes students who enter finance and law with more than a dismissive lament of "kids these days." Indeed, the modern university seems designed specifically to create organization kids. Think of how the bizarre gatekeeping rituals of college admissions filter down to create an achievement junky culture that begins in middle school if not earlier. Students and parents seek to anticipate the divinations of middle aged oracles who themselves attempt to divine meaning from personal statements and lists of extracurriculars.
The Harvard MBA Indicator is a fun parlor game. But it also suggests that in trying to understand deep questions such as why bubbles begin and how financial institutions operate, we might look at a broader set of disciplines than just economics. Some very interesting legal scholarship on bubbles, financial markets (think Stuart Banner's history) and financial institutions (Annelise Rile's sociological studies of Japanese firms) serves as examples of the possibilities. If academics lament their students being organization kids, they should have a little self-awareness and step outside their own institutional comfort zone.

We enjoyed a great lineup of speakers and cutting edge scholarship here in Boulder this past semester as part of CU's Business Law Colloquium. The following papers make for excellent start-of-the-summer reading:
Dan Katz (Michigan State): Quantitative Legal Prediction – or – How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Preparing for the Data Driven Future of the Legal Services Industry: a provocative look at Big Data will help clients analyze everything from whether to bring or settle a lawsuit to how to hire legal counsel. Katz examines implications for legal education.
Rob Jackson (Columbia): Toward a Constitutional Review of the Poison Pill (with Lucian Bebchuk): Jackson and Bebchuk kicked a hornet's nest with their argument that some state antitakeover statutes (and, by extension, poison pills under those statutes) may be preempted by the Williams Act. See here for the rapid fire response from Martin Lipton.
Brad Bernthal (Colorado): What the Advocate's Playbook Reveals About FCC Institutional Tendencies in an Innovation Age: my co-teacher interviewed telecom lawyers to map out both their strategies for influencing the Federal Communications Commission and what these strategies mean for stifling innovation in that agency.
Kate Judge (Columbia): Intermediary Influence: Judge examines the mechanisms by which intermediaries – both financial and otherwise – engage in rent-seeking rather than lowering transaction costs for market participants. The paper helps explain everything from Tesla's ongoing fight with the Great State of New Jersey to sell cars without relying on dealers to entrenchment by large financial conglomerates.
Lynn Stout (Cornell): Killing Conscience: The Unintended Behavioral Consequences of 'Pay For Performance': Stout argues that pay for performance compensation in companies undermines ethical behavior by framing choices in terms of monetary reward. This adds to the growing literature on compliance which ranges from Tom Tyler's germinal work to Tung & Henderson, who argue for adapting pay for performance for regulators.
Steven Schwarcz (Duke): The Governance Structure of Shadow Banking: Rethinking Assumptions About Limited Liability: Schwarcz argues for imposing additional liability on the "owner-managers" of some shadow banking entities to dampen the moral hazard and excessive risk taking by these entities, which contributed to the financial crisis. This paper joins a chorus of other papers arguing to using shareholder or director & officer liability mechanisms to fight systemic risk. (See Hill & Painter; Admati, Conti-Brown, & Pfleiderer; and Armour & Gordon).
[I'll inject myself editorially on this one paper: this is a provocative idea, but one that would make debt even cheaper relative to equity than it already is. This would encourage firms to ratchet up already high levels of leverage. I looked at the expansion of limited liability in Britain in the 18th Century in Chapter 2 of my book. The good news for Schwarcz's proposal from this history: expansions of limited liability seem to have coincided and contributed to the booms in the cycle of financial crises in that country that occurred every 10 years in that country. The bad news: unlimited liability for shareholders does not seem to have staved off crises and likely contributed to the contagion in the Panic of 1825.]
The CU Business Law Colloquium also heard from Gordon Smith (BYU), Jim Cox (Duke), Sharon Matusik (Colorado – Business), Afra Afsharipour (UC Davis), Jesse Fried (Harvard), and Brian Broughman (Indiana). Their papers are not yet up on ssrn.

Haskell Murray and Anne Tucker recently blogged quite engagingly about their Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). They made me feel old--not only because of these newfangled acronyms, but also because I remember feeling that way myself. I found particularly brave their articulation of the suspicion that they weren't "good enough" and had somehow lucked into the job. I remember feeling that way, too, and I have a sneaking suspicion that there are 2 kinds of junior faculty members: 1) those who think they're not really as smart as everyone else, and 2) those who really aren't as smart as everyone else. "Arrogance" is just a few letters away from "ignorance."
But I digress. I remember feeling this way, and I had a mentor give me excellent advice my first year:
Just say no.
At least, your default answer should be "no." To my chagrin, I realized something at the end of my first year of teaching: This job has infinite demands. There are 3 elements to it: teaching, scholarship, and service. You could devote every waking moment to your teaching, and still have more you could do. Ditto for service. Ditto to the nth degree for scholarship: always another talk you could attend, an article you could read. But you can't do those things and write. At least, I can't. You have to get used to always feeling like there's more you can do. You'll feel guilt, but you have to make your peace with it.
I set boundaries for myself, like trying not to travel more than once a month while classes are in session. But the best piece of advice I got was that your default answer should be "no."
P.S. Haskell, I'd love for people to think that I'm some kind of superwoman, but that was my schedule for a brief period of my life. Baby #3 started sleeping through the night at about 6 months. Hallelujah!

By now, the risk that a distressed European nation such as Greece might leave the Eurozone and thereby spark global economic calamity is well known. Regular readers of this blog may even privately relish the prominence of the issue. Not since the days of the gold standard has international monetary policy come so close to being a socially acceptable topic of dinner conversation.
As I noted in my first post, observers rightly perceive the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis to be driven by political and economic forces. But many consequences of a euro breakup would be determined by law, including sources of American (specifically New York) private law.
This is a complex issue. I try to address it more fully in a new article, "Boilerplate Shock," which I've just posted on SSRN.
In brief, and to continue picking on Greece, one key question in the event of a euro breakup would be: would a court recognize an attempt by Greece to convert its euro-denominated debt into its new currency, or would it instead insist that Greece pay in euros, the currency of contract? The answer is important because, as a practical matter, requiring payment in euro would be tantamount to forcing a default.
That's the familiar narrative, anyway. And I agree. But I believe that the ubiquity of boilerplate terms in these bonds—specifically, clauses selecting governing law (usually foreign) and currency of payment (euro)—is likely to make any dispute over redenomination even more damaging than this suggests.
In the article, I argue that the sparse literature on the question of redenominating sovereign bonds overlooks some sources—especially cases interpreting New York contract law and private international law—that, if extended to Eurozone sovereign bonds, could surprise the market and cause serious global repercussions. I argue that the reason for this is not only that the dominant view overlooks what are likely controlling sources of law. It is that standardization of contract terms across the Eurozone sovereign lending market makes the stakes of surprise that much higher.
If Greece's attempt to redenominate its bonds is declared a default, then the fact that the operative terms in Italian, Spanish, Irish, etc. sovereign bonds are the same or similar makes markets likely to demand unsustainable premiums from those countries. Capital and investor flight could be very rapid. We have seen several previews of this movie over the past few years in the Eurozone, and each time official-sector bailout institutions have saved the day. But the European Union/European Central Bank and IMF probably do not have the resources to stop a broad-based bank run of this nature, to say nothing of the political support necessary to attempt it.
Maybe none of that will happen. Nevertheless, the potential for uniform contract terms to create risk not just to individual third parties but to securities markets seems likely to grow at least as fast as those markets. Using Eurozone sovereign bonds as a case study, I introduce the term "boilerplate shock" to describe the potential for standardized contract terms—when they come to govern the entire market for a given security—to transform an isolated default on a single contract into a threat to the market of which it is a part, and, possibly, to the economy in general. My larger objective here is to foster a discussion of the potential for securities law and private-sector securities lawyers to manage (or alternatively, to contribute to) systemic risk.
I've posted an abstract below and will be returning to the subject. I look forward your comments.
Boilerplate Shock abstract:
No nation was spared in the recent global downturn, but several Eurozone countries arguably took the hardest punch, and they are still down. Doubts about the solvency of Greece, Spain, and some of their neighbors are making it more likely that the euro will break up. Observers fear a single departure and sovereign debt default might set off a "bank run" on the common European currency, with devastating regional and global consequences.
What mechanisms are available to address—or ideally, to prevent—such a disaster?
One unlikely candidate is boilerplate language in the contracts that govern sovereign bonds. As suggested by the term "boilerplate," these are provisions that have not been given a great deal of thought. And yet they have the potential to be a powerful tool in confronting the threat of a global economic conflagration—or in fanning the flames.
Scholars currently believe that a country departing the Eurozone could convert its debt obligations to a new currency, thereby rendering its debt burden manageable and staving off default. However, this Article argues that these boilerplate terms—specifically, clauses specifying the law that governs the bond and the currency in which it will be paid—would likely prevent such a result. Instead, the courts most likely to interpret these terms would probably declare a departing country's effort to repay a sovereign bond in its new currency a default.
A default would inflict damage far beyond the immediate parties. Not only would it surprise the market, it would be taken to predict the future of other struggling European countries' debt obligations, because they are largely governed by the same boilerplate terms. The possibility of such a result therefore increases the risk that a single nation's departure from the euro will bring down the currency and trigger a global meltdown.
To mitigate this risk, this Article proposes a new rule of contract interpretation that would allow a sovereign bond to be paid in the borrower's new currency under certain circumstances. It also introduces the phrase "boilerplate shock" to describe the potential for standardized contract terms drafted by lawyers—when they come to dominate the entire market for a given security—to transform an isolated default on a single contract into a threat to the broader economy. Beyond the immediate crisis in the Eurozone, the Article urges scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to address the potential for boilerplate shock in securities markets to damage the global economy.

Greetings, Glommers! (and hello, Janet and Mario*!)
It's an honor to join this extremely sharp and thoughtful community of corporate and commercial law scholars for the next two weeks. The Conglomerate has long been one of my favorite law blogs and it's truly a privilege to walk among these folks for a time (if a bit daunting to follow not just them but Urska Velikonja and her excellent guest posts). Thanks to Gordon, David, and their Glom partners for inviting me to contribute.
By way of biographical introduction, I'm currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, where I teach International Business Transactions and International Commercial Arbitration. Last year, I did a VAP at Hofstra Law School (and taught Bus Orgs and Contracts).
In the next few weeks, I'll be exploring a number of issues related to law and global finance. I have a particular interest in currencies and monetary law, or the law governing monetary policy. Two of my current projects (on which more soon) address legal aspects of critical macroeconomic policy questions that have emerged since 2008: U.S. monetary policy and the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis.
Without further ado, I will take a page from Urska and kick off my residency here with a somewhat meta question: should scholars refrain from writing about legal issues in macroeconomics, specifically monetary policy?
One thinks of monetary policy decisions—whether or not to raise interest rates, purchase billions of dollars of securities on the secondary market ("quantitative easing"), devalue or change a currency—as fundamentally driven by political and economic factors, not law. And of course they are. But the law has a lot to say about them and their consequences, and legal scholarship has been pretty quiet on this.
Some concrete examples of the types of questions I'm talking about would be:
- Pursuant to its dual mandate (to maintain price stability and full employment), what kinds of measures can the Federal Reserve legally undertake for the purpose of promoting full employment? More generally, what are the Fed's legal constraints?
- What recognition should American courts extend to an attempt by a departing Eurozone member state to redenominate its sovereign debt into a new currency?
When it comes to issues like these, it is probably even more true than usual that law defines the boundaries of policy. Legal constraints in the context of U.S. monetary policy appear fairly robust even in times of crisis. For example, policymakers themselves often cite law as a major constraint when speaking of the tools available to the Federal Reserve in combating unemployment and deflation post-2008. Leading economics commentators do too. Yet commentary on "Fed law" is grossly underdeveloped. With the exception of a handful of impressive works (e.g., by Colleen Baker and Peter Conti-Brown), legal academics have largely left commentary on the Fed and macroeconomics to the econ crowd.
A different sort of abstention characterizes legal scholarship on the euro crisis. Unlike the question of Fed power, there is a burgeoning literature on various "what-if" euro break-up scenarios. But this writing tends to focus on the impact on individual debtors and creditors, not on the cumulative impact on the global financial system. Again, the macro element is missing.
It is curious that so many legal scholars would voluntarily absent themselves from monetary policy debates. The subtext is that monetary policy questions are either normatively or descriptively beyond the realm of law. If that is scholars' actual view, I think it is misguided. But maybe the silence is not as revealing as all that.
- One issue is sources. You will not find a lot of useful caselaw on the Fed's mandate or the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and the relevant statutes and regulations are not very illuminating. Further, it's a secretive institution and that makes any research (legal or otherwise) on its inner workings challenging.
- Another issue is focus. Arguably the natural home of legal scholarship on domestic monetary issues, for example, should be administrative law. But the admin scholarly gestalt is not generally as econ-centric as, say, securities law. Meanwhile, securities scholars tend to focus on microeconomic issues like management-shareholder dynamics.
- A final possibility, at least in the international realm, is historical. After World War II, Bretton Woods established a legal framework intended to minimize the chance that monetary policy would again be used as a weapon of war. The Bretton Woods system collapsed over forty years ago, the giants of international monetary law (Frederick Mann, Arthur Nussbaum) wrote (and died) during the twentieth century, and now even some of the leading scholars who followed in their footsteps have passed away. At the same time, capital now flows freely across borders and global financial regulation has become less legalized in general. These factors plus the decline of exchange-rate regulations (most countries let their currencies float) may have undermined scholars' interest in monetary law. But as the ongoing euro saga demonstrates, international monetary law and institutions remain as critical as ever.
These are some possible explanations for why legal scholars have largely neglected questions of monetary law, but I'm sure I've overlooked others. What do you think?

Day at the beach
Spent the day on the beautiful clearwater beach. The sand feels like talcum powder and is completely white, their are loads of birds. Giant pelicans and little ones that I think are going to peck my head and think I'm a fish. Wonderfully chilled out day, finished off with a walk along the beach and dinner at Frenchys again. Very very sunburnt!!!!
Mobile, Tallahassee and Clearwater
Safe to say that I was in a bad way after our night out in New Orleans! Far too much alcohol was consumed and we met two new friends! After New Orleans we drove to Mobile and on the way stopped at Biloxi, a lovely seaside town. We went on a really cool and interesting shrimp boat trip in the bay. We then took a tour around the house of the president of the confederacy during the civil war. We then left Biloxi and went to Bellingrath Gardens and house. This was owned by ...
Unexpected hectic day preceded our getting away!
... dinner at Amy and John's was perfect! John did a wonderful job grilling salmon while Amy prepared a nice kale salad and a baked acorn squash dish. We certainly appreciated a pleasant respite from our somewhat anxious day!
Back in Tampa we learned that the hotel was providing taxi service for us. Congrats, Evelyn, for your persistence! We had to compromise, though. We'd leave at 4:30 rather than at ...
2015 On the road again....
... Pacific Northwest. Oddly enough,
the weather is supposed to be much cooler and drier from here up to
Missouri. Go figure – in the 50's in the
upper Midwest and us without a lot of warmer clothes.
We are undertaking this trip totally blind with no
plan. We will just get up, take out the
map, close our eyes and point to a place.
And "NO" we will not go there but I just thought it would be fun to pretend. We are ...
Clearwater RV park
... to stop on the way by to get hotspot working. Left Verizon with no satisfaction - said it was working but that my device wasn't working. After considerable time sitting at the office at the park (the only place the free wifi will work) looking for possible reasons why we weren't able to get online, we decided to go back and try again. Finally after 1 1/2 hours in Verizon my hotspot works!! They finally put a new SIM card in. That sure was a relief because we were counting ...

Chevy Stroker 496 Big Block - Saturday Night Special

Chevy Stroker 496 Big Block - Saturday Night Special
496CI: A Closer Look
1. An Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake manifold matched our rectangular-port heads and had an optimum power range between 3,500 and 7,500 rpm.2. The Edelbrock Victor Jr. CNC heads offer 112cc combustion chambers and 2.25/1.90-inch intake/exhaust valves.
3. The Coast High Performance 496 big-block came with domed pistons for just $3,700.4. 2 1/8-inch headers were used and we added 18-inch collectors, showing no power loss.
5. A Milodon oil pan with pick-up and pump fed our motor and kept the oil pressure flowing at a solid 66 psi.
A cam from Comp featured 267/276 degrees of duration and 0.435/ 0.470-inch intake/exhaust lift with a 110-degree lobe separation. It's an off-the-shelf grind and gave us the right amount of bump to get the air in and exhaust out. When installing the cam, prelube the lobes of the cam to help slide it in easier and be careful not to gouge or knick the cam bearings. Take your time.
To increase compression, we used a set of Probe's domed slugs with a complete set of Performance Circle rings. We then hung the pistons on Probe's 6.385-inch 4340 H-beam rods and checked bearing clearances for proper slippage on the crank rod journals.
A 4150 Holley HP Series 1,000-cfm carburetor was practically ready right out of the box, requiring only minor tweaking of the idle and air mixture screws.
With the bottom end complete, we installed the cam button and set the timing cover in place. It's a good idea to run a bead of sealant before and after you lay the gasket on. This way, the gasket is sandwiched between the two layers of sealant. No need to torque these bolts; tighten them until they are snug.
Even with a new oil pump, there are no guarantees it'll be completely debris-free. Unbolt the oil pumphousing plate cover and give it a good solvent rinse. Pour a bit of oil over the gears before you bolt the plate back on. Slide the oil pump drive through the main cap and bolt on the oil pump and pick-up.
For good measure, we rolled the motor over (crank facing up). We mocked up the pan by laying it over on the pan rails, then we spun the crankshaft over a few revolutions after making sure the bolts lined up and our rods weren't going to rub into the bottom of the pan. Nothing knocked against the pan, so we again sandwiched a gasket with sealant and bolted it down.
For the head studs, we spread thread sealant on the inner threads of the block and on the threads of the studs. We then laid the Fel-Pro gaskets on both sides and slid the Edelbrock heads onto the block. From there, we liberally spread moly-lube on the upper ends of the studs and spun the nuts with washers on. We torqued them from the center out in a clockwise fashion, first at 65 ft-lb, then 75 ft-lb.
We used a Comp Cams line of T-bar lifters to match our solid roller.
Tickling the valves, we used 3/8-inch-diameter Comp pushrods with an 8.350-inch length on the intake and 9.400-inch length on the exhaust with a set of 1.7:1 Pro Magnum rockers up top and lashed them to 0.018/0.020 cold.
Before installing the manifold, we applied a bead of sealant to the lifter valley wall and placed the gaskets over the intake ports. We laid the manifold on top and bolted it down.
Since we were looking for upper-rpm flogs, we went with a single-plane Edelbrock Victor Jr. manifold. Something to keep in mind is that even with the occasional show cruises, this stump-puller is already producing 543 lb-ft at 4,100 rpm, so there's little concern for torque loss on the bottom end.
Edelbrock's Super Series valve covers with PermaStar have a shine that won't fade or discolor, are easy to clean, and cost just $163.
An 8-inch professional-products damper was used because it's dimensionally the same as an OE 454 damper and extremely affordable at only $70-we couldn't beat it. Plus, the timing numbers are easy to read with engraved marks every 90 degrees.

Introduction To The Link Between Leadership, Change Management, And Communication
Date Added: Jan 2010
Format: HTML
It is clear that if the leader communicates effectively, he or she will be sending messages that decrease resistance, and encourage moving through the change more effectively and positively. The bottom line with all of this is if you screw up communicating with employees, even the smallest changes can result in ugly problems. As a change leader you need to make decisions about who you must communicate with, what needs to be communicated, when you will communicate and how you will do it.

NCAA Championship Sites Include Another Tampa Frozen Four, Six Events In St. Louis
Published December 12, 2013
GATEWAY TO CHAMPIONSHIPS: In St. Louis, Stu Durando notes after the city "established an attendance record" for the '12 NCAA D-I wrestling championships, it was "not a surprise that the NCAA awarded the event to Scottrade Center" in '15 and '17. Last year, 112,393 "attended the three days of competition, and the city has four of the top five attendance marks of all time." By earning the tournament for two more years, St. Louis "will have hosted the event eight times -- more than any other city." However, the "other six NCAA events that landed in St. Louis are somewhat less familiar for the St. Louis Sports Commission." Chaifetz Arena will host the '17 and '18 women's gymnastics championships, as well as D-II wrestling in '15. Tropicana Lanes will host women's bowling in '15 and '18, and Family Arena was awarded women's hockey in '17 (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 12/12).
MORE FOR MO: In K.C., Blair Kerkhoff notes the greater K.C. area was awarded 14 NCAA championships yesterday, "more than any other city." Soccer, volleyball and football national championships are "coming to the Kansas City area" from '14-18. The NCAA D-I men's College Cup "will be played at Sporting Park" in '15. The D-I women's volleyball championship "returns to the Sprint Center" in '17, and the D-II football championship "will be played at Sporting Park" from '14-17 (K.C. STAR, 12/12).
RUNNING IN PLACE: In Portland, Ken Goe noted the NCAA awarding the D-I track and field championships to Hayward Field through '21 could be "the first step toward making Eugene the meet's permanent home." The Univ. of Oregon hosted last year's event, and "already was scheduled to hold the meet" in '14. UO Senior Associate AD and TrackTown USA President Vin Lananna said that the NCAA and UO would "examine the arrangement after a few years." Lananna: "We'll see what makes sense for both sides" (OREGONLIVE.com, 12/11).

By Appointment
315 W 39th ST • STUDIO 708
Fondant is a wonderful, versatile medium. Although I was first introduced to started cake design with buttercream and it seems things have come full circle (this year I'm doing more buttercream cakes than fondant cakes for the first time in over 10 years), I still love fondant. Here are five reasons why.
1. You can color fondant any way you want. I love creating custom colors for clients. I've said before (check out tip #3 here) how I use my paint fan deck to help clients specify their color. I then use the deck almost as I would a color wheel, so that I know which direction I need to go in if my fondant is, say, too yellow to match the swatch. When creating a custom color, it's always easiest to start with a white base, and fondant, unlike my beloved buttercream which has a slight yellow tint due to the butter and can be tricky to color, starts off a beautiful alabaster white. So I can easily create a mint green fondant:
Or a pretty peach:
Or even a rich cappuccino color:
2. It's pretty resilient, really. The water in fondant begins to evaporate as soon as it comes into contact with air, allowing the fondant to firm pretty quickly. (It will eventually dry hard if it is not in contact with moisture, so fondant on dummy cakes will dry completely and be rock-hard, provided the climate is not too humid, within a week or so.) Again, I love the look and taste of buttercream, but an accidental poke of the finger is very hard to repair once the butter has softened. Fondant is much more forgiving and we joke that it can almost be "man-handled" relative to buttercream.
3. You can texture it. I've created many textures on fondant, and the possibilities are absolutely endless. Most recently, I pressed actual lace appliques into a fondant exterior and airbrushed it gold to get this effect:
I've also painted it for a galvanized steel look:
I've created a sweater texture (which I teach in my Craftsy class):
And even a pineapple texture:
When it comes to texture, don't be limited by tools designated for cake. I've created texture with kitchen gadgets, real fruit, and even a florescent light cover!
4. Fondant provides insulation. Fondant was originally used in England to cover fruit cakes and keep them fresh for shipping to the New World. It essentially seals the cake, creating a barrier between the cake and the air, and helps keep it moist. Some people object to the taste of fondant. I actually don't mind the taste, and I know people (okay, they're mostly people under the age of 12, but still) who love it. I even had a cat, Beans, that loved it. This was many years ago, when I still lived in New York and was working out of my home. Beans knew the sound of the fondant bucket opening and would come running from wherever he was in the apartment for a little taste of fondant. (I know that this is kind of sweet and kind of gross all at the same time. This is also why most health departments don't allow food products to be produced in the home kitchen.) What I don't love is the gummy texture of fondant with the crumb of the cake. So, it's a bit of a trade-off: Fondant-covered cake that might be a tad more moist but has a gummy exterior or buttercream cake that might suffer a bit in moisture content but is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
5. Its versatitility. We use fondant for so many applications. Add water, vodka, or Crisco and it becomes a paste-like consistency (we call it "gunge") that can be used to fill cracks and holes. Knead in some tylose and it can be used for beautiful ruffles, like the middle tier on this cake. (Photo: Erin Schrad)
