Much US history in oil prices: prosperity growing after 1981 recession, staying strong in 90s, then Bush 43’s wars and China’s rise, but fracking/shale helped Obama & Trump 45.

Energized for a new semester of teaching the resurgent subject of #bankruptcy and coaching the University of Kansas School of Law bankruptcy moot court team in the Shapero and #Duberstein competitions. Nice synergy with my writing on #mediation and#arbitration in #insolvency cases.

Yes, the world is largely governed by strength but much US strength comes from embodying, albeit imperfectly, freedom, democracy & prosperity all of which attract allies who make the whole greater than the sum of the parts

10-time All-Star Steve Garvey asked "As a professor at #KULaw, do you do anything with #arbitration?", so we discussed his Supreme Court case, MLB Players Assn. v. Garvey, 532 U.S. 504 (2001).

The Federal #Arbitration Act is not broad enough. Repeal its "Arising out of" requirement to enforce MORE arbitration agreements. No, this is not an April Fools! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Thx to Rick Bales & Jill Gross for so capably leading dozens of scholars on this marvelous book. It has something for every angle and if you think the Supreme Court has badly misinterpreted the Federal #Arbitration Act then this chapter in particular is for you: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
