“  My new essay, Crossing the Rubicon: Assembling a Litigation Colossus in Mass Torts is forthcoming in the University of Michigan Law Review Online. The Cornell Law Review will be publishing my two, new articles, The Alchemist's Inversion and Mass-Tort Trusts and the Faustian Bargain, in 2025. The University of Pennsylvania Law Review recently published my article, Financial Disequilibrium. And last year, Yale Law Journal Forum posted my essay, Opaque Capital and Mass-Tort Financing. On September 19, 2023, I provided in-person testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee and discussed various topics involving mass tort bankruptcies.  ”
