Tuning in now to what is often one of my favorite #AALS sessions: the Emerging Voices in Securities Regulation paper discussion.
I think what I love the most, is the sincere generosity of senior scholars in this field is on full display during this session, as they give excellent comments to junior scholars on their work.
The best part is, that this kind of generosity is part and parcel of the scholars in this field - it is there all the time - even when there is no audience, not just during an AALS panel. We, junior scholars in the field, give you, senior scholars, our heartfelt thanks!
Today's session features - so far - @AlexPlattTweets, @akjennings, & Prof. Caleb Griffen of @BelmontLaw. I can't wait to read these!
Thoughtful comments provided on these papers by: @WashULaw's Prof. Andrew Tuch, @LoyolaLawSchool's Prof. Michael Guttentag and @WendyGCouture

Next up was: @geeyoungmin presenting her paper related to enforcement of stock exchange rules (looking forward to reading this - I generally enjoy @geeyoungmin's work, and this will be no exception!).

Now discussion turns to @nyulaw Pollack Center for Law & Business' Prof. Peter Robau's paper, with comments by the ever generous with her time and always helpful with paper comments @VolunteerTwit.
Seriously, if someday I can give back 1/2 of what @VolunteerTwit has given me and other junior scholars by way of mentorship and writing advice, it will be a huge accomplishment.
"Reconsidering Securities Industry Bars" by @JamesFTierney now under discussion. First, I am jealous of his zoom set-up. Second, the paper is first in a series of papers that looks at what the regulators are trying to accomplish with industry exclusion. It's a great project.
@JamesFTierney coined the second phrase I am going to use going forward "I welcome your most devastating comments." This and writing an "unfriendly paper" may be my 2 favorite takeaways from #AALS2021 related to my 2021 writing goals.
@ProfFletcher offers comments on the paper - but they are helpful, thoughtful, and kind, rather than "devastating."
The group now discusses: "Unequal Investment: A Case Study" by @UofSCLaw's Prof. Emily Winston in which she finds that we take a bifurcated approach to investments of ordinary investors and wealthy ones.
Another generous senior scholar in our field, @ProfKNJohnson of @EmoryLaw offers insightful comments to Prof. Winston to close out the panel.
And with that, the panel met expectations as one of my favorite #AALS2021 panels.
