Hi New York friends, I'm headed your way in the morning for two awesome events about The Pain Brokers. I hope you can join us for one or both! Tomorrow kicks off with an awesome panel of scholars @howarderichson.bsky.social, @gilatjbachar.bsky.social, Myriam Gilles, & Tony Sebok at Cardozo Law.

My latest with the @ucdavislaw.bsky.social Review argues that plaintiffs’ lawyers can refuse harmful NDAs by defining the scope of representation at the outset and reclaiming their role as both advocates and stewards of justice. Check it out: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @templelaw.bsky.social

JOTWELL on Prof. @gilatjbachar.bsky.social's work, Just Tort Settlements: "This excellent article is useful on the prominent issue of NDAs, and her methods have the potential to reveal information crucial to a better-functioning civil justice system." https://torts.jotwell.com/why-plaintiffs-settle/

Great to see @gilatjbachar.bsky.social’s excellent work highlighted.

Huge thanks to Professor Chris Robinette for his kind and insightful @jotwell.bsky.social review of my article, Just Tort Settlements, recently out with the @arizonastateuni.bsky.social law journal! Link to review and article in comments.

Can civil settlements be coercive? My new piece in the GW Law Review explores how power, pressure & silence deals can undermine true consent. Feedback welcome! Read more here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @templelaw.bsky.social

Alongside criminal consequences, we should be spending more time thinking about the culture of silence in the face of repeated wrongdoing. I've written about this here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... Full article from the Atlantic: www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
