Tuesday Top Ten – Contracts & Commercial Law Top SSRN Downloads for October 17, 2023

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Tuesday Top Ten! Friend of the blog Jeff Lipshaw has edged past the century mark with a second recent Top Ten piece, currently at nine on the Contracts & Commercial Law eJournal with Contract Law Illusions and Delusions. If Jeff’s previous work left you with decidedly mixed feelings about the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, you won’t want to miss his assault on the broader legal edifice in a piece characterized by the author as the last of his “Cynical Approaches to Doctrine” trilogy. Meanwhile, your humble contributing editor has climbed the third position on the Private Law – Contracts eJournal with After FTX: Can the Original Bitcoin Use Case Be Saved? but has sadly unfulfilled dreams of following Professor Lipshaw’s good example and surpassing 100 downloads. C’mon folks, let’s get to downloading already!

Meanwhile, I can feel King KProf Blog Jeremy Telman glaring at me from the top of the screen as if to ask: “Have you ever considered using your access to write a substantive blog post based on your article rather than just groveling for downloads?” Ouch! I may have to do that. It’s nonetheless a good reminder that we are regularly on the prowl for guest blogger content, so perhaps you too should give into the glare and send Jeremy something to appear in this august space.

So with that out of the way, let us hit the charts!
