Tuesday Top Ten – Contracts & Commercial Law Top SSRN Downloads for October 24, 2023

October 24, 2023

The Tuesday Top Ten returns with a smorgasbord of topics for those hungry for contract law content. We have unjust enrichment, penalties, artificial intelligence, and a bit of CISG. On a personal note, your humble contributing editor is thrilled to see After FTX: Can the Original Bitcoin Use Case Be Saved? in the #6 and #2 positions on the charts. If you are on the fence about downloading something from my oddball corner of commercial law for yourself, at least consider giving download links along with your trick-or-treat candy next week. Yes, you should do it for the children!

And now on to our actual business here–the SSRN charts.
