Tuesday Top Ten – Contracts & Commercial Law Top SSRN Downloads for October 3, 2023

October 3, 2023

We have officially entered the last quarter of 2023, and what better way to celebrate than to fill your intellectual Steins with an Oktoberfest-worth of cold, frothy contract and commercial law. I confess to being especially drawn to a new entry on the Private Law – Contracts list at number 9 entitled After FTX: Can the Original Bitcoin Use Case Be Saved? If you would like to support your humble Contributing Editor with a few SSRN downloads then… well, let’s just say I (and SSRN) won’t refuse your offer!

Meanwhile, let’s hit the lists in a far less gratuitous manner.
