Tuesday Top Ten – Contracts & Commercial Law Top SSRN Downloads for November 7, 2023

November 7, 2023

Happy Off-Year Election Day to those in states who observe. Meanwhile, the calendar is also warning your humble contributor that my time clawing up the Top Ten lists is near an end, as SSRN postings quit being “new scholarship” after sixty days. Alas. Why, it seems like just yesterday when I started groveling for downloads. To all who aided After FTX: Can the Original Bitcoin Use Case Be Saved? in getting past the century mark on the aforementioned downloads: Thanks! Other downloads are possible in the future, of course (keep ’em coming) but my magical moments are nearly done on the Contract and Commercial Law Top Tens (Or is is “Tops Ten”? Inquiring attorneys general want to know) .

That’s enough melancholy. Let’s celebrate the newer and more exciting entrants on our version of the Billboard charts!
