Welcome to the post-Groundhog Day edition of the Tuesday Top Ten! Congratulations to my amazing Texas A&M colleague Chris Odinet and his fantastic co-authors Kara Bruce (UNC – Chapel Hill) and Andrea Tosato (SMU Dedman) for seizing the top spot on both lists this week. Crypto and bankruptcy are clearly the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of commercial law scholarship—two great tastes that taste great together.
