Today, the Blog’s virtual symposium on Contracts and COVID continues with a contribution from two authors who have been very active, separately and together, in the field.
Mitu Gulati is on the faculty of the Duke Law School. His research focus these days is in thinking of solutions to the (possibly) coming global sovereign debt crisis. That said, his fervent hope is that such a crisis, where dozens of countries default simultaneously, will not happen. He often writes with Mark Weidemaier of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Although we have written about Mitu’s work on the blog before, this is his first stint with us as a guest blogger. Welcome!
Mark Weidemaier is the Ralph M. Stockton, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research examines the intersection between contracts and dispute resolution in domestic and international settings, as well as issues related to the structure and enforcement of sovereign debt. Mark’s last post on the blog came ten years ago in the context of a roundtable on the Rent-A-Center decision. Welcome back!
For those who have not been following, we recommend Mark and Mitu’s current collaboration project, the podcast Clauses and Controversies, available here and which Nancy Kim previously blogged about here.
