Joining Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law
I will be joining the Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law in August as Ordinary Professor of Law and Director of the Law and Entrepreneurship Program. The appointment begins August 20, 2026.
The Law and Entrepreneurship Program partners with CUA’s Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship. The directorship I will share with Alexander Hoffarth. The combination is the institutional setting my work has been moving toward: a law school that treats business formation as a legitimate exercise of human creativity, embedded inside a university that takes seriously the relationship between markets and moral formation.
The substantive teaching will continue to be Business Associations, Contract Law, Securities Regulation, and related courses. The scholarship will continue along the lines now visible in the digital-asset cluster, the governance cluster, and the university-governance cluster. The treatise will arrive at its publisher in roughly the same window. My commission with the New Hampshire Stable Token Commission continues. My directorship of the NYU Classical Liberal Institute’s Program on Organizations, Business and Markets continues.
I am grateful to UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law for seven generative years, including the colleagues who became collaborators and the students who taught me what doctrine actually requires. CUA’s invitation is an opportunity to extend a body of work that began at Florida, deepened at Chicago, and matured at UNH. The next chapter will be written in DC.
