ASLH/Business History Conference Anne Fleming Article Prize to Gerardo Con Díaz dlvr.it/TGGnG8

I'm researching a 19th cent piece with Prof @zvisrosen Uni S. Illinois, USA: TMs, crime and Lea & Perrins Worcester sauce! We've got some great research but we're missing the archive that was held by Brian Keogh at @LandPGenuine - the original factory - in 1990s. Where is it now?

(1) Thrilled to say that my piece, "Resurrecting the Trinity of Legislative Constitutionalism," is heading to @YaleLJournal. This piece shows that--contrary to decades of SOP scholarship--Congress had its own equivalent to the DOJ's OLC for 50 years. (link below)

Imagine if your patent was signed by President George Washington. On this date 234 years ago, Washington signed into law “An Act to promote the progress of useful Arts." The bill encouraged new inventions by giving the creator exclusive rights for a limited time.

It has been the greatest honor of my career to write the Foreword for this term's @HarvLRev. I am grateful to have been able to tell this story and to tell it from the heart in such a prominent forum. As always, I dream of a day when words can change minds and hearts--and worlds.

@jessicaklowe @lsolum This is excellent advice, which I once tried to follow by actively not filling *all* the gaps. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Notable Lacunae, 20 Green Bag 2d 307 (2017)

Some of the first advice my wonderful PhD advisor gave me -- don't "fill gaps."
