There aren’t abounding law advisers who can affirmation Elon Musk accent their scholarship on Twitter. But that’s what happened aftermost November afterwards a abstract of a cardboard blue-blooded “A Sober Attending at SPACs,” co-authored by Abettor Assistant of Law Michael Ohlrogge, was acquaint on the internet. And Musk wasn’t the alone one to booty apprehension of Ohlrogge’s paper. In backward 2020, SPACS—or appropriate purpose accretion companies, a aforetime abstract agent for demography businesses public—were a Wall Street phenomenon, alluring billions in beforehand capital. “A Sober Look,” which dug below the advertising to bald hidden costs and aureate benefits, became a viral sensation.
Scores of columnist accounts and amusing media postings cited the paper. Podcasts answer it. Speaking invitations abounding in. By April 2021, aback Ohlrogge presented the cardboard at an NYU Law adroitness workshop, it had been downloaded from SSRN, a website adherent to broadcasting of bookish research, 22,000 times. All this, far in beforehand of the paper’s bookish publication, slated for January 2022 in the Yale Account on Regulation.
“I basic to congratulate you,” Sudler Family Assistant of Constitutional Law Richard Pildes said at the workshop, prefacing a catechism about the paper. “It’s aloof so attenuate to accept a above bazaar addition or action addition that addition writes a allotment about and so bound has such a above aftereffect on the debate.”
The appellation “scholarship” may betoken assignment that is rarefied, abstruse, and brash abundantly for added academics. But acknowledged scholarship is about consistently ashore in real-world issues. In animadversion delivered at NYU Law in 2011, Cass Sunstein, now a adroitness affiliate at Harvard Law School, emphasized the amount of belief and advancing account about the law. “What you do … absolutely matters,” he told the admirers of primarily adroitness and students. “People will aces it up, bodies will accept to it, and it will augment into a affectionate of river that is an bookish attitude that diplomacy and affects lives.”
How scholarship finds its way into that river, and the attributes of its impact, varies greatly. These four case studies appearance how assignment by NYU Law adroitness assembly has filtered into the accessible chat about an issue, and in some instances has shaped acknowledged rulings or accessible policy.
SPACs are about listed carapace corporations, formed to accretion a clandestine aggregation to absorb with and appropriately booty public. They accept been accustomed as an easier and cheaper way for companies to go public, compared to an antecedent accessible alms (IPO), and are about alleged “poor man’s clandestine equity,” because they acquiesce alone investors to accomplish bets on businesses afore they go public. The abeyant for SPAC sponsors (who anatomy the carapace companies) to acquire big windfalls has alike fatigued celebrities into the game, including Serena Williams, Jay-Z, and Paul Ryan, above apostle of the US House of Representatives. Beginning in mid-2020, the cardinal of SPAC offerings exploded, and they bound became the hottest affair on Wall Street, accounting for about 50 percent of all money aloft through IPOs in 2020 and an alike college allotment in aboriginal 2021.
But Michael Ohlrogge and his co-authors—Stanford Law Assistant Michael Klausner and Emily Ruan, Klausner’s assay assistant, now at Boston Consulting Group—threw algid baptize on the craze. “We accretion that costs congenital into the SPAC anatomy are subtle, opaque, and far college than has been ahead recognized,” they wrote, afterwards administering an all-embracing abstraction of 47 SPACs. Acquainted that the ample majority saw their post-merger prices fall, and that the advance accessible bore the accountability of their awful dilutive amount structure, they recommended authoritative measures to abode their concerns.
In September 2020, Ohlrogge and Klausner presented a near-final adaptation of their cardboard at the Law, Accounting, and Business Annex at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. They afresh had some email exchanges with Scott Kupor, managing accomplice of adventure basic abutting Andreessen Horowitz, afterwards actuality alien by Berkeley Law Assistant Robert Bartlett. On October 30, the day they acquaint the cardboard to SSRN, Kupor tweeted it to his 40,000 Twitter followers, calling it “fascinating research.” As others retweeted Kupor, Reddit users began discussing the cardboard on a appointment adherent to SPACs.
Discovering the cardboard through a articulation on Reddit, Wall Street Account anchorman Alexander Osipovich accomplished “it was one of the best things I’d anytime apprehend on SPACs,” he said in an email. On November 13, the Account arise “Investors Flock to SPACs, Area Risks Lurk and Track Records Are Poor,” giving “A Sober Look” its aboriginal boilerplate media attention.
Forbes anchorman Antoine Gara, who abstruse about the cardboard from Kupor’s tweet, was analogously impressed, acquainted via email that Ohlrogge and his co-authors “aggregated and analyzed absolutely what anybody watching the bazaar was attractive for.” Forbes’s story, “How SPACs Became Wall Street’s Money Tree,” ran on November 19. “Caution acerb brash with SPACs,” Elon Musk wrote, tweeting the Forbes allotment to his 50 actor followers.
Subsequent months saw a torrent of added media advantage in outlets including the New York Times, the Banking Times, Bloomberg, the New Yorker, Axios, Vox, Reuters, accessible radio’s Marketplace, and elsewhere. Klausner and Ohlrogge accept fielded emails and buzz calls from journalists in Brazil, China, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, and their cardboard is actuality translated for advertisement in a Chinese law journal. Editorials in the Banking Times and Bloomberg cited “A Sober Look” as they apprenticed absorption on SPACs. Several podcasts featured the piece, including programs produced by Goldman Sachs and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
As the aflush afterglow about SPACs began to fade, the cardinal of lawsuits adjoin SPACs and their admiral mounted, with allegations of bald acknowledgment and aperture of fiduciary duty. One complaint filed in federal commune cloister in Manhattan alike cited “A Sober Look.” Klausner says he brash several plaintiffs’ firms, and he and Ohlrogge gave presentations at two above law firms in New York. One, at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, drew about 150 of the firm’s lawyers.
“We’re consistently on the anchor for new perspectives for our attorneys to consider, and this cardboard provided altered insights,” says Cravath accomplice Jenny Hochenberg, who organized the program. It was, she says, one of the firm’s best abounding contemporary discussions, and “it generated actual active chat with our ally and associates.”
“A Sober Look” additionally appears to accept played a key role in educating policymakers. Ohlrogge presented the allegation to the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s Investor Advising Lath in March. “I anticipation your cardboard was great,” lath affiliate Sandra Peters, a banking analyst and arch arch of all-around banking advertisement action for the CFA Institute, told Ohlrogge. She added: “I anticipate your work…is absolutely what the bazaar needs to accept to accomplish abreast decisions about the [investment] return.”
Addressing a US House of Representatives subcommittee on May 26, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler cited the paper, acquainted that SPACs may be costlier than acceptable IPOs, with retail investors abode the burden. Gensler said he had asked SEC agents for recommendations on accessible rules or advice for the bureau to affair in this area. Additionally, US Senator John Kennedy alien legislation that would crave added acknowledgment for SPACs. “A Sober Look” was “very, actual accessible to me while I was researching the topic,” Natalia Díez Riggin, arch aldermanic abettor to Kennedy and agents administrator of the Economic Action Subcommittee, said in an email.
Amid the flurry of speaking invitations and columnist absorption for their cardboard in aboriginal 2021, Ohlrogge recalls, he batten to Klausner by buzz and said, “Someday, we’ll go aback to actuality irrelevant, and we’ll attending aback on this with nostalgia. But for now, it’s rather overwhelming.”
However, three months afterwards Ohlrogge’s April presentation at the NYU Law adroitness workshop, the absorption showed little assurance of absolution up. As of backward July, SSRN downloads of “A Sober Look” totaled added than 27,000, authoritative it the fourth best downloaded cardboard from the armpit over the antecedent 12 months. Abounding columnist accounts, meantime, began to altercate the achievability that the SPAC balloon had burst.
In summer 2020, Michael Klausner, Michael Ohlrogge, and Emily Ruan activate an assay of 47 contempo appropriate purpose accretion companies (SPACs). “It angry out that about aggregate bodies were adage about SPACs was partially or absolutely wrong,” Ohlrogge says.

In an April 2019 assessment allotment arise on CNN.com, Senator and then-presidential applicant Amy Klobuchar alleged for enactment of a federal charity advising board, affective the charity action out of the US Administering of Amends (DOJ). Klobuchar cited assignment by Rachel Barkow, Charles Seligson Assistant of Law, and her common co-author, Mark Osler, a assistant at the University of St. Thomas Law School in Minneapolis. Over the advance of 2019, a bisected dozen added Democratic presidential candidates accustomed the idea.
The US Constitution vests the admiral with ability to admission clemency—which includes pardons and book commutations—to bodies bedevilled of federal crimes. Barkow, who is adroitness administrator of the Law School’s Peter L. Zimroth Center on the Administering of Bent Law, says she began to appetite the use of that ability to abode the boundless cardinal of bodies in federal prisons in 2008, while confined on the Bent Amends Action Team for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. In 2009, she arise “The Backroom of Forgiveness: Reconceptualizing Clemency,” focused primarily on states, area governors additionally accept charity power. The commodity advocated for the conception of charity boards, in allotment to insulate governors from the about emotionally answerable backroom about charity grants.
In three consecutive law assay articles, Barkow fabricated the case for reinvigorating presidential charity as a apparatus of bent amends reform, and for removing it from DOJ. “The accepted ambiance of all-embracing federal bent laws and advancing charging by federal prosecutors has produced a bent amends arrangement of aberrant admeasurement and scope,” she wrote in the New York University Law Assay in 2015. Clemency, she said, “is a key apparatus for acclamation poor administering decisions and injustices in this system.” But DOJ, in her view, is inherently conflicted. “Putting charity aural the aforementioned portfolio as the being who’s in allegation of all bent prosecutions doesn’t actualize an ideal altitude for accepting that being be actual pro-clemency,” Barkow said on the Amends in America podcast.
New York Times editorials in 2014 and 2019—both pointing to Barkow’s and Osler’s work—called for conception of a charity bureau absolute of DOJ. In March 2020, Barkow told a House subcommittee that allurement an bureau whose capital mission is law administering “to casting perspectives and anticipate of book alteration and accretion is no baby request.” And, afterward the 2020 election, there seemed to be a absolute achievability the admission Biden administering would abolish charity from DOJ’s purview. One of the candidates especially acknowledging the footfall was Kamala Harris, the new carnality president; it was additionally allotment of the 2020 Democratic Party platform.
As abundant as it has shaped accessible debate, Barkow’s appropriate ameliorate has not yet been translated into policy. In May, the New York Times arise that the Biden administering was acceptable to leave the charity action central DOJ.
Barkow bound took to Twitter. “I appetite to highlight some of the things in this commodity that are awkward to me because I abhorrence this is a bad assurance of area the administering is headed on charity and bent amends added generally,” she wrote, critiquing the Biden team’s access in a 27-tweet cilia for her 21,000 followers. Josh Gerstein, a arch acknowledged diplomacy contributor for Politico, afresh accent Barkow’s annotation for his 80,000 Twitter followers, noting, “If the NYT adventure was declared to assure advocates that Biden and his aides ‘get it’ on pardons, it seems to accept failed.”
And Barkow is not giving up the fight. A above abettor on the US Sentencing Commission, she testified in June afore a House subcommittee on sentencing ameliorate and slipped in a animadversion about clemency. In a July New York Times op-ed, she and Osler exhorted the Biden administering not to backtrack on allusive reform.
“Mark and I accept added bodies in our bend now arguing that demography DOJ out of its gatekeeping role on federal charity is the appropriate affair to do, and I abide hopeful that eventually this will be fixed,” Barkow said in an email. “There are aloof too abounding bodies confined appropriate now confined boundless sentences, and I won’t accord up aggravating to get them justice.”
In 2018, Assistant of Clinical Law Deborah Archer and her Civilian Rights Clinic acceptance started to appoint with residents, academics, association groups, and government agencies because what to do with an crumbling artery artery bypass in Syracuse, New York. Congenital in the 1960s, it had cut through and destroyed a once-vibrant Black neighborhood. The clinic’s assignment aggressive Archer to broadcast an commodity on ancestral disinterestedness and artery construction; her account from that allotment would echo through the accomplished levels of the admission Biden administering as basement became a top federal priority.
“White Men’s Roads Through Black Men’s Homes’: Advancing Ancestral Disinterestedness Through Artery Reconstruction,” arise aftermost abatement in the Vanderbilt Law Review, is the aboriginal allotment of acknowledged scholarship to action an all-embracing attending at ancestral disinterestedness in avant-garde artery redevelopment. The commodity explores how the massive basement bang prompted by the Federal-Aid Artery Act of 1956 disproportionately displaced Black communities. Predominantly Black areas were about collapsed in the name of “slum clearance,” or new highways served as concrete barriers amid Black and white neighborhoods.
Archer’s commodity discusses the blemish of accepted civilian rights laws and analytic frameworks in acclamation ancestral bigotry in development projects. She urges states and localities to advance ancestral disinterestedness appulse studies (REISs)—already acclimated in contexts such as bent acknowledged ameliorate and accessible transportation—before basic artery redevelopment projects. Stressing ecology and accountability, Archer advocates for a “deeply collaborative” REIS action in which bounded stakeholders advice appraise the abounding appulse of a activity on the community.
The commodity has acquired absorption far above what Archer anticipated. “I absolutely anticipation it wasn’t activity to go anywhere,” she admits, accustomed the blockage of basement initiatives during the Trump administering and the appulse of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But afresh Joe Biden, whose attack promises had included massive basement investment, won the 2020 election. In December 2020, afterwards Pete Buttigieg arise his choice as secretary of busline on Twitter, bodies tweeted aback at Buttigieg that he should apprehend Archer’s article. A above Archer aide from the NAACP Acknowledged Defense and Educational Fund who had additionally formed in the Administering of Busline asked Archer for copies to allotment central the department. In a meeting, Buttigieg aloft credibility from Archer’s commodity with her above accessory and adumbrated that he and his agents would appoint on those issues, Archer says. She addendum that she saw Buttigieg’s accessible accent alpha to about-face to reflect added acquaintance of ancestral disinterestedness matters.
Archer letters that her assay additionally prompted Secretary of Activity Jennifer Granholm’s arch of staff, Tarak Shah, to booty a beginning attending at how the Administering of Activity was cerebration about REISs accompanying to activity infrastructure. In April, a US commune cloister adjudicator in the Central Commune of California, acclimation the burghal and canton of Los Angeles to booty abundant accomplishments to abode homelessness, quoted Archer on busline basement and chase alert in his opinion. Amid the account outlets to awning Archer’s account are the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR’s Morning Edition, and the PBS NewsHour.
Archer charcoal according genitalia optimistic and astute about US basement policy. The Biden administration’s basement plan “potentially represents a celebrated beforehand in these communities that accept been commonly abandoned and underfunded,” she says.
“But I anticipate the claiming is that this chat and a account of ambition for it to aftereffect in ancestral disinterestedness is absolutely not enough,” Archer says. “We accept to pay abutting absorption to how and area the allotment is activity to be used—whether any of it is activity to be acclimated to aboriginal actualize adequation and equity, afore we move all of us forward.”
Whatever one’s political persuasion, best Americans can accede that Donald Trump casting abreast abounding long-accepted norms of the US presidency. That’s why, aback Bob Bauer, above White House admonition in the Barack Obama administration, and Jack Goldsmith, who headed the Appointment of Acknowledged Admonition in the George W. Bush administration, began discussing a abeyant book in bounce 2019 on the history of the White House counsel’s office, the activity anon acquired into article altered entirely.
In Afterwards Trump: Reconstructing the Presidency, Bauer, assistant of convenance and acclaimed academic in abode at NYU Law, and Goldsmith, a assistant at Harvard Law School, altercate for ample ameliorate and advance added than 50 specific changes to the laws, regulations, and norms that administer the presidency. The charge for such reforms did not arise with the Trump administration, Bauer says. Prior administrations, both Democratic and Republican, avant-garde all-embracing claims of controlling authority, Bauer notes. The Watergate era prompted a decades-long agitation about the ability of the “imperial presidency.”
The book’s proposals focus on adopted accompaniment influence, banking conflicts of interest, the acknowledgment of tax returns, presidential pardons, the ability of the Amends Department, appropriate admonition investigations, the anatomy of the Appointment of White House Counsel, war admiral and nuclear weapons, and vacancies in the controlling branch, amid added issues. An addendum contains abstract argument for some proposed reforms. The co-authors address that “a absolute assay of the abounding fissures in the anatomy of the presidency” is a alpine order, but they are about absorbed on framing the debate.
Bauer, who served as a arch adviser for the 2020 Biden attack and co-led the campaign’s acknowledged operation, absolutely has the new administration’s ear. He and Goldsmith additionally command ample account on both abandon of the aisle. Aback Afterwards Trump—the countdown book advertisement of the affecting Lawfare blog—was arise in September 2020, assembly of Congress anon accomplished out. Bauer and Goldsmith discussed their proposals with both Republicans and Democrats, and some of their reforms accompanying to the absolution ability arise in at atomic one bill arise out of the House Judiciary Committee. The two testified in March afore the House Adopted Diplomacy Lath about proposed amendments to the War Admiral Resolution to acquiesce the accomplishment of aldermanic war powers. They argued in accurate for revisions to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) of 2001 anesthetized in the deathwatch of 9/11, and for the abolition of the 2002 AUMF that accustomed the aggression of Iraq.
After Trump’s account accept been covered by the New York Times, the Atlantic, NPR’s Beginning Air, the Guardian, the Los Angeles Assay of Books, Vox, and Slate’s podcast Amicus with Dahlia Lithwick. Bauer and Goldsmith accept additionally arise op-eds in the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Bauer says that, the book’s appellation notwithstanding, it is brash to be “a advanced calendar for reform, and not alone a analytical assay of the abuses of the Trump years…. There is Republican abutment for chunks of what we’re talking about here. It consistently helps the discussions aback Republicans are abiding that the purpose is not alone to action afresh about Trump. They admit Trump as having, in his presidency…exposed absolute weaknesses in the constraints on the presidency, but if it’s an institutional band of analysis, afresh that tends to accompany added Republicans into the conversation. So far we’ve been actual blessed to see that, and we anticipate that’s the base for article advantageous to be done here.”
