Friend of the BLPB Geeta Kohli (formerly Tewari) at Widener Law Delaware recently launched a newsletter on Substack called Defining Money that may be of interest to business law profs and their students (as well as others). She circulated a message about the newsletter through the AALS Section on Business Associations listserv earlier this week–very timely as we all start to prepare for fall classes. I have checked the newsletter out. Geeta covers a bunch of great topics (some traditional in the business law space and some nontraditional but truly helpful–including for family businesses and the divorce and trust/estate law areas that intersect with family business practice) informed by her business law background and personal experience. Here is what she personally noted in the listserv message.

After the semester starts, I’ll be focusing more on contract and business related terms.

This project grew out of my desire to make financial concepts more accessible, particularly for students navigating…

This year’s symposium, titled Navigating the Relationship Between the Administrative State and Emerging Technology, will focus on the evolving regulatory frameworks around emerging technologies like digital assets and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies are rapidly transforming the way individuals and businesses engage in commerce, interact socially, and innovate. These advancements, however, raise profound questions about the applicability of existing regulatory structures. The symposium will bring together leading experts to discuss how the administrative state can balance the protection of innovation with the mitigation of risks associated with these technologies, while ensuring that laws evolve to meet the challenges of the future.

We are thrilled to welcome Michele Korver, Head of Regulatory & Operating Partner at a16z crypto, to deliver the opening keynote. Michele’s wealth of experience in both the public and private sectors will provide invaluable insights into the state of digital asset regulation.
