MR. TODD WEILER: Welcome back, everybody. So, are we live there, Dave? Great. So welcome back. I hope you all had a great lunch. I’ve misplaced my iPhone, which is too bad because I was going to go through Freddie’s entire Washburn bio and make fun of parts of it. Oh, good, he found my phone, looks like I do that now. So, because Freddie is at Washburn, by the way, I’ll start by saying something very true. He’s the nicest and smartest person in our business. So, but both completely, he’s a joy to be around. He’s also the Robert... did you ever meet Dole?
MR. FRÉDÉRIC SOURGENS: In a corridor somewhere?
MR. TODD WEILER: Okay, good. So, because he’s the Robert J. Dole Distinguished Professor of Law. Are any of them ever not distinguished?
MR. FRÉDÉRIC SOURGENS: Well, they could be a chair.
MR. TODD WEILER: Would you be a Barker lounger or a chair? We could do the whole thing right now. I agree. I’ll use that joke sometimes and people are like what? They don’t know what it is. And then you know, it doesn’t work. So, there’s all these things it says that he does, but I didn’t know you’re also a Director of the Oil and Gas Center. So that’s why you were babbling about pipelines earlier. That makes sense now. I’m going to skip past all that stuff. You’re running investmentclaims.com? Allegedly. I used to do that. Yeah, he does that now. That’s great. You did it too. So, this is cool. This is the important part. Good Faith in Transnational Law, a Pluralist Account. That’s his dissertation, which is now a book and of course, properly published by Brill. Yeah, I mean, every other book, that’s non dissertation, it has to be with Juris, obviously, but this was with Brill. Yep. So, and that one actually I’m looking forward to because apparently has got all the greatest hits of all the greatest thinkers in it. And the best part is he sent it to me a month ago and I haven’t read it yet. So that means I don’t have to pay for it. So yeah, he’s great. Yeah. Let’s see what else we got here. So oh, and of course with I think both Kabir and Ian, Evidence in International Investment Arbitration, you’re due for another issue with that pretty soon.
