Faculty Scholarship, Achievements and Activities

A group of AUWCL scholars is leading the discussion in this new phase of finance. For example, the faculty has recently produced two books in the digital assets space: Hilary Allen's "Driverless Finance: Fintech's Impact on Financial Stability (Oxford)" and Jerry Comizio's "Virtual Currency Law: The Emerging Legal and Regulatory Framework (Aspen). " The views of both colleagues are being sought in the most prominent forums.

In addition to her testimony before Congress, Professor Allen has appeared at the Aspen Institute, Bank of England, Brookings, a CFTC roundtable, FSOC, and the IMF. Her opinions appear in the Financial Times, New York Times, and NPR. Professor Comizio has appeared at the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies, Paris Arbitration Week, and SCACPA Fall Fest. His opinions have been featured in Bloomberg Law, Katie Couric Media, Fortune Magazine and the American Banker. Furthermore, Jerry Comizio teaches on of the first virtual currency law courses in the country.  Vibrant student organizations such as the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Society gathers law, graduate and other AU students interested in digital assets, blockchain and other fintech issues.

[at the end or on the side, we should list faculty and links for those involved in the digital asset law area, including Professors Allen, Anderson, Hughes, Effross and me; let’s discuss including Professors Corn and Teplinsky from the Tech, Law  and Security program-they are not in the BLP, but have done work and events on crypto national security issues so maybe we also list them under their program heading].
