“SSRN provides free, open access to legal scholarship, allowing ideas to reach media, policymakers, and the public. It’s rare for an academic work to have that kind of immediate impact: where people want to read, discuss, and engage with your ideas…I’m very grateful for SSRN because it helped get our paper out into the world. In law, posting drafts on SSRN is common, and it’s especially important because our paper was even cited by the Supreme Court’s dissent in Dobbs, when it was still a draft. Without SSRN, it wouldn’t have been accessible at that stage”
