GW Law Government Procurement Law Program

Excited to become a published author with my Note, Uplifting State and Local Procurement Into the Modern World: How the Model Procurement Code's Next Revision Could Adopt the New York Department of Finance's Cybersecurity Principles For Its Own Standards, being just released in the 54:1 Issues of the Public Contract Law Journal. Thanks to the editorial staff and the GW Law Government Procurement Law Program for helping polish this into something I'm proud to have my name attached to. Thanks again to my Note's Adjunct Collin Swan and Notes Editor Carmen Palumbo for working with me in actually developing this piece and for all their feedback throughout the writing process. Lastly, special thanks to Christopher Yukins for getting me interested in this subject area in the first place. When his first assignment to me as a research assistant was to scour state laws for cybersecurity standards in procurement, I had no idea I'd be throwing myself into a field that now dominates my academic career.

I am so excited to share that my Note—States as Laboratories of Democracy: Implementing Government Contracting Solutions for the Child Welfare Insurance Crisis—was recently published in the 54:1 Issue of the Public Contract Law Journal. A huge thanks to the entire editorial staff of PCLJ and the GW Law Government Procurement Law Program for selecting this piece for publication and helping to make it what it is today. I'm honored to have the chance to highlight this important issue affecting our nation's most vulnerable population.

As Fall ‘24 finals come to a close, I wanted to share another lighthearted example of how I’ve had fun embracing the world of Government Procurement at GW Law. Thank you, ASI Education, for your fun FAR videos; to celebrate the end of finals, I ventured to the stacks and enjoyed tracking down the newest addition to our Government Contracts collection, My First FAR. The Law Library has resources for readers of all ages. #LetsGoFAR GW Law Government Procurement Law Program

SO PROUD OF OUR The George Washington University Law School students ... and it's great to see a number of our GW Law Government Procurement Law Program being recognized with endowed scholarship support.

In October, the GW Law Government Procurement Law Program was honored to host the International Forum on Business Ethical Conduct (IFBEC) for the Aerospace and Defence Industry Annual Conference at the law school. It was wonderful to welcome dozens of international ethics and compliance professionals from the world's top defense and aerospace companies to the law school. The discussions were interesting and it was great for our students to learn about their fascinating work. Thanks to IFBEC (and, in particular, Bry Spinella, Nadia Kader, and Steven Pegg) for your hard work organizing the conference and for the lovely plaque. It has been a privilege to work with you and your IFBEC colleagues. Thank you to Kristina Zaslavskaya for coordinating the student volunteers. And thank you to Dayna Bowen Matthew, JD, PhD and Steve Schooner for welcoming attendees and providing introductory comments. Finally, a big thank you for including the launch of the Routledge Handbook of Public Procurement Corruption as part of the agenda (co-edited with my good friend, Sope Williams).
