Law at the End of the Day

Larry Catá Backer's comments on current issues in transnational law and policy. These essays focus on the constitution of regulatory communities (political, economic, and religious) as they manage their constituencies and the conflicts between them. The context is globalization. This is an academic field-free zone: expect to travel "without documents" through the sometimes strongly guarded boundaries of international relations, constitutional, international, comparative, and corporate law.

Informational Program: "Student Loans: How to Pay Off Your Student Debt"

Pix credit here

I am delighted to pass along this announcement from my former student and colleague James Korman.

On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, from 4:00-5:00 PM ET, I am co-hosting an engaging webinar titled "Student Loans: How to Pay Off Your Student Debt." This session is designed specifically for students, faculty, staff, and administrators alike that are navigating the critical challenge of student loan management.

Why This Webinar Matters
Student debt affects nearly 43 million Americans, yet many individuals receive limited guidance on repayment strategies. This webinar fills that gap by providing actionable, practical guidance on understanding, prioritizing, and accelerating student loan repayment.

What We'll Cover
Understanding different student loan types and repayment options
Proven strategies for prioritizing and accelerating repayment
Common pitfalls that derail progress—and how to avoid them
Balancing student loan repayment with other financial goals

About this Site:

At the end of the day, law?

. . . . Emperors and kings

Are but obeyed in their several provinces,

Nor can they raise the wind or rend the clouds;

But his domain that exceeds in this

Stretcheth as far as doth the mind of man.

A sound magician is a mighty god.

* * *

Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,

And burned is Apollo's laurel bough,

That sometimes grew within this learned man.

Faustus is gone; regard his hellish fall,

Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise

Only to wonder at unlawful things,

Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits

To practise more than heavenly power permits.

Christopher Marlowe, "Dr. Faustus" (before 1593)
