More than a decade after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the Gulf Research Program convened a diverse group of 60 experts in a virtual event to inform its efforts to enhance resilience to future offshore oil disasters in the Gulf of Mexico region. The event, Offshore Situation Room, took place over three half-days during June 15-17, 2021, and had four main objectives: 1) develop a concise, prioritized list of questions that need to be addressed to support successful prevention, response, and recovery that would minimize the impacts of an offshore oil disaster; 2) provide a collaborative atmosphere where participants can share ideas, capabilities, and information, and build a community dedicated to the successful prevention of, response to, and recovery from an offshore oil spill disaster; 3) explore capabilities for and impediments to prevention, response, recovery, and understanding impacts of an offshore oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico; and 4) highlight how changes in policy, response, resilience, and restoration efforts may affect outcomes of a major offshore incident. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the event.

Born to a Jewish immigrant shopkeeper in a small Alabama town, Morris Ernst used aggressive self-promotion and exaggeration—what he called “exhibitionism”—to transcend his insecurities and his part-time legal training to become one of America’s most famous lawyers. During the first half of the twentieth century, Ernst championed free speech, sexual education, birth control, and reproductive health, and his landmark defense of James Joyce’s Ulysses in 1933 cemented Ernst’s reputation as the top progressive attorney of the era. To promote himself, Ernst befriended newspaper writers, authors, actors, politicians, and practically anyone whose work carried some weight in popular culture. But his hunger for respect and recognition, together with his need for excitement, led Ernst to lavish praise on J. Edgar Hoover and to publicly defend—and profit from—a Dominican dictator. In the process, Ernst undermined his own credibility and largely fell out of favor with the public. By examining key moments of his life and career, The Legal Exhibitionist: Morris Ernst, Jewish Identity, and the Modern Celebrity Lawyer describes how Ernst’s exhibitionism led to his rise and fall and suggests how his strategy of exaggeration anticipated the emergence of today’s celebrity lawyers.
