Delaware uncorporate law evolves an escape from Dodd-Frank

It’s been interesting to watch uncorporations (particularly LLCs and limited partnerships) evolve over the last twenty years or so.  Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this evolution is what’s been happening in Delaware regarding contracting over fiduciary duties.  This is particularly intriguing because it concerns a key area of difference between corporations and uncorporations — ...

Does the Voluntary Industry “Agreement” to Ban Phosphates in Dishwasher Detergents Violate Section 1?

Apparently, the detergent industry has entered into what has been described as a “voluntary agreement” to reduce the use of phosphates in detergents (HT: Ted Frank).  A press release from Clean Water Action describes the agreement as follows: On July 1, 2010 a voluntary ban on phosphates in dishwasher detergents will be implemented by many ...

The Rahm problem

This is a little off-topic, but it’s about Chicago, my home town.  I haven’t lived there for 35 years, but I have family there, favorite restaurants, and go there a lot.  I am currently away on government service (teaching at a state university).  But I couldn’t vote or run for office there, even if I ...

Another path to growth: fix SOX

Yesterday I noted, anticipating the President’s call tonight for spending to encourage US growth and competitiveness, that “a better way to increase U.S. competitiveness is by changing the law rather than spending money.”  One law to consider is Sarbanes-Oxley.  In our book, The Sarbanes-Oxley Debacle, Butler and I discuss, among other things, SOX’s effect on ...

Intel Case the Model for the FTC?

More on the First Amendment and proxy access

The ramifications of the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United promise to play out for quite awhile, particularly including its effect on corporate governance. For example, will corporate decision-making that produces corporate speech be exempt from the First Amendment?  And how does the First Amendment apply to securities law limitations on what corporations can say ...

The Relevance of ELS Revisited

Brian Leiter’s recent post, Empirical Legal Studies, Redux, summarizes the blog debate over the growth of empirical legal studies and its implications for legal scholarship.   There is not much need to go through history here, but Professor Leiter’s recent post gets pretty quickly to the point, i.e. Professor Eisenberg’s response to Leiter’s would be-claim that ...
