Back in June of 2024, in connection with the legislative debate in Delaware over the approval of § 122(18) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL § 122(18)), I authored a blog post in which I raised concerns about whether there was adequate understanding of the public policy impacts of the proposal to adopt DGCL § 122(18).  I then wrote:

I have one large and important question as Senate Bill 313 continues to move through the Delaware legislative process: do members of the Delaware General Assembly voting on this bill fully understand the large shift in public policy represented by the introduction of DGCL § 122(18)?  If so, then they act on an informed basis and live with the consequences, as they do with any legislation they pass that is signed into law.  If not, we all must work harder to enable that understanding.

Later that month, I authored and published a second blog post that cross-referenced the earlier blog post and offered several policy-related values relevant to the proposal.

Two-and-a-half weeks ago, I found myself affected by similar concerns about the need for serious, thoughtful policy engagement in Delaware.  The occasion was the Gala Celebration…

 Ave Maria School of Law seeks applicants for an entry-level tenure-track position to begin in the 2026-2027 academic year.  In particular, we seek faculty teaching in the 1L areas of Contracts and Property, which at Ave Maria involve significant student contact. Candidates may also be requested to teach a section of business law courses such as Business Organizations or Commercial Law from time to time. Applicants must have a Juris Doctorate or equivalent degree and a strong academic record.  Responsibilities will include teaching, scholarship, and service to the Law School and community.

Ave Maria offers students a distinctive legal education marked by the integration of the Catholic faith and the law. Students are trained to reflect critically on the law and to understand that all areas of legal practice serve the common good. The Law School emphasizes the importance of faith and community among its faculty, staff, and students, and desires applicants attracted by, and supportive of its mission. The Law School community is small but close-knit and seeks faculty members who will participate in, and contribute to, its continued growth.

Ave Maria School of Law recognizes the inherent value and dignity of all members of the human family. The…

I recently had the privilege of jotting on an insightful article written by friend-of-the-BLPB Kish Parella (Kishanthi Parella, Corporate Governance & International Law, 76 Ala. L. Rev. 417 (2024)). You can find the jot here. Read it for a summary of the article’s thesis and impact. But my bottom line is this:

Parella’s work is compelling at the current moment given U.S. and global uncertainties regarding judicial and governmental enforcement. In addition to the earlier mentioned tariff wars, armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in Gaza represent potentially large destabilizing forces in international political and economic relations that may impact the existence or effectiveness of traditional adjudicative and regulatory enforcement. Parella’s work suggests that stakeholder governance may provide a pragmatic and valuable way forward to better ensure corporate compliance with international law and, as a result, transnational corporate financial and operational sustainability.

It is a good read, full of interesting and consequential observations relevant to business associations law and international law (which is an intersection that Kish’s work often explores).

The Institute for Law & Economics (ILE) at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School is pleased to announce its Fourth Annual Junior Faculty Business & Financial Law Workshop. The Workshop will be held in person on January 23, 2026 at or near Penn Carey Law.  

The Workshop supports and recognizes the work of pre-tenured scholars in tenure-track positions in the business and financial fields, including corporations, securities, finance, accounting, banking, bankruptcy, tax, and general business law, while promoting interactions with such scholars, selected tenured faculty, and practitioners.

The Workshop audience will include invited pre-tenured scholars, faculty from Penn Carey Law, The Wharton School, and other institutions, practitioners…

It was great to see many of you last week in Los Angeles for the National Business Law Scholars conference at UCLA Law. It was, as always, a positive whirlwind of activity. The array of panels and topics was, as usual impressive. The full agenda can be found here. Michael Dorff and his team did an amazing job of welcoming (and feeding!) us throughout the two days of sessions. As a former host of the conference, I know how tough that can be. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.

I was fortunate to be able to both participate in the opening plenary on the recent changes to Delaware corporate law and also present some of my research and ideas on ESG and corporate compliance.

In the former, I invoked Larry Hammermesh’s amazingly insightful 2006 article in the Columbia Law Review. If you haven’t ever–or recently–read it and are researching or writing about Delaware lawmaking, it is a “must read.” As I noted in the plenary session at the conference, Tennessee attempts to emulate the key parts of the process Larry describes as and when it can. In addition to sharing some of my own views about…
