Almost 51 years ago, on September 13, 1970, Milton Friedman published an essay in The New York Times with a title that captured his thesis that “The Social Responsibility Of Business Is to Increase Its Profits.”  This shareholder value maximization metric for evaluating the legal and financial fiduciary duties of corporate officers has served as the dominant paradigm for defining the purpose of the corporation both before and certainly for the fifty years after publication of Friedman’s influential essay.  Yet, on August 19, 2019 – now nearly two years ago – the powerful Business Roundtable attempted to effect a dramatic shift away from the purpose of the corporation being defined by the single metric of shareholder wealth maximization.  It released what it called a “new Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation signed by 181 CEOs who commit to lead their companies for the benefit of all stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers, communities and shareholders.”  This move was received with both applause and condemnation, each…

For the past few years, the National Business Law Scholars Conference has sponsored a program for prospective business law professors.  Typically, this session is scheduled as part of the two-day annual conference, which is held in June of each year.  In 2020 and 2021, the annual conference had to move online.  In an effort to avoid Zoom fatigue, we have hosted the program virtually on a separate day last year and this year.

This year’s installment of our “market entry” panel and the accompanying keynote is being held next week–on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 11.  The panel discussion, featuring senior and junior business law scholar-teachers, will be moderated by Toledo Law’s Eric Chaffee and take place from 2:30 pm to 3:45 pm.  The keynote presentation will be offered by UC Davis Law’s Afra Afsharipour and is expected to start at 4:00 pm with a Q&A session that lasts until 5:00 pm.  (All times are Eastern Time.)

To participate, please contact Eric Chaffee or me for a link to the Zoom session.
