Advanced Problems in Corporate Law Seminar

3 credits · Law School

This seminar will examine a series of advanced corporate law issues that reach beyond the scope of the basic Corporation’s course. Beginning with the theory behind the production of corporate law, the course will study a series of important topics including boards of directors, shareholder litigation, shareholder voting, institutional investor activism and the market for corporate control. The course readings will be taken from Roberta Romano’s, Foundations of Corporate Law (2nd edition) with a focus on a set of discussion problems from that text as well. In addition, several distinguished speakers will provide their views on key issues and case studies may be discussed in class. Prerequisite: Corporations or Corporations and Business Entities. Enrollment limited. [3]
