Cases and Materials on Corporations
Author: John C. Coffee
Publisher: Aspen Publishing
ISBN: 1543847277
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1429
Book Description
Renowned for its richness, depth, and authorship, Cases and Materials on Corporations offers broad coverage of both public and closely held corporations. A powerful introductory chapter sets out the defining characteristics of a corporation. A thematic framework frames corporate law in terms of the corporation’s responsibilities to its employees, its investors, and society. New to the Ninth Edition: The introductory Chapter recognizes that issues of race and systemic discrimination have dominated recent headlines and political discourse. This has re-focused attention on the long-standing debate between proponents of the dominant shareholders primacy model of corporate governance and proponents of a more stakeholder-oriented model. Without taking sides on this issue, this Chapter notes that this debate has continued throughout American legal history, and it focuses on recent efforts by some states and Nasdaq to require greater diversity (both in terms of race and gender) on corporate boards. Current data is provided. In addition, this Chapter adds a new section to introduce the “public benefit corporation,” a new corporate form that is a hybrid of a profit-making corporation and a not-for-profit entity now recognized by a majority of the states. New material on the emerging line of good faith cases in the context of director oversight where a corporation is subject to “mission critical” regulation. This new line of cases opens up potential avenues to assign monetary liability to directors for failure to manage corporate risks. New Supreme Court decisions (including Lorenzo and Omnicare) are assessed, and the continuing struggle to define insider trading is reviewed. The chapter on shareholder voting and proxy gives special attention to recent efforts by activist hedge funds to influence and constrain corporate management. The revised chapter on takeovers takes up the legal rules governing friendly and unfriendly acquisitions. The chapter tracks the unique experience of Delaware law over this period: an ongoing and openly—but respectful–disagreement between the Delaware Chancery Court and the Delaware Supreme Court about the allocation of authority between the board of directors and shareholders. The chapter also examines the new texture of the takeover market where activists play a central role. Professors and students will benefit from: Richness and depth: A range of thoroughly developed topics allows instructors to delve into topics with as much depth as they wish. The text is strong in material on both public and closely held corporations. Traditional casebook pedagogy: Text notes, statutory material, excerpted commentary, problems, questions, and edited cases. Strong introductory chapter: Sets out the defining characteristics of a corporation: limited liability, perpetual existence, free transferability, and centralized management. Thematic framework: Examines corporate law in the context of the corporation’s responsibilities to its own constituents and investors, as well as to society.

Book Description
Who are we? Where do we come from? Is there other life in the Universe? Is there a God? What happens after we die? Is time travel real? In 2006, Kev Pearson discovered a quarter mint stamped in the year 2025. His search for the origin of this quarter led him to those answers, and more. What if you could have those answers, too? Would you want to know? Are you ready to know? The year is 2006. Kev Pearson at the lowest point of his life when he accidentally discovers a quarter with the mint stamp of 2025. He set out on a mission to determine the authenticity of this coin by taking it to David DeMinte, a rare coin dealer and a friend. David declares it a fake, though his actions say differently after Kev refuses to sell him the coin. Kev now knows he's onto something more significant than his problems. He hears Dave make a covert phone call as he's leaving Dave's shop. Later that afternoon, Kev receives a message in the form of a dream. Detective Connor MacKenzie, the head of an organization that calls itself the FCA, explains that Kev has stumbled across an anomaly out of time. They’re in the process of sending someone to retrieve it. Connor also explains that they’re the ‘good guys.’ And where there are good guys, there are also ‘bad guys.’ They, too, are coming. Is Kev's discovery indeed a coin out of time? He'll come to know the answers to all of his questions, including answers to questions no one dares ask.
