Ultra Vires Lives! A Stakeholder Analysis Of Corporate Illegality (With Notes On How Corporate Law Could Reinforce International Law Norms), Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

This paper argues that a remaining vestige of the ultra vires doctrine sets off illegal activities as "beyond the power" of corporations. Though largely unnoticed and unexamined until now, this part of the doctrine has been retained because none of the important corporate stakeholders has an interest in authorizing the corporation and its managers to commit illegal acts. From an ex ante perspective, the principal stakeholders in the corporate contract would want the corporation and its management to forego illegalities as a way to increase the value of the firm. Any of the stakeholders would be a potential victim of …

Rights Of Inequality: Rawlsian Justice, Equal Opportunity, And The Status Of The Family, Justin Schwartz

Justin Schwartz

Is the family subject to principles of justice? In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls includes the (monogamous) family along with the market and the government as among the "basic institutions of society" to which principles of justice apply. Justice, he famously insists, is primary in politics as truth is in science: the only excuse for tolerating injustice is that no lesser injustice is possible. The point of the present paper is that Rawls doesn't actually mean this. When it comes to the family, and in particular its impact on fair equal opportunity (the first part of the the Difference …

Lo Público Y Lo Privado En El Derecho, Enrique Barros Bourie

Enrique Barros Bourie

El ensayo asume que el derecho es público en un sentido elemental: es una institución que ordena la convivencia; se asienta en la justicia, la más pública de las virtudes; y su eficacia reside en una instancia judicial que resuelve los conflictos e invoca el uso legítimo de la fuerza. Más allá de esa publicidad básica, el derecho muestra diversas dimensiones de lo público y lo privado en la sociedad contemporánea. Ante todo, lo público aparece como sinónimo de lo estatal en la lógica normativa que subyace a las regulaciones, que se expresan en actos de voluntad política y cuyo …

From Metaphor To Reality In Corporate Law, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

This essay is in response to a commentary by Professor David Millon, who ably argues in the same journal that a dependence on metaphor drives much of the debate within corporate law jurisprudence and corporate law scholarship. This essay joins Millon in his criticism.

For decades, scholars have used metaphors -- corporation as person, corporation as creature of the state, corporation as property, corporation as contract, corporation as community, to name the most prominent -- as justifications for the imposition of, or freedom from, legal and ethical requirements. The metaphors are often taken as self-evident. The legal and ethical arguments …
