In this paper, I address the question of the legal regulation of corporate capital. This is a topic that cuts across a number of distinct areas of law, and that displays significant differences between the civil law used in Europe and elsewhere and the U.S. common law system.

As Priest and Klein observe, this conflict between the predictions of the model and the empirical literature may be attributable to violations in the data of the assumptions behind the simple model. Based on data from 3,529 cases, we find that "multimodal" …
