The American Corporation In The Twenty-First Century: Future Forms Of Structure And Governance, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
The American Corporation In The Twenty-First Century: Future Forms Of Structure And Governance, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
Law Faculty Publications
This article focuses on corporate governance issues as they relate to the new technological developments and the issue of leapfrogging. I examine various theories about the new technologies and the changes in corporate governance that they may necessitate. I then assess and critique these theories in light of historical and other data. I suggest that our very concept of the corporation will be transformed by the Information Age. I also offer my own view as to the optimal forms of corporate governance that can equip American corporations with sufficient tools to win the accelerating competition anticipated for the next century. …
Asset Securitization And Corporate Risk Allocation, Christopher W. Frost
Asset Securitization And Corporate Risk Allocation, Christopher W. Frost
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Asset securitization is a financial innovation in which corporations sell financial assets to a specially formed entity that in turn taps financial markets for the purchase price. The device provides firms an alternative to raising capital through traditional debt and equity markets. Practitioners of the approach tout securitization as a means through which a firm can lower its overall cost of capital by limiting the risk facing investors in the securitized assets. Commentators have described asset securitization as "one of the most important financing vehicles in the United States." Interest in the device is increasing dramatically as more companies see …

Is Chapter 11 Too Favorable To Debtors? Evidence From Abroad, Theodore Eisenberg, Stefan Sundgren
Is Chapter 11 Too Favorable To Debtors? Evidence From Abroad, Theodore Eisenberg, Stefan Sundgren
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Chapter 11 is widely believed to be among the industrialized world's most debtor-oriented reorganization laws. Critics assert that Chapter 11 is too easily available and that it allows debtors too much control by, inter alia, not requiring appointment of a trustee. One criticism of Chapter 11, low returns to unsecured creditors, resonates with an important theme of this Symposium, the Bebchuk-Fried proposal to reduce secured creditor priority in insolvency proceedings. The Chapter 11 criticisms and the Bebchuk-Fried proposal raise the question whether less easy access to Chapter 11, reduced debtor control, diminished secured creditor priority, or other changes could reduce …
The Definition Of Voting Stock And The Computation Of Voting Power Under Sections 368(C) And 1504(A): Recent Developments And Tax Lore, Stuart G. Lazar
The Definition Of Voting Stock And The Computation Of Voting Power Under Sections 368(C) And 1504(A): Recent Developments And Tax Lore, Stuart G. Lazar
Journal Articles
Although the concepts of "voting stock" and "voting power" are pervasive throughout the Code, until recently, courts, commentators and the Service have devoted minimal energy to demystifying the confusion surrounding the definition of voting stock and even less to expanding upon the methodology of computing voting power. Recent developments, however, may prompt practitioners to take a second look at these terms. While a 1995 decision by the Tax Court adds little to the existing body of authority with respect to the determination of the owner of voting stock, the Service's analysis of the voting power requirement in a 1994 private …

The Proper Role Of The Estate And Gift Taxation Of Closely Held Businesses, Eric D. Chason, Robert T. Danforth
The Proper Role Of The Estate And Gift Taxation Of Closely Held Businesses, Eric D. Chason, Robert T. Danforth
Faculty Publications
The authors argue that the goals of estate and gift taxation are not served by taxing closely held businesses when the recipient of the business actively participates in its operation. Further, the authors suggest that taxing closely held businesses tends to harm capital production. The authors propose an approach to estate and gift taxation that encourages productive behavior by the recipients of wealth.

Synergy And Friction – Cra, Bhcs, Sba And Community Development Lending, Cassandra Jones Havard
Synergy And Friction – Cra, Bhcs, Sba And Community Development Lending, Cassandra Jones Havard
All Faculty Scholarship
The era of federal funding retrenchment makes acute the need for community businesses to have access to capital. The Small Business Administration (SBA) provides small businesses with access to low-cost loans funds. The existing SBA regulatory scheme fosters an approach which allows a private mechanism, lenders, to make public policy decisions about the socio-economic character of communities. Implicit in the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and its recent reforms are a recognition of the complex interdependence among policy objectives. The reform statute specifically recognizes that geographical disinvestment has an equally deleterious effect on small business lending as it does on residential …
Pandora’S Box: Managerial Discretion And The Problem Of Corporate Philanthropy, Faith Stevelman
Pandora’S Box: Managerial Discretion And The Problem Of Corporate Philanthropy, Faith Stevelman
Articles & Chapters
Corporate giving to 501(c)(3) nonprofits (“charities”) is a more curious, varied and interesting phenomenon than commentators have recognized. Such “gifts” can be grouped generally into four categories. First, Giving to executives’ preferred charities represents an alternative form of compensation. Second, corporate philanthropy is often tied to the company’s commercial advertising, as a method of promoting consumer goodwill and sales. Thirdly, some corporate gifts may be motivated by their leaders’ desire to “give back” to the community, as an expression of corporate social responsibility. Finally, corporations may use contributions to politically enabled nonprofits, including think tanks and market-oriented/ “public interest” litigation …

West Virginia Corporate Law: Is It "Broke"?, Debra R. Cohen
West Virginia Corporate Law: Is It "Broke"?, Debra R. Cohen
Journal Articles
We are all familiar with the cliche "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The sentiment is as applicable to law as it is to the rest of life. When a law does what it is intended to do, legislators and courts should leave it alone. However, when a law no longer serves its intended purpose, it is "broke," and should be revised. The question is whether West Virginia's corporate law is "broke." In 1974, the West Virginia Legislature adopted the West Virginia Corporation Act (the "Act").' The Act brought then modem standards of corporate law to West Virginia. Since …
Shareholder Enforced Market Discipline: How Much Is Too Much?, Eric J. Gouvin
Shareholder Enforced Market Discipline: How Much Is Too Much?, Eric J. Gouvin
Faculty Scholarship
This Article considers the federal banking regulation regime implemented in response to the widespread bank failures of the 1980s and early 1990s. The first section of the Article examines the moral hazard problem created by the presence of the deposit insurance scheme and the market discipline debate that has attempted to correct the moral hazard problem. The Author argues that the law has evolved to make bank holding companies the primary enforcers of market discipline. The Article’s second section examines the specific regulatory changes that have been designed to create an incentive for bank holding companies to impose discipline on …
Oppression Of Minority Shareholders In Close Corporations: The Dissolution And Buy Out Remedies, Alexis Wochenmarkt
Oppression Of Minority Shareholders In Close Corporations: The Dissolution And Buy Out Remedies, Alexis Wochenmarkt
LLM Theses and Essays
To understand the potentially dramatic consequences of oppression in a close corporation it is in the first instance necessary, to outline the specific characteristics of these corporations. This thesis concentrates on the peculiarities of close corporations. Most states enacted "oppression" as a generic ground for remedial action. This study evaluates the different standards emphasizing reasonable expectations. Reasonable expectations if properly limited appears to be an efficient tool to measure oppression. In other jurisdictions, mainly where oppression is not available as a ground for dissolution, courts encountered the needs of close corporations by enhancing the owed fiduciary duties. Thus, in some …
Double Taxation - Treatment Of Corporate Earnings Under American And German Law, Roland Schmidt
Double Taxation - Treatment Of Corporate Earnings Under American And German Law, Roland Schmidt
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis is going to describe the different ways the United States and Germany deal with the problem of double taxation in the legal context of corporate distributions to its shareholders in the form of dividends. Tax law is particularly one of the areas of laws that are subject to frequent and often substantial changes. This is true for the German as well as for the U.S. tax laws. Since some of the issues being discussed in the United States today in connection with the corporate tax law are similar if not identical to the issues discussed in Germany before …

Fiduciary Duty, Contract, And Waiver In Partnerships And Limited Liability Companies, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Fiduciary Duty, Contract, And Waiver In Partnerships And Limited Liability Companies, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Faculty Scholarship
Among the controversies swirling around the promulgations of new uniform statutes governing partnerships and LLCs is the question whether and to what extend fiduciary duties should be made mandatory or waivable. Although courts and commentators have not traditionally focused on the costs of fiduciary duties, the costs are significant in that such duties may preclude agents from engaging in other legitimate ventures. Indeed, fiduciary duty may be used by those to whom it is owed to prevent competition or extort side benefits form participants. Mandatory duties effectively require participants who may identify multiple business opportunities to overinvest their human capital …
The Limited Liability Company And The Search For A Bright Line Between Corporations And Partnerships, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
The Limited Liability Company And The Search For A Bright Line Between Corporations And Partnerships, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Faculty Scholarship
Despite the potential loss in tax revenue, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is making it easier and easier to avoid corporate taxes. Witness the advent of limited liability companies and the proposed "check-the-box" regulations. This article takes a look at the real distinctions between -- and policy supporting -- pass-through and entity level taxation and draws the conclusion that entity level taxation will probably become limited to publicly traded entities only.
"Magnificent Circularity" And The Churkendoose: Llc Members And Federal Employment Law, Daniel S. Kleinberger
"Magnificent Circularity" And The Churkendoose: Llc Members And Federal Employment Law, Daniel S. Kleinberger
Faculty Scholarship
This article seeks to explain under what circumstances federal employment statutes should apply to LLC members. Part I recounts the advent of LLCs and describes the essential characteristics of LLCs and their members. Part II explores how federal employment case law handles the employee vel non question and explains the problems in using that case law to determine whether LLC members are "employees" for federal employment law purposes. Part Ill attempts to make sense of that case law and proposes a rule for determining when a business owner can provide services to the business without becoming an "employee." Part IV …
