Combatting Corporate Tokenism: The Role Of Shareholder Derivative Litigation In Board And Executive-Level Diversification, Caitlin Gleason Jan 2024

Combatting Corporate Tokenism: The Role Of Shareholder Derivative Litigation In Board And Executive-Level Diversification, Caitlin Gleason

University of Pennsylvania Law Review

In the wake of several social justice movements, including the #MeToo movement in 2017 and the Black Lives Matter Movement in 2020, corporations increasingly emphasized their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a variety of ways. Amid shifts in both public attitudes and the corporate landscape, a new trend in shareholder derivative actions emerged: shareholders began suing boards of directors for corporate failures related to DEI shortcomings. As a result, major corporations like Meta, Cisco, and Gap have faced suits brought by shareholders seeking to hold boards accountable for corporations’ public pledges to DEI values and initiatives.

False Analogies To Predatory Pricing, Christopher R. Leslie Jan 2024

False Analogies To Predatory Pricing, Christopher R. Leslie

University of Pennsylvania Law Review

Philosophers and policymakers have long cautioned against comparing incomparable objects or concepts. Scores of judicial opinions caution judges and litigants against comparing apples to oranges. The original idiom, as recited by such sixteenth-century luminaries as Sir Thomas More and William Shakespeare, admonished against equating apples and oysters,4 two items unlikely to be mistaken for each other given their obvious dissimilarities in color, texture, smell, and immediate edibility. Over time, oysters were replaced by oranges and the expression evolved to caution against confusing two types of fruit, which do in fact share some similar qualities but are quite distinct and, thus, …


The Sweep And Force Of Section Three, William Baude, Michael Paulsen Jan 2024

The Sweep And Force Of Section Three, William Baude, Michael Paulsen

University of Pennsylvania Law Review

Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former office holders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion. Because of a range of misperceptions and mistaken assumptions, Section Three’s full legal consequences have not been appreciated or enforced. This Article corrects those mistakes by setting forth the full sweep and force of Section Three.

First, Section Three remains an enforceable part of the Constitution, not limited to the Civil War, and not effectively repealed by nineteenth century amnesty legislation. Second, Section Three is self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by …

Administrative Constitutionalism At The "Borders Of Belonging": Drawing On History To Expand The Archive And Change The Lens, Karen M. Tani Jan 2019

Administrative Constitutionalism At The "Borders Of Belonging": Drawing On History To Expand The Archive And Change The Lens, Karen M. Tani

University of Pennsylvania Law Review

Research on administrative constitutionalism has generally come out of law schools, from scholars specializing in public law. A limitation of the existing scholarship is its relatively thin empirical foundation. Administrative constitutionalism is hard to see because much of what administrators do is hard to see, and because the significance of some administrative interpretations only becomes apparent over time. This Article expands the archive, by alerting legal scholars to fine-grained historical research on Americans’ encounters with administrative agencies. This body of work—coming largely out of history departments—is particularly attentive to the experiences of marginalized and non-elite populations. And although the historians …
