A Jurisdictional Approach To Collapsing Corporate Distinctions, Peter B. Oh
A Jurisdictional Approach To Collapsing Corporate Distinctions, Peter B. Oh
Articles
This article challenges our persistent path dependence on defunct distinctions between corporations and certain limited unincorporated associations. Recent federal tax regulations have inspired proposals for consolidated treatment of all limited business organizations through uniformly based or universally applicable statutes. I contend these proposals are preoccupied with how hybrid organizations such as the limited liability company and the limited liability partnership amalgamate, and thus implicitly preserve, traditional dichotomies between corporations and partnership categorizations as well as entities and aggregate theories. The continued use of these schemes compromises the legal basis for such proposals.
By critically examining certain jurisdictional principles, this article …

I have four stories to tell. First is that much of the …
Corporate Governance Reform And The 'New' Corporate Social Responsibility, Douglas M. Branson
Corporate Governance Reform And The 'New' Corporate Social Responsibility, Douglas M. Branson
Articles
The history of corporate governance "reform" begins with Adolf Berle and Gardiner Means's "The Modern Corporation and Private Property," first published in 1932. That book posited the "separation of ownership from control," discussed in the first section of this essay.
The subsequent history of corporate governance reform has been the postulation, by academics and others, of solutions to problems posed by the separation of ownership from control.
One subset of proposed reforms, those of the 1970s, formed the "corporate social responsibility movement." During that era, reformers urged governmental intervention which, as a matter of general corporate law, would expand corporate …
