The Code For Corporate Citizenship: States Should Amend Statutes Governing Corporations And Enable Corporations To Be Good Citizens, Elisa Scalise
Seattle University Law Review
Corporations are important social actors. They are created by law and create products, services, jobs, and wealth upon which modem societies rely.
