Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel
Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel
Richard A Grisel
This paper argues that game theory provides powerful, effective new tools to analyze externalities that occur in the context of strategic, multi-party, interactive decision-making. I will attempt to treat this as a non-technical paper and avoid the complex mathematics better left to economists and mathematicians. Instead, a more achievable goal is to illustrate how high-seas open-access fishing is virtually identical to a game situation, treat the fundamentals of game theory, and demonstrate that game theoretic analyses are well-suited and fruitful for designing effective policy responses to fisheries management, particularly with respect to the straddling stocks problem. Indeed, one seminal fisheries …

Piercing The Corporate Veil, Financial Responsibility, And The Limits Of Limited Liability, David K. Millon
Piercing The Corporate Veil, Financial Responsibility, And The Limits Of Limited Liability, David K. Millon
David K. Millon
Veil-piercing is the most heavily litigated issue in corporate law, yet legal doctrine in this area is notoriously incoherent. In this article, I argue that the only way to make sense of veil-piercing is through an accurate understanding of the policy underlying limited liability. Once that is appreciated it then becomes possible to make sense of the appropriate limits on limited liability. Piercing the corporate veil can then serve the useful function of distinguishing legitimate from illegitimate reliance on statutory limited liability. After surveying efficiency rationales for limited liability and finding them unpersuasive, I propose that the best way to …

Lawrence A. Hamermesh
Recent Congressional corporate governance initiatives have reallocated to independent directors the functions of hiring and supervising the work of certain “gatekeepers,” and some have proposed such a reallocation with respect to general counsel, as a means to address cognitive biases and capture by senior management that may prevent inside counsel from identifying and preventing corporate misconduct. That proposal, however, does not sufficiently account for the positive effect on corporate conduct arising from a close relationship of trust and confidence between general counsel and the CEO or other senior managers. Eliminating such a relationship is likely to undermine access to internal …

Hedge Funds & Poison Pills: Can Typical Hedge Fund Activism Really Be Considered A Reasonable Threat Under Unocal?, Vincent V. Hilldrup
Hedge Funds & Poison Pills: Can Typical Hedge Fund Activism Really Be Considered A Reasonable Threat Under Unocal?, Vincent V. Hilldrup
Vincent V. Hilldrup
At a time when hedge fund returns have been stagnating and failing to meet expectations in the period from 2004-2007, they have also attracted significant amounts of capital as investors have eagerly sought to secure above market returns.1 Pressured to perform in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, hedge funds have turned to shareholder activism as a means of maximizing profits and increasing their returns on investment, seeking to influence corporate policy and, if necessary, hold underperforming managers accountable. With significant amounts of funds available at their disposal, they have the means to pressure management and directly influence corporate …

The Case Beyond Time, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, David K. Millon
The Case Beyond Time, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, David K. Millon
David K. Millon
The Delaware Supreme Court's opinion in Paramount Communications, Inc. v. Time, Inc.' treats several important questions that arise in connection with hostile corporate takeovers. At the same time, it leaves three critical issues unanswered. In this article, we first briefly describe what the Time decision did, comparing Chancellor William Allen's somewhat discursive Chancery Court opinion with the more peremptory ruling of the Supreme Court. Next, we identify three unarticulated but potentially far-reaching implications of both the Supreme Court's and Chancellor Allen's reasoning that threaten to destabilize seemingly settled doctrine governing the conduct of target company management.
Recalling Why Corporate Officers Are Fiduciaries, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, David K. Millon
Recalling Why Corporate Officers Are Fiduciaries, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, David K. Millon
David K. Millon
For all the recent federal attention to regulating - and differentiating - corporate officer and director functions, a curious fact remains: state fiduciary duty law makes no distinction between the fiduciary duties of these two groups. Instead, courts and commentators routinely describe the duties of directors and officers together, and in identical terms. To lump officers and directors together as generic fiduciaries with no distinction being made between them, suggests - as patently is not the case - that their institutional function and legal roles within the corporation are the same. Such a view, consequently, undermines efforts more sharply to …

Attorney-General Of Pakistan - A Brief Overview, Umair Ghori
Attorney-General Of Pakistan - A Brief Overview, Umair Ghori
Umair H. Ghori
The legal system of Pakistan represents a fusion of the Shariah law and common law systems. Traditionally, the Pakistani legal system adapted the pre-1947 colonial law for local use. Amendments to these colonial laws, in particular inspired by the Islamic traditions, have been interspersed in intervals. As a result, the Pakistan legal system retains fundamental common law doctrines (such as binding precedent and delegated legislation) while gradually integrating laws of Islamic origin within the existing common law framework. However, Pakistan's legal system is far from being a complete mirror of the English legal system. One such major distinction is that …
Crime, War & Romanticism: Arthur Andersen And The Nature Of Entity Guilt, David N. Cassuto
Crime, War & Romanticism: Arthur Andersen And The Nature Of Entity Guilt, David N. Cassuto
David N Cassuto
In 2002, Arthur Andersen, LLP stood trial for obstruction of justice. The prosecution offered several theories as to who at the firm had committed the crime but no one theory satisfied all twelve jurors. In an attempt to break its deadlock, the jury asked whether it could convict i f some jurors thought Person A at Andersen had done it and some thought it was Person B. Following argument, the judge ruled that it could convict. This article argues that the court's response to the jury's query was wrong as a matter of law and policy. The ruling misconstrues the …
