The Ali Principles Of Corporate Governance Compared With Georgia Law, Marjorie Fine Knowles, Colin Flannery

Mercer Law Review

The American Law Institute ("ALI") is a unique institution. As one writer describes it:

The ALI is perhaps the most elite group of lawyers in the United States. Selected from the ranks of distinguished scholars and practitioners, the Institute is best known for drafting "Restatements of the Law" in various areas.

Is The Cross-Guarantee Constitutional?, Jennifer J. Alexander

Vanderbilt Law Review

Banks play a unique and important role in our economy. They serve tremendously useful economic functions; for this reason, our society has become irretrievably dependent upon them. Banks safe- guard our life savings and business profits, and provide capital to those who need it to buy, invest, or grow.' Although these functions could be performed without an intermediary-private citizens may freely lend their cash to other private citizens who need it-banks are viewed as safer and more efficient controllers of cash flow. They allow depositors to pool their cash resources collectively in one institution; then, retaining a relatively low amount …

The Separate Tax Status Of Loan-Out Corporations, Mary Lafrance

Vanderbilt Law Review

When professionals and other persons who offer their goods and/or services to the public conduct their businesses through corporations, the Treasury has acknowledged that for federal income tax purposes it must treat those corporations as separate and distinct from their controlling shareholder- employees, even where there is only a single shareholder-employee, provided that the corporation has a business purpose and the taxpayer consistently respects the corporate form. However, the Treasury has refused to accord equal dignity to incorporated workers who offer their services not to the public at large but to a single recipient or a small number of recipients. …

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part I of this Note first describes the problems that have prodded China to restructure its SOEs and then explains the root of those problems - the state-enterprise property relationship. This part concludes with a description of the unsuccessful attempts to date to reform that relationship. To understand why these efforts have met with little success, Part II explores the way in which most transition economies have attempted to address the ambiguity in the state-enterprise property relationship, by abolishing it through privatization. Although privatization is neither economically nor ideologically suited to China, experience with privatization does hold one lesson for …

Organizational Ethos And Corporate Criminal Liability, Henry J. Amoroso

Campbell Law Review

The quintessential principal of corporate governance is that the corporation's business should be conducted in order to enhance corporate profit and shareholder gain. Traditionally, corporations have been required to act within the boundaries established by the law and have been permitted to take into account ethical considerations that are reasonably regarded as appropriate for the conduct of the business. Professor Amoroso canvasses the case law and literature addressing the standard of corporate criminal liability and hypothesizes that the recently enacted Chapter Eight of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines will ensure that organizationale thics will assume a more significant role in the …
