Beyond The Business Judgment Rule: Protecting Bidder Firm Shareholders From Value-Reducing Acquisitions, Ryan Houseal

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

During the takeover transactions of the 1980s, bidder firms paid target firm shareholders average premiums of approximately 50% for their shares. Did the sizable premiums paid to target firm shareholders during the 1980s reflect post-takeover improvement in the target's performance? Or were the premiums a result of the mismanagement of the bidder firms' assets?

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

The elevation of law over politics is very new in China and the extent to which it is to be taken seriously is not always clear to the Chinese involved. The Chinese official and the Chinese citizen are part of a political structure in which the Party’s will and policies have been the most effective law… Laws and regulations have to be understood in this wider context of a society in which the formal legal position is only one consideration and still often not the most important.

Janssen V. Best & Flanagan: At Long Last, The Beginning Of The End For The Auerbach Approach In Minnesota?, Eric J. Moutz

William Mitchell Law Review

This May, the Minnesota Supreme Court weighed in on the issue of special litigation committees for the first time in Janssen v. Best & Flanagan. The Janssen decision provides some confusing but tantalizing hints that the Minnesota courts may be ready to increase their scrutiny of internal corporate governance.

The article concludes by arguing that the Minnesota courts should abandon the deferential approach they have traditionally taken to special litigation committee decisions and that the Janssen decision …
