Paying Ceos In Bankruptcy: Executive Compensation When Agency Costs Are Low, M. Todd Henderson

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Conventional wisdom suggests that high agency costs explain the (excessive) amounts and (inefficient) forms of CEO compensation. This paper offers a simple empirical test of this claim and the reform proposals that follow from it, by looking at pay practices in firms under financial distress, where agency costs are dramatically reduced. When a firm files for Chapter 11 or privately works out its debt with lenders, sophisticated investors consolidate ownership interests into a few large positions replacing diffuse and disinterested shareholders. These investors, be they banks or vulture investors, effectively control the debtor during the reorganization process. In addition, all …

Franklin Pierce Law Center: Leading The Way In Legal Education For New Hampshire, John D. Hutson

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] "This issue of the Pierce Law Review is the first devoted entirely to the practice of law in New Hampshire. This venture is appropriate because the Franklin Pierce Law Center is the only law school in the State. We are truly New Hampshire’s law school. Our Trustees, faculty, staff, and students feel this responsibility profoundly. Pierce Law serves as both a state law school and a national and international school. While we send a greater percentage of our graduates out of state than any other law school in the country except one, our alumni comprise fully one-third of the …

The Case For For-Profit Charities, Eric A. Posner, Anup Malani

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Nonprofit firms may not distribute profits to owners but instead must retain them or reinvest them. Nonprofits that are "charitable organizations" under § 501(c)(3) of the tax code may receive donations from individuals who are allowed to deduct their donations from their income for tax purposes. We argue that the law should not link tax benefits to corporate form in this way. There may be good arguments for recognizing the nonprofit form and good arguments for providing tax subsidies to charities or donors to charities, but there is no good argument for making those tax subsidies available only to charities …

Georgia State University Law Review

The bill as passed by the Senate would create a registry of electronic contact points for children and prevent anyone wishing to send messages advertising content that is illegal for a minor to purchase, view, possess, participate in or receive from sending to a registered contact point. The system would be funded by charging senders a fee for scrubbing their address lists. The bill provides for both criminal and civil penalties. The bill was modified in the House committee to replace the registry with a requirement that messages advertising such things as pornography, gambling and prostitution must contain ADV:ADLT in …

The Act increases the procedural requirements of eminent domain, including new notice provisions, additional rights for the condemnee, and new requirements for the condemnor. The Act increases procedural safeguards for property owners by enhancing notice requirements.

Mcgill

Georgia State University Law Review

The resolutions were proposed to amend the Georgia Constitution to restrict the use of lottery proceeds to fund core areas, including the HOPE Scholarship Program; other college and university tuition grants, scholarships, and loans; pre-kindergarten programs; and the state educational shortfall reserve. The resolutions would have removed language from the Georgia Constitution that allows these funds to be used to provide training on the use of computers and electronic instructional materials to K-12 teachers, technical institute personnel, and university professors and instructors. The resolutions also would have removed language permitting lottery funds to be used for capital projects at educational …
