Some Reflections On The Diversity Of Corporate Boards: Women, People Of Color, And The Unique Issues Associated With Women Of Color, Lisa M. Fairfax
Faculty Scholarship
As one might expect, there are many similarities between the circumstances of women directors and directors of color, which includes African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans. Indeed, both groups began appearing on corporate boards in significant numbers during the same period—right after the Civil Rights Movement pursuant to which the push for racial equality throughout society precipitated efforts to achieve greater representation of people of color as well as women on corporate boards. Moreover, while women and people of color have experienced some increase in board representation over the last few decades, both groups also have encountered significant barriers to …

Achieving The Double Bottom Line: A Framework For Corporations Seeking To Deliver Profits And Public Services, Lisa M. Fairfax
Achieving The Double Bottom Line: A Framework For Corporations Seeking To Deliver Profits And Public Services, Lisa M. Fairfax
Faculty Scholarship
Achieving the Double Bottom Line: A Framework for Corporations Seeking to Deliver Profits and Public Services argues that many people who object to for-profit corporations that deliver public services, such as kindergarten through 12th grade education or foster care, have greatly exaggerated the extent to which the for-profit regime will compel such corporations to subordinate the delivery of those services to financial considerations. Because of this over-exaggeration, these opponents have not focused on designing a framework that would assist these entities in meeting their double bottom line—achieving profit for their shareholders while also delivering a high quality public service. The …
Form And Function In Business Organizations, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Form And Function In Business Organizations, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Faculty Scholarship
In this piece, I argue that the recent proliferation of forms of business organizations in addition to the traditional partnership and corporation may have arisen from the implicit recognition that various organizations may serve needs of business people in different types of businesses, and that traditional theory of the firm explanations are too narrowly focused on market failure explanations for firm formation. I identify at least five different factors that may motivate people to form a business organization and discuss how these different factors may militate in favor of one business form rather than another. I conclude that the collections …
Doing Well While Doing Good: Reassessing The Scope Of Directors' Fiduciary Obligations In For-Profit Corporations With Non-Shareholder Beneficiaries, Lisa M. Fairfax
Doing Well While Doing Good: Reassessing The Scope Of Directors' Fiduciary Obligations In For-Profit Corporations With Non-Shareholder Beneficiaries, Lisa M. Fairfax
Faculty Scholarship
This article explores corporate fiduciary duties in the context of for-profit companies that operate in traditionally non-profit spheres. The rise in “privatization”—a conversion from certain businesses being operated by nonprofit and government entities to operation by for-profit companies—has sparked considerable opposition, particularly when it occurs within industries that deliver some societal good such as health care or education. Opponents claim that for-profit companies cannot pay heed to their social or charitable commitments because they must focus on generating profits. In a related debate, many corporate scholars disagree about the proper aim of the corporation—with some insisting that it should serve …

The Limited Liability Company And The Search For A Bright Line Between Corporations And Partnerships, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
The Limited Liability Company And The Search For A Bright Line Between Corporations And Partnerships, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Faculty Scholarship
Despite the potential loss in tax revenue, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is making it easier and easier to avoid corporate taxes. Witness the advent of limited liability companies and the proposed "check-the-box" regulations. This article takes a look at the real distinctions between -- and policy supporting -- pass-through and entity level taxation and draws the conclusion that entity level taxation will probably become limited to publicly traded entities only.
