Removal Of The Corporate Director During His Term Of Office, Arthur H. Travers Jr. Jan 1967

Removal Of The Corporate Director During His Term Of Office, Arthur H. Travers Jr.

Publications

The traditional rules governing the removal of corporate directors have evolved so as to insulate the board of directors from the shareholders who elect them. Professor Travers in his article examines initially the interests being advanced by protecting the board members from removal by their electorate.

Economic Aspiration And Method, Jesse W. Markham Dec 1963

Economic Aspiration And Method, Jesse W. Markham

Vanderbilt Law Review

The topic I have chosen concerns the changing nature of organized economic enterprise, especially its social and legal environment. By organized economic enterprise I shall mean any economic entity in which decision-making is essentially composite rather than individual, of which business corporations and labor unions are the most obvious and, in terms of impact on the total economy, the most important. But by the criterion employed--decisions are essentially composite rather than individual--the average household consisting of at least one wife and husband surely falls within its ambit. Nor do I mean to imply that organized economic enterprise can be assessed …

American Enterprise In The European Common Market: A Legal Profile. Volume 1., Eric Stein, Thomas L. Nicholson

Michigan Legal Studies Series

The rapid expansion of international trade during the past fifteen years has confronted the American business counselor with a great variety of new problems. Solutions to these problems were not expounded to him in his pre-war legal education, nor are they to be found in the rich proliferation of advance sheets, digests, and loose-leaf services with which the modern American lawyer is blessed. When he turns to foreign counsel, he finds that a lack of common legal background makes meaningful professional communication difficult. This book has been prepared with the primary purpose of helping those American lawyers who, because of …

Corporations - Insolvency - Statutes Giving Priority To Wage Claims

Michigan Law Review

Statutes giving liens or preferences to wage claims upon the insolvency of corporations are found among the laws of many states. In reference to the priority established, these statutes can be divided into three classes: those specifically stating that the lien or preference created shall be prior to all other claims not secured by specific liens, those specifically stating that wage claims shall be superior to all other claims upon the property of the corporation, including mortgages, and those making wage claims a lien or preferred debt to be paid "before any other debt or debts." Under this last type …
