Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
This tale is somewhat unique. It is probably one of the few panels, or the only panel in which there is a certain level of agreement. In fact, every one in this room probably has the basic agreement with this panel, that changes in regulation and changes in policy that we are struggling with are driven by changes in technology. This panel has been put together to look at changes in technology. It has three overall goals. The first is, as you heard one of the panels this morning talk about, to talk about technology itself to try to gain …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Corporate And Business Law, Robert L. Freed
University of Richmond Law Review
Corporate and business law has undergone a variety of changes in the past two years. This article summarizes the developments that occurred in this area of the law from June 1996, through June 1998. In 1997, the Virginia General Assembly amended numerous provisions of the Virginia Code. The amendments became effective January 1, 1998. Virginia state courts and the federal courts have issued opinions which have impacted the law in this area. Part II examines the abundant legislative changes made to title 13.1 of the Virginia Code and the recent judicial decisions affecting corporations. Most of the changes discussed were …
The American Corporation In The Twenty-First Century: Future Forms Of Structure And Governance, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
The American Corporation In The Twenty-First Century: Future Forms Of Structure And Governance, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri

This article focuses on corporate governance issues as they relate to the new technological developments and the issue of leapfrogging. I examine various theories about the new technologies and the changes in corporate governance that they may necessitate. I then assess and critique these theories in light of historical and other data. I suggest that our very concept of the corporation will be transformed by the Information Age. I also offer my own view as to the optimal forms of corporate governance that can equip American corporations with sufficient tools to win the accelerating competition anticipated for the next century. …

The last few decades have ushered in many changes and challenges to the American corporation. Foremost among these is the Technetronic or Information Revolution, which paradoxically not only shrank the world (the macrocosm) into a "global village,"' but at the same time expanded the individual human experience (the microcosm) exponentially. This dual action has created the new Global Economic Order, as well as the sphere of customized industrial production.

I am very grateful for the opportunity afforded by this Allen Chair lecture. I grew up in Richmond. During my formative years, between zero and two, my family lived in an apartment on Grace Street, and my mother would push me in the stroller around the block of Lombardy and Grace, where the T.C. Williams Law School was once located. Given all we know about psychology, it surely must be the case that the subliminal suggestion of legal studies at that crucial time accounts for my present occupation as a law professor.

Shareholder rights and their influence on corporate governance have become an increasingly important topic in corporate law. The recent wave of corporate downsizing in the early 1990's has disturbed our collective equilibrium. Many now challenge the basic corporate law tenet that the directors hold a fiduciary duty to the shareholders only and the traditional idea that the proper corporate goal is shareholder wealth maximiza- tion.

Diane, a director and public relations executive of a corporation called Discount Department Stores Inc., ("DDS"), which owns fifteen department stores, was having lunch in a restaurant located next to the DDS headquarters building. She was approached by Alice, a real estate agent, who had met Diane sometime ago at a soccer game involving their children. Alice asked Diane if she could join her for lunch, indicating that she had a business matter she wished to discuss. Alice told Diane that she was the selling agent for the owner of a large piece of real estate with an asking price …

University of Richmond Law Review
In the past, the traditional question posed by unions was: "which side are you on?"--presenting a clear choice between labor and capital. As membership and bargaining power fall, however, unions are asserting their rights as shareholders to influence corporate decision making outside the conventional labor law framework. Because the National Labor Relations Act does not adequately protect workers' rights, unions have devised innovative methods as shareholders to exercise unprecedented power over managers. In only a few years, labor-shareholders have become highly visible players in the institutional shareholder movement. As a group, labor-shareholders submit one of the largest numbers of shareholder …

Debt Financing And Motivation, George G. Triantis
Debt Financing And Motivation, George G. Triantis
University of Richmond Law Review
An individual's performance in a given activity is a function of her effort and her competence, as well as her surrounding conditions. Effort, in turn, can be divided into three characteristics: direction, intensity and duration. Intensity and duration of effort reflect the individual's motivation with respect to the given activity. Motivation is the product of a cognitive process that anticipates the outcomes of effort and, particularly, the degree to which the individual will be satisfied or dissatisfied with her performance. While individuals might define satisfaction in terms of input (i.e., the amount of effort applied to the task), they more …

Corporate America finds itself in a sea of change. This change is the result of many factors including rapid technological developments so revolutionary that some have suggested that a third industrial revolution, the Age of Informatics, is at hand. Dynamic and profound changes in corporate organiza- tions abound as a result of the numerous leveraged buyouts of the 1980s and globalization of the world economy.
On Being A Muslim Corporate Lawyer, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
On Being A Muslim Corporate Lawyer, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
Law Faculty Publications
It appears to me that religion subconsciously informs our individual professional practice and that a non-humanitarian form of secularism has quietly shaped our corporate laws. The attendant dissonance causes severe dissatisfaction, and at times even disfunction, in our society. The claim that our present corporate laws are imbued with a non-humanist secularist perspective deserves closer examination from a religious vantage point. Given our constitutional guarantees, our present legal structure appears to place undue burdens on persons of faith in this country. A more just balance between religious and various forms of secular perspectives is, I submit, a worthy goal for …

Massive subsidies by state and local governments to private corporations for the purpose of inducing such corporations to retain or locate facilities in their respective locales are attracting greater public scrutiny. Commentators are beginning to question whether the public entity receives benefits anywhere near the value of the subsidy. In Virginia, where Governor George Allen proposed giving the Walt Disney Corporation $163 million in subsidies to establish a theme park, the public responded with bumper stickers that read "Virginia Pays-Disney Profits."

Raiding The Establishment: New Perspectives On Takeover Law, Samuel N. Levin
Raiding The Establishment: New Perspectives On Takeover Law, Samuel N. Levin
University of Richmond Law Review
This essay offers a brief description of certain factors influencing the development of the law governing corporate acquisitions. In its most basic terms, the central issue in this field boils down to who should control the wealth and power of our country. The issue encompasses choices based on political, economic and social values. It is my thesis that implicit favoring of establishment groups over "outsiders" underlies recent judicial and legislative actions bolstering management's ability to fend off unwanted acquisitions.

Since the passage of the sixteenth amendment' in 1913 and the income tax legislation adopted thereunder, the development of new forms of business entities has been driven largely by the desire to harmonize two goals: limited liability for the owners of the entity and pass-through treatment of the entity for income tax purposes.
