	The Need to Dethrone Corporate Law - Boston College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		But corporate law determines the rules for some of the largest and most powerful institutions in the world and affects everything from employees’ wage rates, to whether companies will try to skirt environmental laws, to whether they will tend to look the other way when doing business with governments that violate human rights.
		Existing corporate law is fundamentally flawed, and the flaws are often insulated from attack.
		Corporate law has great promise, if we can harness it as a progressive force rather than let it remain a narrow servant of the interests of shareholders.

	Corporations law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corporate law also includes the law governing the relationships among various constituents of a corporation such as shareholders, directors and management.
		Corporate law is generally considered to be distinct from the fields of law that are principally concerned with the relationship between a corporation and a third party, such as commercial law, antitrust law, and environmental law.
		The corporate laws of the various states differ - in some cases significantly - from state to state, as a result of which corporate lawyers are often consulted in an effort to determine the most appropriate or advantageous state in which to incorporate, and a majority of public companies in the U.S. are Delaware corporations.

		Corporate Dissolution and Shareholders' Reasonable Expectations, 66 Wash. U.L.Q. In an issue that is a tribute to F. Hodge O'Neal, this article traces the development of one of Professor O'Neal's key contributions to American corporate law: the use of "reasonable expectations" as a basis for judicial relief when shareholder disputes arise in close corporations.
		When state rewrote their laws and presented them as regulating the relative roles of management and shareholders within one corporation, they were more successful-- even though a necessary casualty was the federal effort to preserve a market for corporate control against state interference.
		Law, both ex ante statutory law, and settling up by judges after the fact, is an alternative to markets (products, capital, management services, and corporate control) and private ordering (bonding, monitoring, dispute resolution etc.) Thus, there will be a different need for law in various contexts depending on the nexus of constraints.

	How Corporate Law Inhibits Social Responsibility
		Corporate law thus casts ethical and social concerns as irrelevant, or as stumbling blocks to the corporation’s fundamental mandate.
		Even when corporations are defeated in particular battles, they go on the next day, in other ways and other places, to pursue their own private interests at the expense of the public.
		Corporations abuse the public interest because the law tells them their only legal duty is to maximize profits for shareholders.

	SSRN-What is Corporate Law? by Henry Hansmann, Reinier Kraakman
		We then identify the major agency problems that attend the corporate form, and that, therefore, corporate law must address: conflicts between managers and shareholders, between controlling and minority shareholders, and between shareholders as a class and non-shareholder constituencies of the firm such as creditors and employees.
		In our view, corporate law serves in part to accommodate contract and property law to the corporate form and, in substantial part, to address the agency problems that are associated with this form.
		Corporate law includes not only the law of public and private companies (such as the German GmbH and the French SARL) but also much of what is traditionally considered to be securities regulation.

		Corporations are also taxed separately from their stockholders, creating a double-taxation situation—the corporation paying taxes, and the individual stockholders also paying taxes.

	SSRN-Empirical Studies of Corporate Law by Sanjai Bhagat, Roberta Romano
		First, there is a match between the methodology and subject matter: the goal of corporate law is to increase shareholder wealth and event studies provide a metric for measurement of the impact upon stock prices of policy decisions.
		Second, because the participants in corporate law debates share the objective of corporate law, to adopt policies that enhance shareholder wealth, their disagreements are over the means to achieve that end.
		Because the empirical literature related to corporate and securities law is vast, the chapter is necessarily selective and omits important topics and individual contributions in the field.
