Teaching Future Board Counselors – World View?

Check back over the next few days as I will be blogging – in the Straddling series – on teaching corporate law to future counselors to corporate boards.  I am just now getting to Van Gorkom, Disney, Caremark, etc. in my syllabus, and I’ve been thinking about the world view implicit in The Prime Directive, by Rasmussen & Baird, on which I have commented previously, and that in The Unimportance of Being Earnest:  Reflections on Director Liability and Good Faith, recently posted on SSRN by Elizabeth Nowicki (I listened to Professor Nowicki give an overview of this paper at the Law & Society Annual Meeting in July as well).

To come:  reflections from my present academic perch on the good old days when I was counseling a corporate board. [Jeff Lipshaw]
