This seminar focuses on business decisionmaking, including the roles of market regulation and private ordering on how shareholders, boards, executives, and outside professionals interact. We will read and discuss scholarship on core and current topics in this area, including theories of the corporation, governance, small business financing, and the like. Students will select paper topics within the broad area of corporate governance-including business transactions or litigation, corporate finance, or securities law-whether or not listed above.
