Consumer law is derided as the law of small problems. But I believe it's important for addressing many of the biggest challenges of our time--climate change, inequality, social media disinformation, and beyond.

5/5.

[Review of Banking and Financial Law @BU_RBFL]

In sum, Chief Justice Strine explained that corporations’ and institutional investors’ primary goal should be to encourage respectful treatment of all corporate stakeholders in the pursuit of sustainable profit… 4/5

[Review of Banking and Financial Law @BU_RBFL]

Chief Justice Strine proposed a system where stockholder approval is required before corporations get involved in issues of social or political policy to “better ensure that corporate positions reflect a consensus view of their investors.” 3/5

[Review of Banking and Financial Law @BU_RBFL]

Strine expressed his view that “businesses granted the important secular advantages of corporate status should be ones where Americans, in their full range of religious and political diversity, can work, so long as they respect each other and labor together productively.” 2/5

[Review of Banking and Financial Law @BU_RBFL]

This past fall, RBFL was honored to host Leo E. Strine, Jr., former Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, as part of our Fall Speaker Series. Chief Justice Strine addressed corporate citizenship in the modern era... 1/5
